This is a terrible article about Kim Mulkey. LSU coach Kim Mulkey and a history of callousness
The problem I see with "she wins" is that there are many more options to WCBB programs that have raised their level of play and the universities are more apt to fund the right way. The days of Mulkey, Geno, and Pat Summit and those like them being able to dominate are gone. This is a new era and the old school way that used to work....won't. I really believe the NIL puts players in a stronger position than the coaches. It's coming to those who are not willing to change. That is my opinion.....Wow what a scathing article, some of it even in her own words. Bottom line, the writer answers his own question - why would anyone want to play for her? She wins.
What’s lost in the victories, however, is the damage done to young people. Aside from how she treated Griner, Mulkey also recklessly defended Baylor, her former school, in the midst of allegations of rampant sexual assault.
“If somebody’s around you and they ever say, ‘I will never send my daughter to Baylor,’ you knock them right in the face,” she said in 2017. Her comments later were even more insensitive: “I work here every day. I’m in the know. And I’m tired of hearing it. The problems that we have at Baylor are no different than the problems at any other school in America. Period. Move on. Find another story to write.”
Your recall seems suspect. Do you remember who it was that won last year's National Championship?The problem I see with "she wins" is that there are many more options to WCBB programs that have raised their level of play and the universities are more apt to fund the right way.

That was a one off.....if she does it say 3 out of the next 5 then your point may be valid.....as of now it isn't. The turmoil will make many players back off from LSU. It happened in this recruiting cycle. It will only get worse.Your recall seems suspect. Do you remember who it was that won last year's National Championship?
Wes Moore at NC St....and many others disagree with your "not many options" There are more options now than ever. Geez....she didn't land a player in this cycle that mattered. Northwestern is ranked higher at No. 25. She may rebound but her attitude won't play well going forward. The NIL has changed everything along with the amount of quality programs to choose from.A big reason why recruits choose Kim is that she's real. She doesn't beat around the bush or cater to the masses, she says exactly what's on her mind even if it winds up being a PR nightmare. She's brash, honest and keeps players accountable. Most importantly, she knows her stuff and is an excellent coach with results to back it up. Players don't have to agree with everything she says, but if they want to go to a winning program and develop as players, there aren't many better options than LSU. Add in the NIL landscape with players reportedly earning 7 figures and it's a no brainer why she's recruiting as well as anyone.
You haven't a clue! At present there are only two schools who could possibly win three NCs out of the next five years! They are LSU and So. Carolina, but the odds of that happening are out of sight. The "turmoil" as you've referred to LSU's problems won't be a concern depending on how far the teams goes in March (with or without Reese). NIL, the transfer portal, and a coach's winning record will also be big factors in recruiting.That was a one off.....if she does it say 3 out of the next 5 then your point may be valid.....as of now it isn't.

So true. It also doesn't mean that everything they have written is totally accurate and many times not correct at all.Just because someone wrote something doesn't make them a journalist. It's like these guys with a leaf blower and mower calling themselves a landscaper.
I think people are getting overly dramatic and looking to make things more than what it is. Frankly once Reese leaves I personally think things tame down in BR in a good way. They just signed the #1 class last year, signed a good one prior and mulkey has success with the portal ever year. One off recruiting class isn’t gonna change my opinion. I actually think cambridge ends up at LSU. Strong is rumored to be leaning towards UNC thoughThat was a one off.....if she does it say 3 out of the next 5 then your point may be valid.....as of now it isn't. The turmoil will make many players back off from LSU. It happened in this recruiting cycle. It will only get worse.
But your daughter might want to.I wouldn't want my daughter to play for her.
According to Kim, that would earn you a punch in the face...I wouldn't want my daughter to play for her.
That's not how I read that at all.That is, indeed, a terrible article. My favorite part is when he uses an awful quote from Nicki Minaj, but attributes it to her in a different paragraph so that anyone casually scanning would believe the words came from Kim Mulkey.
But your daughter might want to.
There's an old saying, Every Knock Is A Boost. So I wouldn't look too badly upon this coverage hurting WCBB. And, I was just teasing you regarding your daughter.No daughter of mine would play for Mulkey or for Chapel Hill. If she insists I'll tell her to go live with her aunt (my sister)
Anyway.. Ill be happy when all of this gets cleared up.. There is only so much national coverage that wcbb receives, hate that this is taking up any of that limited coverage.
So true. It also doesn't mean that everything they have written is totally accurate and many times not correct at all.
What about her other 3 titles? Were they all one offs too?That was a one off.....if she does it say 3 out of the next 5 then your point may be valid.....as of now it isn't. The turmoil will make many players back off from LSU. It happened in this recruiting cycle. It will only get worse.
