All the assistants should be let go. A new head coach, especially one with a lot to prove, doesn't need assistants from the old regime looking over her shoulder or questioning things that differ from what Kellie did. Keeping assistants, especially the one in charge of recruiting, should be sent packing. She doesn't need Tennessee's way, it has to be her way.
Thank u smart Connie. Sorry for ur Ines loss 😢
 
Did I say she was? Still doesn’t change the fact that they have caused issues at three schools. If they keep quiet, maybe you bring her on but I don’t know if she is going to suddenly make this team better.
Did they cause issues at MSST? I thought the younger two transferred because of the coaching change, and Purcell pretty much begged Annie to stay one more year.
 
This could be the result of Geno trying to deal with a 15 player roster. Both players as previously noted played very few minutes. They are very good teammates.
They were down to 9 players and only really played 7. Ines and Amari merely got off the bench even in blowouts. Ines was probably not Div 1 ready Amari was a top 10 recruit who never showed improvement over 3 years and Geno didn’t trust, even when they were desperate for size.

I could see keeping the 1 best from Harper's staff, bringing the 1 best from the Marshall staff, and bringing in the best available from outside the program.

Aislynn was there with Annie that year that things blew up between them and Rickea. If I remember correctly, Annie and Rickea almost got in a fight in the locker room and they were still talking on social media about what team needed to do. I’m sure he begged Annie to stay bc she was the one with the most talent.

I disagree, she needs someone that has ties to the '25 class and beyond. Also the 2 we lost fits her system to a tee. Long athletic guards that can shoot and handle the ball. She won't sniff them without Sam. They're huge for her to get the ball rolling in her direction.
 
What are her other options?

Bring the entire Marshall staff - not good
Hire her husband - not good
3 outside hires - she doesn't have the connections to get high quality here

All those options suck
Tbh she may have big connections we don’t know

Annie more Talented than Rickea? Give me a break. Annie will fade away just like many other very good basketball players have while Rickea has a long career in the WNBA. Annie Hayes is not nearly as talented nor never has been nearly as talented as Rickea Jackson and her attitude even if she had the talent would turn off those in the WNBA. You would probably have their awful parents trying to tell WNBA coaches how much and how they should play their princess. That is a real thing and caused more harm than good for their daughters.

Ummm, I meant Annie was the most talented out of the Hayes sister..,,

How many total Hayes were there? I thought two of them already graduated, and yet here's two more?
The little Sister, Acacia was supposed to be pretty talented as well. Then again she left WKU in 2022 and not sure what happened with her from there.

That's exactly the order I'd have also. We only need Olsen, Chen , and Scherr. The reason I say Scherr is because she could play the 3 and rebound. I would take HVL , but I think Scherr would be a better fit, jmo.
Oh yeah I like Scherr as a team player way better than HVL but I won’t deny HVLs credibility over her

Unless Wynn learns to shoot 3s, she is not ideal for what Caldwell wants on offense, and there is no way you could ever play Cooper and Wynn at the same time. You can hide some of Cooper's shooting deficiencies if you have three other great shooters out there at the same time.

Cooper is a great fit on defense, but her shooting is a very tough thing to overcome. Still, I think she is talented enough that it is worth scheming around.

The Darby's may need to look around. Edie might be a better fit than Tess.
Agree mostly, and I think Avery will thrive in the new system. She’s quick, rebounds, and can shoot. I think we really need a mobile post or two, Jillian does not like to play that position, and it shows, plus she is not good at passing or dribbling.
