Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 3186300, member: 6620"] If you recall, the proverbial cupboard was not empty when she took over for Melanie Balcomb. Maybe not as many highly rated prospects, but solid ones. Since then, zounds of them have moved elsewhere and there have been a bunch of transfers. Last year, they did improve a bit, but still there were concerning signs: why would a junior, Cierra Walker, transfer with just one year of eligibilty left? She started, averaged 12+ ppg and was actively involved in player meetings on the floor in whatever Vandy game I watched. Still, off to sit a year in Eastern Washington before suiting up for Gonzaga. I really wonder because players like Walker would've thrived under Courtney Banghart or Niele Ivey, the other two finalists for the position that White was awarded. So, we'll see how Caoch White does this year with what is really White's hand-picked team. I've got a feeling, like you two, that this is it for her. * * Interestingly, I also think that next spring is the year Niele Ivey will really be available for a full-fledged look at HC jobs, now that her son is graduating from HS in South Bend (she's a single mother). Vandy was the most visible of the the few positions she pursued. [/QUOTE]
