It does not matter who steps in. You got to have a Kristy Wallace out there i Mulkeys mind. That girl is the one that needs to be replaced. Her mentality was unreal. Not sure Morris as talented as she is could fit that role for the next 3 years. Maybe Mulkey has got her eye on another Kristy Wallace out there from Aussie or not, but that is EXACTLY the type of player we need. Someone who will do whatever it takes and loves Mulkey, Baylor, and all that goes with it. Maybe Morris has the writing on the wall. We don't know. But if I had to wait one stinking year to find another Wallace I'm willing to wait. I hope Mulkey is looking at that type player who will present NO problems at all and be a blessing to the program. Morris obviously was not.
I beg to differ. A girl named Sims comes to mind as to our best point ever...setshot said:
There is no question that Kristy was like having a coach on the floor, and Mulkey often said as much. She was a unique player and irreplaceable in some respects.
Morris, however, is the best pure point guard I have seen at Baylor. We have had some good ones over the years, including Lambert, Mulkey's first one who was quite extraordinary in some aspects of her game, but Morris has the rare combination of speed and quickness, combined with skill acquired over many years of playing that position, that few players possess. She can score, defend, facilitate, and attack defenses and few guards can do all of that with the level of poise and efficiency that she possesses. Her loss from this year's team was a crippling one, and playing the point by committee as we are now forced to do, using players who have not been accustomed to bearing that responsibility and making those kinds of decisions will hurt our chances for success this year.
Whether it works out for her to return next season or not is a critical factor for Mulkey, as it affects her recruiting and the combinations that she can put on the floor next season. Grayson was a highly ranked point guard coming out of high school, but for whatever reason she seems to be playing off the ball in this rookie season. She is a fine shooter and seems to make good decisions with the ball in her hands, but is not in the mix at the point this season as things now stand.
Ursin has not been a point guard in the past, though as a do-it-all player for her high school team she did play the equivalent of that position some. I do not think that it is her comfort zone, but I would like to see more of her on the floor. She is a dynamic player and one who works hard at her game, but she is not a pure point guard, and neither is Jackson or Landrum. Other teams will take advantage of Baylor now in ways that they could not if Morris was playing the point for us this year.

I think that is what is being worked towards...of course who knows for sure...it will be a long process if she does have to miss being around and a part of the program for an entire year.Scottdye said:
Is she coming back as a LADY BEAR next season? Her Twitter account sure points in that direction.

I want her back...,
But i do wonder if she is looking at Mississippi State... lots of posts about them...
A teenager going through a really rough time emotionally and having to adjust to a mindset, lifestyle, and level of discipline in all areas of her life to which she may not have had much exposure before. I would guess that hers is still a rather delicate situation. She will be under a lot of pressure no matter what we do, but we don't have to add to it. Que ser, sermimi25408 said:
.Kim is not going release information until the time has come especially not to 400 people at a tipoff club before addressing the media. She gonna keep things private until she decides the basketball world should know. I have talked to Alexis and she is thriving in school and still working hard. She has a totally different mindset and loves Baylor even though she isnt currently on the team.
As right now we need to halt this conversation. LET'S RESPECT HER PRIVACY! She has got word of her named being mentioned on UCONN'S board and really wants everyone to let her be.
What ever decisions will be made we need to wait until it is released to the press. She is not on the team so we need to focus on the current players on this team. She is just a teenager, respect her privacy.

I was just told that Morris is gone again and this time she's not coming back. She was just granted her release papers and that she's trying to get Richards to go with her.
Where is she going?skilledup said:

Carter wouldn't last a minute under Kim or another Top coaches. She runs players off of teams.
