Truth is no amount of NIL will make a team win games. The coach has to coach those players and be a good "in game" coach and the players have to execute.
I keep seeing folks referring to not having NIL money before. If that were the case, then that was a problem. NIL money and support from the AD should not be based on who the coach is.
If there is an increase in NIL, I believe it is probably more related to players like Clark and Reece who...
Regarding social media - I don't follow along that much on those other platforms - I just watch for relevant posts on here. But I do know that is how most young adults today communicate and build the influence that sparks their success including increasing their exposure for NIL purposes. That...
The success of this coming up season will depend upon the portal. They have one now - I believe they still need what 5 or 6 more.
Sustained success will depend upon getting and keeping great players out of high school to create consistency from year to year. We really will not know how well...
To be fair the comparison is happening both ways with the opposite view that the new staff can do no wrong and the prior staff did everything wrong mentality.

These ladies are individuals with their own goals. They will do what is best for them based on their goals, which may or may not completely...
You just want either to be right or for her to fail - really sad. She wasn't the coach that you disliked very much but I see you can't separate the players from that.
Understood, but this mentality ignores the human part of the relationship and if you look at the first clip when she met with the team, CKC was ALL ABOUT supporting them in all aspects of their life. Was the truth that she will only support them if they can make her successful?
The players...
And honestly if a coach can just "fire a player" and say "enter the portal", then one can't blame the players for asking for monetary guarantees.
What has made this so easy is the instant play next year part of this. Prior to that both players and coaches took the recruiting aspect seriously...
I suppose they could tell a player there may not be a place on the team for her - but it is a player's choice as to if they enter the portal.
From what I have read on here, she will graduate this semester. She could make the decision to start her after college career.
Truth is we'll never...
