You can’t. But if Nikki could win around 8 SEC games a year, don’t see why Kim couldn’t win a game or two more.
With Nicki. Teams like Texas Tech, Clemson, Tulane. Etc would swing either way.
Yes but it goes both ways just ask MSST WBB fans.
I feel for y'all I really do. LSU had a great thing going in the mid 2000's and it fell apart quickly. Van and Nikki just weren't great down here. It takes a while to get it back sometimes. Van recruited well but was way past his prime as a coach. Nikki could not recruit to save her life. Just got to hire the right coach.... I know easier said than done.
I agree. Specifically I’m not completely on the Coach J Taylor bandwagon yet. Her record has been too up and down over the years.
Especially when a new coach takes over a program. Playing an "ultra soft" non-conference schedule has always been Mulkey's forte. It works for her, so how can anyone criticize it? Playing a string of Twinkes and cupcakes would not work for most teams. LSU went from unranked at the beginning of the season to number 19 at 11-1.
If I were an LSU fan, it would bother me because of a lack of interesting games.Especially when a new coach takes over a program.

I had a feeling that Mulkey would come in and turn that program around immediately, she did. She'll get the same high quality recruits at LSU she did at Baylor. Imagine how good LSU will be when she gets all of her own players in there. I'm not right all of the time, but I was on this one. LSU will be a very tough out come March.
Beat me to it. Agreed. This program will be in the final four sooner than later. She’s not gonna miss out on Mikaylah Williams, I can tell you that. I’m impressed.
I am not sure we are top 10, talent wise especially we arent on the same level of a lot of other teams. I think its a solid top 15 team who plays collectively well as a group. That said, its amazing what coaching can do in 1 year. 9-13 to 14-1 in one offseason. It would have been amazing if we still had Moon Ursin but it is what it is.
It would be amazing if she can grab her and Sammie Wagner together and build around that. I use to be worried about landing Williams but I feel they have made a lot of strides over these past few months. Winning the way they have and having such success early obviously will be a big draw to recruits. Its exciting to think what the team will look like with her players.
I do want the record to reflect my unbridled enthusiasm for this hire and the program outlook. However admittedly I was not expecting this level of success to start the SEC season, especially against this type competition.
Before conference play started I thought 2-1 was the best case scenario. I don't see us beating SC but I am sure they will play hard. Kim will get them fired up and I'm sure the PMAC will be packed like crazy. I worry about our post play against a team like SC.
Yeah our post play is definitely gonna be a spot to circle. Defensively I’m not worried much. Boston will score. But if not in foul trouble. Aifuwa will make it hard. Boston jump shot hurt us more than her in the paint.
Does Kim have some connection to the LSU baseball team?****
I didn't know LSU did this for Coach Blair but that was great to see. He is a class act. Glad they did something special to honor his last season coaching.
Sorry. Wrong thread.
I know. I was joking. It was always a running joke on the various Mississippi State message boards because it seemed like they were always showing her.
It was worse as a LSU fan… they had to bring it up every game lol
I’ll give her credit that she cheers for her kid with the same demeanor as she coaches. She also is consistent with her wardrobe. I bet she was a handful at his travel ball tournaments growing up.
Mulkey is doing this and representing LSU (her suggestion). She's done this for MANY coaches for different reasons in the past. She coached against Blair for many years when A&M was in the Big 12 and respects him to great lengths.
