Thank you.

Not to be a party pooper but can we stop talking about her personal life. It seems that everyone is more focused on that than basketball. Yes she has had some bad situations and is engaged to Howard but I dont think it needs to be talked about every times she is mentioned.

---

somewhat agree, and think this would be true if college basketball were still amateur, but it's a multimillion dollar sport and this site itself exists for revenue... and it's also entertainment... and when any politician, actor, athlete is on the stage... well... they're on the stage. you might not like my comments or my opinion, but they are mine... and i think the very existence of these sites only endorses such discussion

Having a right to do something doesn't necessarily mean an individual exercising that right makes for a good community member. Not addressing the issue of talking about a player's personal life specifically, but statement about rights and message boards in general. Message boards don't HAVE to be anything. They are driven by the community that participates in them.

I have expressed unpopular opinions on this board before, and while I feel justified at the time I express them, I have to remind myself that continuing to tie up a thread just so I can attempt to "win" an argument is egocentric and somewhat selfish. If I want to keep putting my option out there with no regard to others, I should blog, not be a part of a community....

Annnnd what does her personal life have to do with you?

She didn't come here to get married to the guy, she came to play for Mulkey and the Lady Bears.

Thank you.

My sentiments exactly. If you don't like the personal life of one of our players, keep it to yourself -- unless you are just itching to start an argument.

I certainly don't take into consideration the personal life, sexual preference, one's religion or lack thereof, etc., etc., when one of our players excels on the floor or field. They are all Baylor Bears to me, and that is all I see.
I welcome them all and look forward to cheering them on.

Wow. On Instagram their is a video of Dwight going one on two against Moon and Didi. They steal or take ball from him , Didi dribles towards a goal that has been lowered. Tossed the ball up like a alley-oop to moon and she slams it down hanging on the rim.

Fan forum posted that Cal Berkeley's McKenzie Forbes has entered the transfer portal.
Forbes played club ball (AAU) with Caitlin Bickle.

McKenzie Forbes, last season freshman, has entered the transfer portal at Cal. She was Mc Donalds AA but she is not really the type of guard that Baylor needs. They have a lot better on the team already.

Have seen her play. She is slow and poor defender. Not really a "guard" but more of a "3". I see her going to an Ivy League school or mid P5 school, not an elite program.

That was also my assessment. I watched her play in the Nor Cal high school playoffs. She also lacks the desire and it factor. Her team was constantly carried by their 5"2' freshman point. McKenzie disappeared whenever it counted. She is an example of a player who gets a high rating based on physical appearance. But because she was a McDonalds AA some P5 program will pick her up on rep alone. Hey! Someone picked up Destiny Littleton and Forbes is at th least her equal.

Ok we know te'a was in town. Does anyone have a ideal of what's going on. She signing or is Kim weighing her option. Or is this just a stall move.

It sure seems like someone is slow-playing it.

Totally.

We are in a unique situation this year we do not have to have a transfer and no transfer would come in with a guarantee for playing time which most are looking for. A lot of kids are not interested in coming and competing with the talent we already have in place.

On the flip side we can be very picky in terms of taking anyone...only if it is a fit.

There has to be some hesitation on both sides here to pull the trigger...I think both sides are making sure it is the best for both. Smart.

The talent and experience at the Point Guard position would be a definite positive in terms of depth and roster flexibility.

With Te'a she wants to be part of a NC, her fit with the team and to improve her status in the next draft. She is evaluating her options and Kim maybe pondering the fit.

A coach cannot comment on a grad transfer until they officially enroll in classes - not sure if Cooper is doing summer school - though I doubt it. So until she is officially enrolled in the university, Mulkey can't comment on it.

Also - Mulkey has NEVER been one to broadly advertise players. She'll do it when she sees fit and is allowed. Outside of that, everything is internal as it should be. This is a team decision, situation, and adjustment. She will and always has done exactly what needs to be done for the betterment of the team.

Expect Cooper and one more transfer to be announced in the coming weeks.

What the? What type of connections you got?

No worries. In Skilledup and Bawitdaball I trust!

Don't give me too much credit, Skilledup is the all-knowing resource

From skilledup reports, it sounds like this is a done deal and her presence here was just to meet-mesh with the team

That is what it appears to be. I doubt it will be know any time soon but it might, only Kim knows. God bless her.

Hey Guys! I've been a regular reader on the site for years but I've finally got enough courage to post! I love the Lady Bears and especially Coach Kim. I've been following the Grad Transfer speculation and I'm a bit concerned. I really don't feel that we need any grad transfers because I'm concerned that we could possibly have a mass exodus of our players, especially Fierce 5, who leave due to not getting an opportunity to play and grow. All wise and seasoned posters please ease my concerns!! Thanks guys and Geaux Lady Bears!!

Don't worry, it will NOT happen. All these young ladies want to be on another NC.

Thank you!!

I don't see anyone leaving this year; HOWEVER, I do hope that people are aware that the women's game is changing and transfers are going to happen. It won't mean that the season is over and it won't mean that Mulkey or the player did anything wrong. It will happen, so prepare yourself. We will always be ready, prepared, and have the ability to adjust - just as we did this year without Morris. So, when it does happen, please don't post that this is Cooper's fault or that Mulkey brought in grad transfers and that is why people are leaving. It is the new landscape of the sport and in order to "play" the game you will get some and you will lose some - you just have to trust that Mulkey will do what she needs to do to keep Baylor an elite program.

Good point but I also point out that while it is easier now to transfer it has happened in the past and will continue to happen...Beatrice, Wright, Small, Morris, Chou are just some of the more recent ones to leave for various reasons. We have managed to survive...

And, the real question is how did each of them leaving impact our program? For the better or did not effect?

I agree, we will always have players transfer whether they are big time players or not. It happends. We all know what happend with Morris, only a few of us know the real reason for the transfer of Beatrice and Wright. Small leaving was not a shock at all. I could always tell she was unhappy it was all over her face. Chou I slightly knew she was going to transfer but I tried to not think about lol but hey her loss because made room for Juicy !!!

As we were winning in Tampa, I wonder what those that left thought. Did they say.....I could have been winning a natty.

I thought the same thing lol, but it makes me sad because I really wanted it for Kristy Wallace and Nina Davis, they both worked their asses off at Baylor.

I never look back on that although, it is a thought I am sure they all have as few of them (if any) will become professional players in the WNBA. The reason I never look back is because perhaps their presence would have changed the chemistry of the team as well as team performance and, we may not have won a NC because of that. All things work out in the end and because of how things turned out, we did win the NC.
