He recruited good players (Nationally ranked kids) but could never make it work. Nikki was considered an up and coming coach due to her short stint at UCLA. She improved UCLA for sure. Although a much closer look at it now, she had some significant recruiting issues at UCLA as well, and she left before the recruiting truly hit them hard. At LSU her main success has been early on her first three seasons with the last coaches players, since then she has not accomplished anything with her own kids. She continuously gets knocked out the first round in the NCAAT every year. She recruits combo guards who can't shoot for defensive purposes. We had some unfortunate luck with injuries but her practices are awful and so physical that kids get hurt too often. So I do blame them partially. LSU recruits kids and they either are getting suspended, injured or they transfer. Its been very routine for this program. Nikki unfortunately just isn't likable by anyone now. She was at first when she came to LSU but she has a big ego. Not sure if she has it just because she comes from the Pat Summitt bloodline but its been very bad. She has also alienated the boosters and fans on top of it. The attendance is awful, although its expected when the product on the floor is bad. She is the definition of mediocre. She isn't losing seasons bad but she isn't doing what LSU paid her to do. Oh and to demonstrate how incompetent she is. She didn't turn in the starting lineup today in time so Rutgers was shooting free throws before the tip off lol [/QUOTE]
