I think if a coach really wants a player to stay they will make it happen the players that leave KM wasn’t that concerned about losing.None were game changers.

Anna played pro league since 14 yo against older players, she is not a pushover. Both Kim and Bob love her and praise her talent and basketball IQ. Give her time playing games in Nov & Dec, she will catch on.

She wanted Koval to stay; that is why she drove to Koval's residence. In the short term we will miss Koval. Do not know what the long term will bring. Bradley obviously is a huge piece going forward.

Bella played 3rd most minutes off the bench for TCU tonight. Two other transfers and freshman started over her at guard but her dad said Mulkey wasn't ever gonna make her a priority.

Her dad is full of it

Grass isn’t always greener. Her minutes were gonna go up and she was developing

Don’t have any sympathy for her situation now

Bella's dad is full of himself. He wanted to be the center of attention. He was demanding and wanted promises from Kim. Bella wanted to stay. She was only a true freshman, could have let it play out. Parents are really the #1 dream killers in sports. Whatever happened to proving yourself, competition, and work hard towards a starting role? Nothing is ever given, everything is earned.

Mulkey I’m sure would have like for Koval to stay but I also think she wanted Minaeva more than she wanted Koval otherwise knowing the situation between the two countries she’d never would have recruited Ana .

I would be shocked if Ivanna went anywhere else other than Maryland. She has been a lean there for quite some time. Now if she stays there 4 years idk as Brenda seems to lose half her top starters annually for a while now

I think they can only hope for Qandace if not I see them adding 2-3 international players then go hard in the portal. The international players typically don’t cost as much at least on wbb side.

I think a lot of change to recruiting staff kinda getting in late on other recruits didn’t help but they’ll be fine.


Next year post group should be Caroline, Mineava, Morro (if she elects to come back), Knox, Lampley. They were looking at at 6’3/6’4 forward in Nigeria I heard but it’s super fluid. They’ll just need to get some guards from portal but those are easier to find then bigs

Impact guards is definitely where we will be lacking. Assuming the wheels don’t fall off the roster in the next couple years, we should have a problem with how many forwards and centers we have. On the other hand, we will almost need a whole new rotation of guards if we don’t get Lay and Williams back.

It’ll depend on a few things but if Jada does take that extra year then you’ll have the PG slot, Zakiyah will move full time to the wing who I think will be a monster these last few years once she gets more comfortable with her perimeter shot

They will still need to hit the portal hard for guards but front court will be extremely talented and deep. It’s almost like guard talent/depth swapped places with post play but at least guards are much easier to find. Bigs are so much more difficult to find, especially quality ones.

Fulwiley and Williams will both be 1st round, top 8 Wnba draft picks. Williams projected #3 to #5. Fulwiley projected #6 to #8. Doubtful they will come back 5th year. Kim has said she supports them going to the Wnba next year.

Athiei Dahl said in a recent interview she is a big South Carolina fan who loves Karmila Cardosa and Asya Wilson. Hopefully SC doesn't offer her so LSU will have a chance.

Any reason why they would be recruiting her if they didn't need her? I would hope they wouldn't waste time recruiting players they don't need.
