Better Recruiter: Pokey or Coach Kim?

We already know Pokey couldn't coach against better prepared teams, but who brought in more elite talent in just a few short years?

Well I guess it depends on the recruit? Pokey has one distinct advantage over Kim.

What exactly does that mean? A better-prepared team is effectively a better-coached team, is it not? So you are saying she couldn't coach against better-coached teams?
Pokey took LSU teams to 3 straight final fours, first as an interim then twice as Head Coach. Then her team went to their 4th straight after she resigned.
IMO that takes both recruiting AND coaching. Pokey would have been the first LSU coach to win a Natty in WBB if she had not been run off for an inappropriate sexual relationship with a player(s).
ETA: My memory of the aftermath was incorrect, I thought it ended up being a GA she had a relationship with, not a player. Subsequently, I saw that was not the case and that there were allegations of more than one player over time.

Kim should hire Pokey

Whatever success Sue Gunter had at LSU was directly attributable to Pokey Chapman and Bob Starkey. Those two recruited and coached the teams.
Pokey was a young HC when she coached at LSU. She and Starkey made a good team. They had high level success but never won a NC. I think they would have had she continued at LSU.
That being said, Kim Mulkey is a top 5 all time WBB HC and hall of famer.

Definitely not happening. There is some bad blood between them from when Mulkey was at Baylor.

Any sexual relationship between a coach/educator and their athletes/students is inappropriate. There’s obviously a lot of abuse that can go wrong there and some conflicts of interest.
You continue to be one of the worst posters on here. You’re even worse than me.

Augustus/Fowles are a couple of the best basketball players of all time in their sport. I don’t know if we have a caliber of those two quality yet so far under kim (Williams can be one one day) but kim has brought in lots of elite talent in a short period of time from the HS ranks and the transfer portal.
Kim got LSU over the hump though. Parity today though is much more than back then

Would you be cool if Brian Kelly was sleeping with his players?

This is completely false! Sue Gunter was a very good coach.

Both generational talent that won't come along very often.

For whatever reason, I recalled something different from the actual situation.

Groomer isn't right but I did have a faulty recollection of events, so my mistake there.
