Current roster is not a mess, depth is a mess.

No one was saying current player are a mess, roster depth was a mess and will be for some.

And it would have be fixed through the transfer portal. It always has been. Do you remember how Tea Cooper, Chloe Jackson, and Dejanai Carrington arrived?

Jaden Owens was ranked 14th overall & 3rd best guard.

Queen Egbo was ranked 7th overall 8th at her position.

Nalyssa Smith was ranked 13th overall & 8th a her position.

Sarah Andrews was ranked 7th overall and 2nd best PG

Kanariah McDaniel was ranked 30th. Average 19.8 pts a game at PSU.

Jordan Lewis is ranked 2nd best transfer of the year (espn) avg 17 pts per game at Bama.

Caitlin Bickle was ranked 80th

This is NOT a MESS. This is a roster that other Big 12 coaches would give their eye teeth for. And CNC is extremely grateful for what she inherited. This team is not ranked 7th because KM used to coach here. Nor is ranked this high because CNC came here. This team is 7th in the nation based on the players that are on the court. They have that potential or even better if they are coached well this year.



Agreed but Bickle was actually ranked 28th in the class of 2018 ranking! We had the 3rd, 7th, 13th, 18th, and 28th ranked players in that 2018 class which was the number 1 recruiting class.

Typical nonsense from the typical crowd.

1) no one attacked the current players. They are great.

2) if anyone can't distinguish between the quality of the current players and the # and age distribution of the players, time to give up and go get some education. Quality and Quantity are not the same measurement.

3) as pointed out in detail, the inherited roster had 3……3…….3…….3 non-seniors. If you are too dense to understand what that means than put down the keyboard.

The "Well Kim would have…." Nonsense is laughable. Kim is gone. Kim was the one who created the mess by not recruiting in sufficient numbers.

Nicki Collen and staff inherited 7 players [Gusters was already processing paperwork]. 4 are seniors. Those are objectively verifiable facts. That is objectively a mess. No rational person would argue otherwise.

The staff is doing a great job and with some good luck avoiding injuries will have a great season. But anyone who thinks that the staff isn't having to work at an insane pace to simply fill out a roster for the 2022/2023 season doesn't understand numbers or basketball. When the transfer portal opens during/after the season no coaching staff will be spending more time trying to find quality players. Baylor will likely need to make at least 3 pickups. FYI………Chris Beard notwithstanding, that is a very high number of transfers.

Try to keep up people.

To be redundant, it's that guy or girl at the party who can't quit talking about their ex and desperately wants you to dislike him or her too. It's obsessive. Move on.

Pseudo expert.

This is what you don't get when you can't keep your HOF coach:

Hannah Gusters, Chrislyn Carr, Maryam Dauda, likely Christianna Carr
Sammie Wagner, Sa'Myah Smith, perhaps Maddie Cox

Sytia Messer, recruiting coordinator

Roster under HOF coach would have been just fine. The carnival barkers think they know better.

Shell Game carnival boy.

The topic is recruiting. The topic is what the current staff faces under the current situation.

The topic isn't what the prior staff might have faced under a different situation. Nice try to deflect.

And BTW the HOFer left on her own when she painted herself into a corner and refused to accept that she misplayed her hand. Her mistake, her decision.

and since we talk about the losses let's talk about the wins

we kept nalyssa smith "the best player in the country" - Nicki Collen
Queen Egbo dominating in the paint having some of the best post not looking like their normal selves. Virginia Tech game Uconn game are prime examples.
Sarah Andrews looks so comfortable in the system and with this team she will
grow and develop leadership skills as she gets older.
Jordan Lewis the main reason Alabama beat North Carolina in the first round of the tournament. If you haven't seen that game maybe you should watch.
Ja'mee was on of the best shooters in the Big 12 and we got that.
That is just naming the starters.
Now recruiting trail we have just started recruiting this summer and got 2 great players with huge upside and build quality relationships with AAU teams that will
help is in the future.
She got some great coaches to fill her staff that also are well know like Chloe and great at relationships building with Tari.
so lets not talk about the negatives but the positives.

It simply is not an "either/or" situation. A person can respect the former coach, be grateful for the team's successes under that coach, and appreciate the person she was, warts and all, AND, respect the current coach, be grateful for what she has accomplished, and, hopefully, will accomplish in the future, and appreciate the person that one believes the new coach to be, even as one is in the process of learning who exactly that is.

Respectful people respect differences of opinion; bullies belittle if you don't tow THEIR line. I have made the mistake of letting some posters who fall in the latter category stir me up enough that I have forgotten I would prefer to be in the former. I have found the ignore feature to help me find my way back. Engaging gets no where. Thankfully, the season is about to start and real fans will have the current season to talk about. I look forward to that mightily.

I just noticed that out of her final four Baylorwbb is the only page she is following on Instagram. Hope that is a good sign that she has made her decision.

Yes but Texas did not make her final 4 list. Her final 4 list in which she also took her offical visits to were Alabama Florida, A&M , and Baylor. She opted out of her fifth school.

Nice video of Bella on Signing day talks about giving CNC a chance and wanting to commit as soon as she visited.
She sounds very well spoken.

"I lived in Texas from fourth to eighth grade and I always wanted to go to Baylor," Abraham said. "They were a popular team, and when they started recruiting me, I said, 'Yes, this is where I want to be." - Kyla Abraham

With all four of DLB's finalists having released announcements regarding who they signed, don't be surprised if she waits until Spring signing date or pulls a big switch.

When a player has four finalists and all four schools announce their signing classes and the player isn't in any of them, it causes me to think hmmm.
Brusinbear2001
How long do you want to ignore this user?
i just don't think she has committed. so how could we claim her if she hasn't said she wanted to come here and that also goes for any of the other schools. This is the early signing day i feel she is taking her time and i respect it more time for our staff to build a relationship.

Not sure what you are referencing. No one "claimed" her.

The player publicly identified four finalists. Per the releases of those four schools, she didn't sign with any of them. That fact is unusual and thus noteworthy.

Trying to read anything else into the situation is your choice but is not what anyone posted. I posted my interpretation of the facts, you can post yours. But don't misstate prior posts.
Brusinbear2001
How long do you want to ignore this user?
But because she didn't sign today with us does not mean anything, this coaching staff met her this summer and we are in her final 4 if she is taking her time I believe that is great for us. Maybe she was thinking about A&M and coach blair leaving is having her weigh other options.

Knew she was a 23 but didn't remember her visiting so good. Would love to get some good news. Know Toney Greene recruited her at Marquette.
