“We have no interest in rebuilding,” Close said. “We really are intent on reloading. My responsibility is to adjust in the landscape that I’m given and to lead well no matter what. But the reality is, I have to do that whether I like it or not.”​

One wonders what are the financial constraints to Close's rebuilding project. UCLA Athletics is a financial dumpster fire, seemingly second only to Rutgers in the BIG. UCLA Athletics reported a department-wide operating deficiency of ($21,632,153) for fiscal year 2025. While all WBB programs lose money, UCLA WBB lost the most money ($7,683,011) in fiscal year 2025 of the 16 public schools in the BIG (excluding USC and Northwestern).

Every coach says "we're gonna reload." Only one I've seen do it, and she isn't in Los Angeles.

Top six players moving on is much more likely to become a midseason press conference after falling to 12-5 "we always knew it was going to be tough to replace last year's seniors..."
