Ignoring...unacceptable.

Well, WNBA, 2018 COY, somewhat successful in college ranks. I guess I can see the upside of style of play being enticing (WNBA) to the kids and hopefully, recruits.

Recruiting... I'm a little nervous. Will it be Wednesday, at the earliest, of finding out if Messer and Brock are retained? I guess we still don't really know of positive aspect until before Conference play in Jan, 2022.

Meh. I wanted Molly Miller. She had a proven record in college (albeit at a lower level). I think we settled a little on this one and got lured in by the WNBA title.

I'll support her, though, and hope for the best.

Collen had a great record Year 1 when she had players. Years 2 & 3 all [every single one] of the Dream's top players sat out due to their fight with Loeffler over BLM and gay marriage.

So the "losing record" argument has a rather sizable asterisk.
Appreciate the information!

HAHAHAHA It gives me no pleasure to remind you all that I told you repeatedly that it would be someone completely off all of your radars and someone you've never hear of. It's all about P&L management. She's a few hundred thousand a year coach.

The fall from elite under Mack starts.........

And hiring someone whose biggest win was the huge game against Motlow St. wouldn't have been settling?

Her resume does seem to be inferior to every other candidate mentioned previously. Hopefully she can prove us doubters wrong. The body of work suggests it doesn't look promising.

Well I think it's a really good hire, and only time will prove one way or the other.
She was not my first pick, but she parallels it.
To me, having the WNBA experience will go along way in recruiting VERY talented lady bb players, and that's important.

It remains to be seen how she will fill out her staff, but I am hoping she will add Nina Davis as part of it. And her husband who is a very good coach in his on right.

This is true!

If this hire was prefaced on her keeping Messer and Brock then I guess it's okay, if not seems like a poor hire.
Don't know if this is true, but early on, rumors were that Messer would go to LSU with Kim if she didn't get the HC. Hate that if it is true.

It could be worse.... ya'll could've had the other Nikki.

Given how it went. If we were going to completely gamble anyway, we should have promoted Messer as that would have been a safer gamble.

For anyone who prefers facts to rumors......

Tom Collen [Coach Nikki Collen's husband] was an Assistant Coach at Arkansas when Sytia Messer was a freshman & sophomore.

So he has known her for 26 years.

Thought that nugget might prove useful.

Sixx? That would Rock! I would pay big money to see that.

Still surprised it wasn't Messer and Brock, in some combination.

I like the hire.

Now go put together a kick-ass staff and I might love it!

Here's some irony for you. Joni Taylor's hubby Darius is on her staff with the Dream.

At this point, Dana, that would have been a much safer call than the one Mack made.

I am not excited about this hire.

I was on the Molly train but would had preferred about 5 other candidates that were mentioned before Collen as well.

Sounds like to me that Mack wants to snuff the Baylor Mulkey regime completely out. Remnants and all.

She's our coach now so whether you like the initial hire or not let's all go out and support her and the Lady Bears. I hope she comes in and kicks ass.

She was a noted prospect for the job and got passed over. Pretty humiliating to stay now, don't you think? She'll be fine. There's a Lear45 just waiting to come get her. We'll see what she does. Never know.

Money helps heal those wounds rather quickly. We definitely have the money to pay more than LSU and she wouldn't have to uproot her home life and move.
