Cooper and her programs also collected NCAA violations like trading cards, so maybe that's not a good example either.

Yeah, I was gonna say.....her stats might not be utterly trash, so she exceeded the other 2 gals in that way, but with her school-jumping, the allegations, etc., her coaching status never approached her status as a star player.

Who would have ever guessed that hiring someone with zero experience to coach a major conference program would be a bad idea?

I didn't know about the NCAA violations. That's disappointing but I still think Cooper is a better xxx and ooo's coach-teacher than Swoopes and Thompson.

mzone, it sounds like Michigan has the inside track! 😀
Kid must be pretty special to attract so much attention at such an early age!

While Michigan didn't win the Big 10 due to a technicality of playing one fewer game, does the return of super seniors Brown and Kiser along with others have them in place to be the favorite in the league? It would say a lot about the program's rise if they could somehow lose Hillmon and still be projected to finish high. Kiser, Brown, Phelia is a strong group plus I saw they added their first mcdonald's all american via transfer.
The main thing I noticed is how tall they will be. The super seniors are Kiser at 6'3 and Brown at 6'1. All 3 incoming freshmen are over 6'0 including 1 6'3, the Oregon State transfer is 6'0. I count 9 players 6'1 or bigger and that is in a league where the other teams don't seem very big

Very good news- last I had heard she had dipped her toe in the transfer portal!

I’d heard the same but right around the same time I’d heard she was accepted to grad school. I’m so glad she chose/KBA approved to stay on!

I’m always terrible being objective about these things. I saw how much Indiana added (including Parrish from OR and Scalia from MN) and how much Iowa has coming back (Goodman will be returning from her ACL, Czinano playing her 5th year and CMU’s All MAC guard Molly Davis was added) and figured it would be tough for Michigan to match this coming season. We shall see!

What do you all think about Coquese getting a second chance in the B1G? How many players will she end up with on the roster in year 1? Not only is she following a legend, but she’s a very late hire after a year of turmoil at RU. She’s getting decent money, but I wonder if it’s worth it.

I think its worth it for her because Rutgers has had a lot of success historically. She is pretty lucky to get such a good power 5 job so soon after getting fired because Oklahoma wasn't good when she went there and Notre Dame was good this year but not last year. What sticks out is how her last few years at Penn State went. In other words she could have stayed at Notre Dame for 5 more years but who is to say she would get a better job than Rutgers? Maybe she would get a job like say TCU or some other school that hasn't won.
How many players will she get? She should be able to fill out a roster because there are surely many transfers available who would love to play in the Big Ten but it does not mean she will get to fill out the roster with Big Ten caliber players.

I'd say that she's a good choice; she's definitely got the head coaching experience. Yeah, she didn't attain star status at Penn State, but she did have some excellent seasons, and 12 years at a Big Ten school certainly taught her something.
I liked her enough at Penn St., but following Rene Portland was a bit onerous, and she brought the Nittany Lions past that. Now, she's taking over at another place left in disarray again (albeit for very different reasons). Who knows? Maybe her experience will prove helpful to turning that around.
