So Arkansas just announced a new assistant not named messer. Does that mean she is not going there?
Thank you @Hoophall!

This weekend has been nothing short of incredible! I’m honored to have shared the stage with the #20hoopclass! To those who came to Connecticut for the induction, and to each and every person that has played even a small part in this journey…thank you! pic.twitter.com/Lt3TS5KgEC
Mulkey may have told her that after 5 years she will have a good shot and LSU be encouraged by Mulkey to take over the program when Mulkey retires. Then LSU can pour the money back into football.Old300Bear said:
Mulkey said in her Hall of Fame press conference on Friday that all of her staff but one would be joining her.
I was pretty surprised because I read on here that Sytia didn't like Kim and wasn't going.
Kim hasn't announced her staff because she is having difficulty filling some spots. A couple of coaches have already turned down the job at LSU.Jpbu152001 said:
I saw that and did think, well she is going to LsU but it doesn't mean she is for sure gone. Also it hasn't been announced by LSU. With us planning on announcing early this week and with the other new assistant coach being a more post coach (per the interview with someone today) it made me wonder if there was a possibility of Messer staying. It might be all wishful thinking but once Arkansas was filled it made me hopeful.
What says we have or have not? There are many people where throwing money at them doesn't move the needle. They have their own ideas of where and how they want to work and live. When will people here figure that out?ScottS said:
Why would we not make a big effort to get Messer? Clearly she is a recruiter with access to some current d1 players.
Thrilled to Announce @Michael_Motta as our New Assistant AD for Basketball Operations 🙌

looks like he is Collen's "Johnny Derrick" senior level non coaching support staffCaddywampus said:
Outside of his twitter page, I can't find anything on him. Is he a ghost? Maybe we can order an FBI background check on him and see what we get.
(Pat Neff basement chatter....."You're being mean, cuz he's a really nice guy. He loves warm puppies. And he's within budget.")
Oh!....Okay, so he's a State Farm agent. Got it. That will come in handy if the team school bus runs into a Volvo. Because they sure as heck won't be flying charter much longer.4th and Inches said:looks like he is Collen's "Johnny Derrick" senior level non coaching support staffCaddywampus said:

2 assistant coaches.BUatbirth said:
CNC has one assistant coach and the two assistant ADs on staff. What hires are we waiting on? I kinda don't think CNCs staff will be as large as previous...right?
I like this post. Some of the panic on this board is premature. Let's see what things look like in July.Adriacus Peratuun said:
For those wondering why the process is taking some time:
1) assistant coaches often have retention bonuses in their contracts. Stay to a certain point [normally tied to the end of a school year] and earn that year's bonus. Leave early, no bonus. That issue is why Baylor's former staff remained in place. That issue is likely why one [or more] of the two AC spots has remained open. With the recruiting dead period, there was zero harm in letting the coach earn their bonus at their old job before moving to Baylor. And Collen has been clear that one hire impacts other hires [balanced staff]. Think that one hire is the key log that allows all of the other hires to move forward].
2) budget. Often coaches want a signing bonus to replace a lost retention bonus. By waiting, $ saved. The staff needs a maximum recruiting budget to "catch up" on 2022 recruiting. Savings elsewhere help.
3) don't be shocked if at least 1 of the hires brings a player with them. In OTT world, hiring will now have a "player bonus" attribute.

Mack shared recently that Collen is talking to both High school and AAU coaches. She should have some new hires announced in the next few days.BaylorBearWBBFan said:
I saw it reported that her next hire is from the high school ranks. No idea who it is.
Correct Caddy. Craig Smoak just posted the "cliff notes" of Mack's interview.....Caddywampus said:Mack shared recently that Collen is talking to both High school and AAU coaches. She should have some new hires announced in the next few days.BaylorBearWBBFan said:

he brought 3 with himTxRainMkr said:
When Bill Brock was hired as a Baylor assistant, having Sheila Lambert come with him sure was a big prize for us.
A bundle hire...I like it!DanaDane said:
Any chance she can find an assistant who can bring, oh......let's say, 5 or 6 players with her/him?
