For those that actually follow women's bball here, isn't this season shaping up to be horrible like the 2015-16 season was? Players leaving, recruiting problems, etc...There's only 1 senior on the entire team this year which is unheard of in women's bball.

Just makes little sense to do this when she had a year left, unless the extension included no buyout.

She does not have one freshman on this year’s team. Did not bring one in and some of her best transferred

well it took DD 38 years to win 1 SEC so maybe Joe is using that theory (BTW, I am not anti DD, don't need the down votes), I am ANTI Nicki, lazy and under .500 sec after taking over a top 10 (maybe 5) program...that's not easy to do so fast

Probably set up like her previous amended contract (2014)....

1st year $650K buyout
2nd year $450K buyout
remaining term...$250K buyout

Knowing Joe though, he probably increased these numbers by $100K each year.

LSU only signed one player last fall, Monet Jones. Due to some personal issues this summer she was removed from the program. LSU resorted to signing a bunch of JUCO's who weren't even among the top juco ranks out of desperation.

LSU's star player Moncrief graduated, and Chloe Jackson bolted for Baylor.

This year is going to be really ugly unless these JUCO recruits pan out and take miraculous jumps. LSU's entire game last season vs team's with a pulse resolved around Mitchell, Moncrief and Jackson as they were literally the only kids who could compete with the other SEC caliber athletes.

There shouldn't be a buyout, this is a joke, LSU is pissing away extra money for nothing. Nikki has zero leverage at all.

Her program has not moved forward. LSU has not been ranked nationally 90% of the time under her. The assistant coaches is like a carousel. She has annual issues with suspensions and kids getting kicked off the team or transferring. She cannot recruit at all and has alienated some of the best HS programs in Louisiana. LSU has not moved past the first round of the NCAA tournament outside of playing at home in her first couple seasons.

She has also pissed off and alienated the boosters as well to put a cherry on top.

If LSU had balls and was smart, they would hire the Associate HC at Miss St


I used to be pretty close with the program but not anymore. Whats funny is this entire offseason has been non stop propaganda coming from the WBB social media trying to self promote after all the crap that went down after last season ended.
