She could probably get some more money from the vols

They had no one left…the till is full

They play no defense so if she was drafted her time would be limited and quick

The problem I have is Mulkey said all players would be back next year and these last two days, we have lost Bella and Jada.

So, again, unless she has told the team she is bringing in some very good players, this seems bad.


I can understand the thought, and if it was any other coach, I might be worried.

But Mulkey is a Hall of Fame coach, she's made the tournament every year here, and been to the Sweet 16 or further every year except her first. And since LSU will go get portal players and with the AD saying he's going to continue to support women's hoops, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt until the on-court results suffer.

Some of this is that Kim probably wants to spend on proven players.

If these ladies didn’t break through last year, then they may not be the talent we need for championships.

Is Mulkey retiring?


It has been funny to hear legacy media talk about the “AI Twitter accounts.”

When Doucet was talking with Starkey about the Mulkey retiring tweet, Starkey made an odd comment like “We didn’t want that out now.”

I agree. I just wish she would come out with a comment about this.

Maybe they are being told they will have to take a "pay cut" next year. I trust Kim will still have a sweet 16 team next year. I just thought we could do that with our current team, with maybe one or two portal players.

In other words, their WORD means absolutely NOTHING. NO loyalty, no Commitment! Liars. And scared of the competition that might be incoming! Disgusting!!

This move by Jada probably has something to do with another high level PG coming in.

He means when the portal is opening and right before they had a 5 star about to commit.

I thought she only expected one to hit the portal.

Yes, but Bella and Jada weren't "One" of them.

The players lied. Maybe tell mulkey up front at the coaches meeting you’re leaving and not just up and leave later

IMO Bella told the truth but her Dad had other plans for her.

Sa'myah did the same thing last year. Told the coaches she was staying the day after they got home from Spokane, then walked down the hall to Compliance to put her papers in for the portal.

I really thought this team would stay together. Mulkey said all year long how close they all were.

Still got Williams, Fulwiley, Knox, Koval, Johnson, plus Lampley. Good core, but can't afford any more bag-chasers.

And 10 days have gone by. That is plenty of time for some tampering to take place.

Hopefully Bella's dad was right about us flirting with other guards in the portal
