That's like every 5th post I make.
BS.
Saying you'd hire her cause you'd pound her ain't DEI.
Might be the thought but actually attributing the acronym to them, no.
That acronym is typically a one way put down directed at one group of people, MOSTLY. Some do understand the nuance.
quote:
Some people do get selected because of their skin color or sexual perversions.
Are you saying this doesn’t happen when liberals are in charge?
1. I'm not calling LGBT a perversion. That's with them and God.
2. With that said, YES.
3. But that is an overcorrection and not the standard. DEI was on its truest, a check and balance, that could be overutilized. However, doesn't mean every person you disagree with should be scrutinized in that regard cause most truly did earn it. Again, a form of racism or bigotry, by minimizing anyone who could potentially meet that requirement for benefitting from it.
So to that, how many times have you seen on this board, DEI being hypothesized of a white woman? Because they are DEI beneficial as well.

One of the most racist things posted on this board, please point out one of “us” have agreed, supported or longed for it. Then explain how selecting or promoting somebody on race isn’t racism. And when you say “you” understand some of us who you may be calling racist actually have adopted siblings that are minorities and absolutely detest DEI because they are superior in at all levels and the DEI hires embarrass her!
See that's the thing. I'm giving you all more credit than you think because I don't think those of you who are truly racist and follow this path are idiots. Because idiots couldn't come up with the logic to get to the point where we say DEI, is racist. It's literal gaslighting and you have to have understanding to do it. DEI existed in the sense you all believe for what reason? Not to include those who did not have merit, but to include those who did because they were purposefully shut out. You all understand that fact and choose to ignore it.
Now can't that go to far, YES! But to can nepotism. Nepotism of family, faith, race, political ideology and so forth. So then why, are DEI initiatives such the primary target? Because of the perception of whom it primarily promotes (even though that perception is false).
That's why I said, just be real about it cause no matter how you try to twist it or attack me, that's the truth of it.

Wow, you do realize that DEI is racism. It isn’t even debatable since SCOTUS ruled in it. So there is nothing “racist” to say somebody didn’t earn anything when they are given things based strictly on race.
Jim Crow was racism, doesn't mean many of you don't still agree, support and long for the days of it and take terms like DEI and use it to reason yourselves into why your sentiments are correct without having to state a true position for yourselves. Just be real about it.

Like clockwork. Always a board leftie revives one of his random troll accounts to come into a dei thread with the same exact comment.
What a white guilted loser.
Shots fired in pure darkness!
My of my posts have been sports related, have been pretty consistent over the years and I'm not white bro.
I just like it all to be out in the open and be real. It's not hard to see on this board. I read a lot of it and just don't say anything. Just decided to today.
Now, I don't agree with what dude did but being black, I can say he's the type to do some dumb shite like that but not because he climbed the ranks of high achievers due to his minority status. That's stupid.
quote:
I have not seen that. Can you provide actual examples or are you just making a sweeping generalization?
Nope. Not about to go search for what's easily accessible to you.
I've been on this board for years. I know what I've seen. Go find it and do whatever you need to do to convince yourself that it isn't the case but it absolutely is for MOST who have commented it on this board.
quote:
DEI is an overtly racist system. It’s illegal and unconstitutional based on recent SCOTUS precedent. It’s not racist to question whether a seemingly unqualified minority benefited from the illegal and racist DEI system.
Go search DEI in the history of this board. This post may be about this one person. The term on this board has basically been used to describe anybody who has achieved any perceived success academically or professionally that isn't white, most predominantly black people.
But none of that is my point, this is a free space where many have said much worse and it's been praised, so just say what you mean. No one is going to stop you or care cause you're amongst like minded friends.
What's with the whole DEI thing? Just say what you really want. It's not thinly veiled racism if it isn't thinly veiled. Just be out right racist. Just be who you are!

Nothing you’ve said is true or less say provable because we know what you people do with terms like true. “He loses everywhere he goes” “empty trophy cases”, these are factually false and the only hint at data you’ve provided ego every attempt at “fact” you’ve made has been the inverse of reality
Sure .sure...so then what has he won as a head coach other than mid major conference titles? And does that equate to the success you expect at LSU...a second time around? Cause that's the baseline.

Doesn’t run 4 corners or the weave enough most likely. Thats the “Xs and Os” he’s not good at lol.
Hate both of those so no, but go rewind the tape on his first stint. What was the offense? There was none. Straight street ball. Pick and roll, make a decision to attack or pass or clear out for 1-1. Basically, what was ran. Watch the quality of the plays. Not hard to see and when other teams deciphered, he had no counter. That was most of the losses. He just stood over there chewing gum looking dumbfounded that his athletes didn't beat disciplined teams. I mean, just run the tape. I know these things cause I ACTUALLY WATCH THE GAMES.

Absolutely zero context
You want context? Recent final fours on average boost recruiting and success rate for P4 teams in following years even thru coaching changes. Especially if he's the coach you all believe then he should have been able to immediately get the ball rolling in those respects, right? What hindered him? Unlike McMahon, who as much of a shxt coach he is, had to contend against the damaged reputation of this program, due to Wade.
Context. Keep up... mentally.

Lmao thanks for confirming, you’re an idiot. That’s the only evidence of anything you’ve given.
VCU, LSU, McNeese and NC State's respective rafters and trophy cases are filled with the evidence of emptiness from the Will Wade eras that support my facts.
Enjoy fantasy land, I prefer reality.
quote:
So why are you here?
Why are you? Dick riding a requirement to post? I didn't realize. My bad.
Actually I thought McMahon was horrible and much worse than Wade. I just think Wade is shxt too and have thought that since his first stint. He paid for talent and could still only get to 1 sweet sixteen at LSU. Consistently underperformed in big games.
At VCU, he got hired at LSU off Shaka Smart's left overs. Had a run at McNeese but think about it, he had an established name at a mid major. You will attracted underrated talent and can compete on that level and that kind of hunger will get you a few wins against the P4.
What did he do at NC State? Nothing and they were what, a year or 2 removed from a Final Four.
The evidence has been there, but you all ignored it cause you think arrogant, brash a-holes who stick to their guns means folks are "one of us".
What happens when the kids and parents who have to buy into that don't think it's as great as you all do?
He's gonna get some kids eventually but do I expect a title or even a final four, no, not really.

Yes, most of this board worships at the feet of all things born and bred of idiocy.
He can't coach x's and O's and now that everybody is paying folks, there is no advantage to sacrifice playing for a competent coach over a payday when you can have both.
Down vote it to hell, IDC.

Yea this one tells me Kim is going all in on proven talent and that she already has commitments.
She usually does announce all at once.
This is going to be interesting!

re: Only if Mulkey had a recruiter
Posted by LABred08 on 4/8/26 at 6:38 pm to Jim bean xxx
McMiller is an interesting one. High profile out of high school, lived up to it at each stop at Rutgers and Penn State. Heard about the huge ego, that's Kim's jam but sharing the ball has not been her thing. If she's finally tired of trying to do it alone, she's a great fit for Kim and the style of play but then, what's the lineup because she's not an off the bench player. Does Fulwiley agree to come of the bench again in that scenario?
Janneh, would be a great pick up off the bench subbing Knox or vice versa.
Crump is a great fit to spell the 2/3 with an elite 3 point shooter to space the floor. Her with any of the 3 guards and the way they can penetrate and kick would be very hard to stop.
Edwards would be an obvious yes, its her and Knox on the floor at the same time that makes me excited. Those 2 running both sides of the floor with any guard who can dish for the next 3/4 years would be great.
Trygger, I just don't get unless you can add an athletic 5 too, because she's just Koval with a better shot. Nice to have bodies but we need someone who can run and defend athletic bigs from other teams as well.

Already has Lauren's younger sister Siena. It's basically her spot and they've been preparing her for it all year, she was a Freshman this year. I could see Close trying to run double bigs but I just don't think she's a great coach. Feel like she got lucky getting Betts from Stanford after Tara left and just had a bunch of Seniors who knew their role, did their job and executed.
Trygger can be physical inside, shoots the 3 too much for me but can shoot it, wouldn't get that opportunity here but I would say is basically Koval with better rebounding and but everything else is really a wash. About the same speed, gets in foul trouble too. Honestly, not much difference

re: Gracie Merkle is set to enter the transfer portal out of Penn State.
Posted by LABred08 on 4/4/26 at 1:10 pm to Metaloctopus
The discussion of dominance came from the post I replied to stating about how we get dominated by other teams big girls and need some to return that. If you read that you'd understand the context in which I stated, Merkle is not that.
My point was she would not be as productive with LSU because 1. Our pace is too fast for her to succeed because Mulkey like to play a certain style. 2. She would not be a focus of the offense like at Penn State
My previous post becomes even more relevant after last night. The two games I mentioned, that mattered are the two teams in the national championship tomorrow. She has decent, not great showings in blowouts. The worse of the two against the style we play and see night in and night out. It's not a match.
Hence my mentioning Woolfolk who's a perfect fit. Reynolds who we played this year and cause us problems is also a good fit. I'd hoped Cody and Jones and Bama had gotten in the portal since Curry left bit the didn't.
Why a 1 year, non fit isn't what you're looking for? Because Williams and Fulwiley are Seniors next year. You have a chance to compete for a title. You don't bring in a piece you expect to swallow up extensive starting time, that changes your whole pace and style of play and then make them have to do a total rebuild on chemistry. You need plug and play pieces and that boosts you for the year after where currently we don't have a true star on this roster as of now.

I think it's more of process if elimination thing, who do you start over her? I love Hines play but unless she takes jump over the summer I think she might not be starter quality til mid way thru SEC but it's going to happen. Behind that are no other guards.
The alternative is playing Richard, moving Williams to the 2 and Zakiyah at the 3 (her natural spot) then Knox and Koval or transfer big.
We for sure will see that lineup during the year but I think Johnson has to take a big leap on her outside shooting and ball handling to get there. She's got a 2/3 body with a 4 skill set.
