Appreciate the green-n-golden passion......but Asst Coach at a storied D-I P5 program? As silly as the "Nina should be Asst Coach" assertions. Even 2 Star knows better than that.......BUbackerinET said:
She has options, if she doesn't get picked up, domestically and doesn't want to play internationally, I bet Collen could find a place for her. IMO, she would do a good job coaching inside players, and could you imagine her on the recruiting trail?
.....or a potential LSU hire. She'd be going home too.BUbackerinET said:

Great point Caddy. I'm reminded of a CNC statement..."It's not so much getting to the WNBA, but finding a way to STAY in the WNBA." Is that ever a true statement. Tough road.Caddywampus said:
When you've only got a league of 12 teams...with an average roster of 11-12 players?...What's that? About 135-140 players total in the entire league?* That's a lot of competitive pressure coming up from the bottom out of the college ranks. Very little room for error. Overseas teams will have some room for her, not a problem. Wish the young lady well. And so grateful for what she did for Baylor.
*(Perspective: You can seat the entire WNBA roster of all 12 teams inside of one 737 aircraft..and still have seats for all 12 team's coaching staff.)
Via socials she was very excited for Mulkey to be going to LSU. I would not expect her to end up back in Waco - she has plenty of years left internationally, at the very minimum.zunooreo said:Appreciate the green-n-golden passion......but Asst Coach at a storied D-I P5 program?

She also expressed on SM enthusiasm for Collen's move to Baylor.
That was Sune Agbuke. She is practicing law in Waco.BUbackerinET said:
(Is Kalani the one that went to law school?)
Presumably it focuses on the study of carrier pidgeons.WacoKelly83 said:
Kalani majored in communication studies. I'm too old to know what that is.
I know you know this, but once you turn pro, your college career is over regardless of how many years of eligibility you might have left.ScottS said:
Because of Covid could Kalani get 1 more year at Baylor?
In response to #3: Makenzie (Robertson) FullerBone Squad said:
I know this is just a message board and people can speculate about anything. But I will say I would be very surprised to see Kalani on Mulkey's staff.
1) Kalani's young and can still make plenty of money playing pro-ball overseas even if no one else in the WNBA picks her up.
2) I've never once heard Kalani express an interest in coaching (feel free to post any interviews to the contrary though).
3) I cannot think of a single former Lady Bear that Mulkey ever hired onto her staff, and there are plenty of them who have coached at some level or another. Off of the top of my head, that includes Nina Davis, Jhasmin Player, Niya Johnson, Jessika Stratton, Jordan Davis, Emily Niemann, and Melanie Hamerly. That's not to say she never would, but it suggests to me that having played for her does not necessarily give anyone a leg up against other qualified candidates.
I considered Communication Studies as a major at one time but developed an upper respiratory condition during Smoke Signals 101.Bone Squad said:Presumably it focuses on the study of carrier pidgeons.WacoKelly83 said:
