Between the players and the coaches, this portal season has been one for the ages and it hasn’t even officially started yet 😳

29-42 in the ACC (and that's with 11 wins this past season) and was a bear to work with. Her firing may have prevented a mass exodus.

Tells me they've been working on this for several days if not weeks.
Plus, the portal opens tomorrow. The sooner a head coach is in place the better. Will still take a while to assemble a coaching staff unless she brings several from McNeese.

A great hire and perfect timing! Kudos to UGA! She's a rising star, and you have to snag those early before the price goes up.

Wow! Had a gaudy record in her 1 year at McNeese. Prior to that a gaudy record in her final year at SE Louisiana, preceded by pretty meh, in one of the worst conferences in the country. Seems like a STRETCH. Did they learn nothing from the disaster at Tennessee?

I'm gonna say this strictly from the outside looking in. I just don't think Georgia prioritizes women's hoops over its other female sports.
I recall they poached the women's track & field head coach from Southern Cal a few years ago the week after she won the NCAA Outdoor team championship. It's paid off as she won the women's Indoor title last month.
I'd say Georgia's NIL for women's athletics goes to Track & Field, Tennis, Gymnastics, and Softball ahead of hoops; I definitely could be wrong.
