Yes, word is she is burned out on coaching and is looking to do something else. Won't stop people who take any chance they get to blast the current staff, though.

I can see being burned out and wanting a couple years rest doing commentating, etc.
The staff has seemed to be pretty good; not great but good enough. The problems this team has comes from the HC.

So the portal is officially closed but players who entered can still sign. What does everyone think? Are we done? I feel like we need at least one more experienced solid contributor in both the post and guard positions. The freshman are very talented but they are freshman,

They were known to be after Addy Brown, but she committed to UCLA today. Unknown who else may be on the board.

Getting that Princeton guard was huge. We badly needed a vet presence to take the ball off Hannah's hands a bunch. On paper this player is better than de Jesus by a significant margin (though I doubt not compared to the level where Vanessa ended up.) We still need "physical presence." Both Cass and KK were MAJOR physical presence. Freshmen CAN be but that's rare. Abii seems close.

They better not be done

depends on how many of the freshman are "hits" and can enter the rotation right away. But typically Ivey underestimates how many players she needs and ends up short. Injuries, etc.

I'd really like to see one more transfer or maybe an international signee.

I'd like more than one more.
