Baylor next year

Got Mulk, your post is correct but I am glad you have Mulk. I would not want her.

 

[SoonerNorm]

I would rather have a muscular talented big than a skinny talented big.

I'm not a believer in size giving you and edge down low with the exception of BG which that kind of player doesn't come around often. Talent and positioning can make you a force in the paint, just like Nina who is 5'11"!! She has a knack of always knowing where the ball is and gravitating towards it.

Recruiting is key but more important is being able to coach those talents and get them to believing in the greater good of a "team". You have to be able to corral those players and give them a reality check. Kim knows how to get the best out of her players and that's where Sherri falls behind.

Let's assume that Kim had lost Sims to an ACL, and Sherri had had Whitney for the past four years. It's tough to lose your leader.

To each his/her own........Kim does say and do things that drive me crazy, BUT I do respect her an I'm glad she is at Baylor. What she has done for the program and University is remarkable!!

How does it make you feel when the national media condemns your coach for her ethics? Michelle Voepel and the Washington Post did a number on her.

Basically it comes down to the fact that with success comes people across the board picking you apart. Yes, she has made mistakes but you cannot deny that she's a winner! How many elite coaches in sports have not had some hiccups along the way to National Championships?? The expectations on Kim now are tremendous cuz as our intro video says, "We EXPECT to win!"

All of her sideline antics are used as motivational tools to spark or fuel her team and for the most part are successful. At home games the crowd gets into it and the noise level causes turnovers and players feed off of that energy. Almost every coach in America will try things to motivate their team, except Sherri. She hardly ever leaves her seat and maybe her team needs to see something to light a fire under their butts and you could win a few!!

I could care less what 1 ESPN columnist/analyst and a paper thinks of Kim cuz the rest of the nation outside of OU has much respect for her.

At lease Sherri never acted like this

Actually, the nation has a lot of respect for Geno, Pat Summit, Muffet McGraw, and Tara. But, there isn't much respect for Kim. Her recruiting tactics did not receive rave reviews, and I think most people cheer for Kim to lose. There is a different attitude toward Muffett or Geno or Pat.

Kim has created what some might call an "outlaw" program, and she has sold that to her team. I think the day is coming to an end. A couple of losing seasons, and I don't think Kim will be able to recruit.

That's the key! Point guard! Sims is the best by far and as good as Griner was, Sims was what made them go. Sims alone has taken Hypocrite U where they are this year and made all the others on that team look better. The best teams pretty much have the best PGs, there are exceptions, but in general they do. osu's success is due to Bias, not Donohoe, not Martin, not Suttles. Tech almost beat osu the other day because they had Amber Battle. Johnson, at Hypocrite U is good but they will be a different team next year.

I just knew you couldn't stay away from this thread.

:ez-roll:

I tried!

I don't know where Hypocrite U will get their scoring from next year. They will have nothing like Griner/Sims of the last 5 years. I'm sure they will be good but I don't see them near the top next year. Skeletor is at her best when she can play the "poor me" card.

 

[got mulk??]

We will be a different team next year without Odyssey just like we were this year without BG. Niya Johnson has grown a lot from last year and even though she doesn't score, she distributes the ball very well leading the conference in assists. These players seem to pick up things fast and have turned a few heads already this season. We will be in top tier of conference next year just wait and see.

In 2005, we had no superstar like BG or Sims and we all know how that season turned out.......NC!!!!!

In 2005, you had: 1. a perfect fit of types, and 2. sophia, maybe the best unknown that became known. In 2006, you had three starters back, and OU won all three games.

Baylor will be top tier no question but I don't think they will win the big 12 next year. IMO it's Texas or WV

Niya also leads the nation in assist/turnover ratio. Wright and Small are very fast and good shots from outside or on the move. Together, they may make up for much of the Sims/Robertson combination that BU is losing. All they need is permission from Kim to drive to the basket. Inside, everyone will be back. Add the incoming players, and Baylor will be right in the hunt again.

 

[sybarite]

I think that Baylor thought the same thing in 2006 and proceeded to lose three games to OU.

 

[got mulk??]

With Kim we will always be near the top, but I do realize that there are better teams with more talent. This season some of those teams have not produced while we have thrived. So really next season I could see 4-5 teams winning the conference. Should be fun!!

 

[sybarite]

I can see four.

Baylor West Virginia Oklahoma and Texas can all win the big 12 next year. Should be fun Just imagine if A&M and Nebraska was still in the big 12. To think we almost got Louisville.

The Big 12 is still good but it would be better with Nebraska and A&M. Would love to have Louisville too.
