Has anyone heard about Toyelle Wilson leaving Baylor? Found the below comment on Twitter from Raoul:

Looks like the new Michigan WBB assistant coach will be Toyelle Wilson, who has been on the Baylor staff the last six seasons; former head coach at Prairie View A&M; native of Voorhees, New Jersey

Coach Wilson's twitter account address has changed. Also, the address no longer includes the phrase "BU".

The Michigan Head Coach is Kim Arico Barnes, a friend of Kim Mulkey's. Barnes has done a good job at Michigan, she was previously at St Johns, another successful stay. Mulkey and Barnes both had children while coaching and Mulkey always has positive things to say about Arico Barnes.

I have no insight as to the reason for this possible job change for Toyelle. Wilson did a terrific job at Baylor.

Just spitballin. Maybe the move is precipitated by family matters. New baby. Maybe closer to family. I know she's from Jersey but ya never know the dynamic.

Kim Barnes "liked" Raoul's tweet. Between that and Toyelle changing her Twitter, I have to assume it's true. Surely hate to lose her.

Really hate to lose her but we did win the Natty while she was on maternity leave so certainly not insurmountable for the staff. Maybe this leads to a promotion for someone deserving internally?

Will be interesting to see what happens with that position. Is it an outside hire or a promotion for someone already on staff? Wish Jazz Player hadn't already taken job with OU....

Was Toyelle or Sytia considered more responsible for our uptick in recruiting? Thought it was Toyelle but not sure. We will need a great replacement but I'm sure Kim will do that.

Seems Sytia was on all the big (and talked about) recruiting trips last year (HVL trips) and I'd heard she is the one who knows the exact type of players Kim wants and goes and gets them. IE: Fierce Five. Again though, I've heard this (probably here) but don't KNOW that and would love confirmation!!

Pretty good loss but we still have some great coaches and above all MULKEY.

Kim will either replace her or promote someone within. Not worried

Toyelle WIlson brought in some great Lady Bears as did Sytia Messer. Together they were very successful and Baylor benefited, to say which one was better you would have to ask Kim.

I thank Toyelle for her time at Baylor and wish her well as Assistant Coach and Recruiting Coordinator at Michigan.

She and the Michigan coach have know each other for a long time and they are both Jersey Girls!

High School recruit Aquira DeCosta & Coach Toyelle Wilson

One of my favorite memories was when Coach Wilson joined a group of 37 Baylor fans as we cheered on Odyssey Sims at a WNBA Dallas Wings game. Her enthusiastic personality was energizing !

Best wishes to Coach Wilson as she continues her journey in Michigan. I appreciate her contributions in recruiting and training Lady Bears for Big 12 championships & a National Championship.

Both. Look at the pics that recruits posted and the tweets they "liked". Tia and Toyelle were a great tandem to market the Baylor name on Kim's behalf.

I love the mention of Jhasmine Player. Even though she recently took the KU assistant job that wouldn't prevent her from taking this job. Head coaches understand when an assistant receives a dream offer. ADs understand this as well. For example Chris Beard left for the TT job shortly after taking another job.

Bummer. Loved her. Such an enthusiast n promoter for BU. Just odd she wasn't at FF.
We'll know who was the recruiter if any of the players follow her to Ann Arbor

No info, just a guess on my part, but I think Kalyn Shillinglaw ( went blank on her married name) moves up.

I would hope a former WNBA player with possibly some international player experience would be selected.
Top recruits are looking for an avenue to professional basketball jobs.

Well, she already lives in Waco, but isn't in coaching.

Is Women's Basketball the only D1 Sport that has a 3 to 4 (75%) Staff to Player Ratio? It seems Football wants to increase staff but really?

Sorry about brain fart on Player at OU... Knew it was KU, but I had just been catching up on Jackie Stiles to OU thread the other day and conflated my info. Happening more frequently as I age, darn it!

No. Moved to Waco to work for a local car dealership in marketing I think.
