Message: [QUOTE="SECbbfan24, post: 3410941, member: 9360"] I have complained about Nikki and deservedly so but Nikki has done a good job this year. We still have holes like always have in the past offensively but we are closing games out better which is the biggest difference this year along with Pointer taking matters into her own hands. We will be a NCAAT this year but the question remains can she get out the first round? She has yet to do that in like 5 years which is completely unacceptable. That said her recruiting still IMO is not good enough as a whole to compete for SEC or national titles. Until that changes we don't come close to that. I think her system will always field competitive teams that gives teams HA's with her teams defense but against the best of the best I don't believe we have the players or offensive system overall that can score at a high level. As a coach you have to adapt, LSU shot a lot of three's her first few years but has steadily went down dramatically, primarily because of personnel reasons and she doesn't seem to like the 3 point shot much anymore. As for the SEC as a whole, SC and Miss St are your top 2 teams. Amazingly both teams have a lot of freshmen players playing big time minutes. Rest of us are going to have to deal with that the next 4 years. I feel like Kentucky is a good gritty team but not a great team. Its a one man show with Howard. Morris and Murray were big losses and they don't have that great of a supporting cast. I think next year adding Hunt, getting Edwards eligible and their other injured freshmen back changes that team a lot. A&M similarly, is extremely dependent on Carter. She is what makes that team a top 15 team. Without her they are just a decent team. Tennessee, I feel like they still play Holly ball but with less play makers this year (No Westbrook, Collins, Jackson or Green). They cannot take care of the ball for crap but they play overall more sound defense. I thought they were pretty good against UCONN defensively but they are still stagnant on offense and they are careless as hell taking care of the ball. Harper's recruiting remains a big question (sounds familiar...) A lot can happen the next 10 games so who knows where everyone ends up. [/QUOTE]
