What? Who's we and what was the thought?Guess that confirms what we thought about Shea's sudden departure from the tourney, except it was Vandy not Oklahoma.

I think she pulls an Adia Barnes and makes it work.Shea, baby, hubby with job in the east, Vandi in Tenn. does anyone else see this as a logistical problem? I think she has what it takes to be a head coach, if she goes I wish her all the luck. I just wonder how her family dynamics enter into this possibility.
It's really difficult to put a Vandy degree in the same class as a Stanford or Duke degree. Stanford, the Harvard of the West! Duke, the Stanford of the East!
Barnes was able to get McDonald to follow her to Arizona. Will Paige follow Shea?I think she pulls an Adia Barnes and makes it work.
Years ago I read neither Stanford or Vanderbilt compromised their admissions standards for football, and therefore not other sports. That was cited as a reason VU football always struggles. On the other hand, Duke, Northwestern, and Notre Dame did. Don't know if that still holds.that's a tough one.................Wisconsin is a good school academically but it's not Vanderbilt..........on the other hand if Vanderbilt is as academically selective with it's athletes as Stanford is, than it's both a blessing and a curse when it comes to recruiting.........
Sadly yes. Azzi too. In fact, the entire Uconn team will be transferring to Vanderbilt. Not Dorka though; she doesn't know Shea.Barnes was able to get McDonald to follow her to Arizona. Will Paige follow Shea?

Thanks for posting. It's been a real pleasure over the past 20+ years to see VU catch and pass ND. We all know such rankings are to be taken with a shaker of salt, but still.Not that the U.S. News ranking is necessarily the best, but here are selected rankings:
1. Princeton
5. Yale
6. Stanford
9. (Tie) Northwestern
12. Duke
14. (Tie) Vanderbilt
16. (Tie) Rice
19. Notre Dame
20. UCLA
21. Emory
22. Cal Berkeley
23. Georgetown
35. Georgia Tech
41. Tulane
Interesting tweet.
Absolutely. Vanderbilt's a lifelong dream for Bueckers.Barnes was able to get McDonald to follow her to Arizona. Will Paige follow Shea?
Above and beyond, you all are missing the point. Aari didn't follow Adia Barnes when she got the Arizona job. After the next year, Washington Head Coach Mike Neighbors departed for Arkansas. That's when Aari left Washington (and chose Arizona).Absolutely. Vanderbilt's a lifelong dream for Bueckers.
Not gonna happen.Here is something crazy to consider... Just read that Sue might retire after this Olympics and WNBA season.... she comes to coach at UCONN.... Then when Diana retires... she comes to UCONN.... then a year or two later Geno and Chris get ready to retire... with DT and Sue at the helm....
Maya and Tina come on to be assistants....
Interesting tweet.
Garrick was an assistant at Vandy from 2009-2015, I assume that will help recruitingDidn't know Tom Garrick was married to Ralph. I remember him from his days at URI

I remember many years ago the columnist from Manchester that passed away said it that one day Jen would be taking over the UConn program when Geno stepped down. My brain isn't working this morning and can't remember his name.I can see UConn hiring Jenn Rizzotti as an assistant coach if she wants it. I just hope Jen won’t be the heir of the program.
Hmm. If this all does happen, they will need a guards position coach.
Could they pull Nykesha Sales out of Florida and away from the beat em up coach at UCF?
There is also a former Husky coaching a pretty good highschool team in Connecticut by the name of Maria.
Those are options I'll throw out.
Losing Shea will be a huge loss on the recruiting front. Somehow I don’t see Geno, CD, or jamell all that interested in spending their summers on the AAU circuit. Hopefully they find a young energetic coach. This will really hurt recruiting.
