Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3760490, member: 5798"] Agreed that Schaefer will need at least two more recruiting classes to get HIS players in place for what I perceive as a "sustained" run in the BIG 12. Up to now, Mulkey has had her pick of the liter in Texas. Those days are gone. Baylor will still be a drawn, but so will Texas. I say he's off to a good start. Baylor is down. This year's team will not be as dominate as those of year's past. They have 6'5" freshman [B]Hannah Gusters[/B] as their tallest post player. Can she carry the team on her shoulders all year? I don't think so. She's got a lot to learn, and a lot of adjustments to make, and she better not get hurt. Junior Queen Egbo is her backup at 6'3". Big difference from last year. I said that Vic is the new sheriff in town because I believe that transition has already begun. Mulkey is not clueless, she sees the landscape changing. She saw the moving vans go by. :oops: Whether Collier leaves as you predict (I'll believe it when it happens) or not, someone will take her place. You said: [I]"Collier will be going pro after this season"[/I]. That to me is a statement of FACT. How do you know she will leave? Do you have personal knowledge of that? Are you suggesting that Collier is the last BIG that Vic will ever have in his program? Vic has no problem attracting BIGS! To compare Aston and Schaefer as you did is not relevant. They are two totally different coaches with different appeal and approaches. Schaefer recruits from all across the country, not just in Texas. He was able to attract some very highly talented players to Starkville. Texas is a much higher profile program. He certainly won't have a problem attracting talent there. I obviously like Schaefer more that you do. Your take is noted. Right now, all either of us can do is give this "lip service". Time will tell which one of us is right. Let's see how they do against each other in their two meetings this season. This team is basically a team of players he inherited except for the players he was able to recruit at the last minute, and the transfers he was able to get. Let's see what this Texas team looks like in two years when most of the players on this team will be HIS recruits. Let's see where they and Baylor are in the national standings. [/QUOTE]
