Vic Schaefer to Texas

I’m concerned with GG as she has been out of coaching for a while. I’ve also heard she didn’t do the work she needed in recruiting. Outside of her being a career assistant someone mentioned she was good cop to Coach Schaefer’s bad cop. That often doesn’t translate to being a good head coach of the same team.

There's questions with every coach right now. But let's be realistic.


Jeff probably isn't gonna take the job.

Gail has built a resume long enough to where you can easily critique her shortcomings at certain periods of time, but I still feel better with her than Mitchell

Mitchell is just not good enough for the level of play we're trying to obtain for the longterm.

Harris is a very logical choice, but we don't know if she can man the ship by herself now that all her help is gone.

And anybody else just seems either too obscure or inexperienced.....

I think GG would be a high risk hire for Mississippi State. You gotta get a sure thing in there if they're keeping all of those players. I'd love to see GG coaching again but Mississippi State is such a hot program right now that I wouldn't risk it with her. I'd target Walz, Graves, Semrau, Close, or Rueck if any will bite.

And if that's the case with Harris about being good cop, she might be best suited to follow Vic and work their magic in Austin rather than be a head coach. A lot of greats need a nicer assistant to buffer and balance out the staff. CD balances out Geno, Demoss/Holly to Pat, Niele to Muffet, etc. I mean even though Holly was an awful head coach, she sure as heck could recruit and her players really liked her. I dont doubt that Harris would make a better head coach than Holly, but it is a completely role with drastically different demands and being a great assistant doesnt translate to being a great head coach.

Don't think any of those 5 will bite, and MSU probably plans on contacting only 2 of those. Walz has already been contacted.

Players are emotional today, which is understandable. I doubt any make a 100% decision today; calmer heads will prevail and they'll wait to finalize decisions until AFTER MSU hires a new head coach.

Or maybe not.

Good girl. But she just didn't see much of an opportunity ahead given the underwhelming year she had, and not much of a chance next year to build on that.

Farewell, Chloe.
 
Has UConn ever had an Aussie? Just askin’....;)

Honestly I think she would fit the UConn system very well. She is a very cerebral player.

She'd be a great fit at UCONN IMO. Stellar shooter, physical player and would pair well alongside ONO as a stretch 4.
 
Interesting about UConn. I know UConn has a question mark as to the last starting spot between Williams, ONO, Bueckers, and Westbrook. If Chloe is immediately eligible, you might have found your missing Power Forward.
 
I really liked Bibby but she has not been the same since the ACL injury. I believe she has physicallyrecovered and If she can recover mentally from the injury she will make any team a strong player.

Did it ever fully come out why Mitchell's team disintegrated on him a few years ago?

He's rebounded, but that was pretty significant exodus.
 
This may be obvious, but Bibby is a grad transfer, correct?

(If she wants to play 15-20 off the bench, she'd be a pretty good fit for her former rival).

It isn’t certain yet but the understanding is that she is close. She is finishing her third year.
 
Bibby played some great games for us and was very strong prior to her injury. She showed signs last season she was still recovering yet was a solid rebounder and defender. I will miss her in Maroon but figure she will be one of a few who leave us during this transition.

She and Andi (AEH) are best friends so I'm sure she has gotten some pretty one-sided stories from her about Geno. I don't think Chloe is going to be the player she was before the knee injury. She looked like a shell of her former self this past year.

Last starting spot between Williams, ONO, Bueckers and Westbrook? Who are the starting four?

I think that Chloe Bibby would fit extremely well for UCONN and as others have pointed out, she is immediately eligible.

Well she did have unprecedented success at another MSU ;)

How do we know she's immediately eligible? She's a true junior, and I've seen no report on whether she's completing her degree this semester.

Haven't seen it anywhere, but I'd expect she is a grad transfer considering players rarely transfer after their junior season to sit out a full year. She's also older than the rest of her classmates, being born in June '98. So if she sits a year and then plays in 21-22, she'll be almost 24 when she completes her eligibility.

Agree, we do not know her degree status. I would think AEH would be thinking her status as she and Bobby were tight.
 
I would expect Walz to be high on MSU's list but who knows.
