Hold on to your TVs, Peck is back

[Vowelguy]

Carolyn Peck has left the Vandy staff and is heading back to announcing.

Strange circumstances around her departure.

Starting to wonder if Stephanie White needs to go back to the W. They sure as heck need good coaches, and things are not working out so well for her in college.

The program is struggling for sure. I hoped White would succeed there.

I really hope she doesn't get to cover WCBB or the WNBA anymore. Her country twang is just a bit too much .

Peck is godawful. Period.

It has been a rough transition for White. Remember, while Vandy had been in a downward trend, the cupboard was not empty there, but there have been a lot of transfers, including Kayla Overbeck to USC (who has immediate eligibility).

Remember that the finalists for that position were Princeton's Courtney Banghart and ND's lead recruiter and PG coach, Niele Ivey.

White is bringing in her recruits now, so let's see what happens.

Good for Carolyn Peck. Getting back to doing something that she really enjoys.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Likeable, but annoying to a fault with her unabashed SEC spiel on air.

 

[Magy Cannon]

I like Peck as an announcer.

I don't mind Peck. Not a favorite, no worse than most of them.

I do worry for White. Like Barnes here in Arizona, arrival was accompanied by lots of losing. But what we lacked were the player transfers, and the cupboard was much barer than Vanderbilt. Knowing she was going to be gone, the prior coach at Arizona didn't recruit her last year; no database or information on prospects was found when she left.

But, as said above, her recruits are arriving, which we also have seen here. So I think this is an important year for both programs to show some improvement. They don't have to win their conferences, but need to be respectable.

I assume that Mikki DeMoss will end up filling the assistant coach's seat, at least temporarily. I have the impression she really is looking for a more limited role.

I really like Carolyn Peck, but I'm SEC biased. I still think she offers smart commentary.
Strange time for a departure. Vandy must be struggling.
