If that's the case then anything short of an undefeated season and a 30 point win in the national title game will be an epic failure.
But practice and the season have not started yet. Wait till they start playing games I watched some of their games last year and there were times you could see issues between players wanting the ball and not getting it because another player wanted the spotlight. It will be interesting to see Kim handles any issues between players because there will be some as you have some real strong egos.
There may be big egos on the team but when Kim's ego is exponentially bigger, problem handled.
You can't argue with the success she's achieved. Personally I can't stand her style or methods, but she's a flat out great coach and seems to get the most out of her players. This superteam will definitely test her ability to maintain positive team chemistry and keep egos in check. I kind of have my doubts, this thing just seems set up perfectly for some serious fall-apart drama. Reese wasn't even the best player on her team in the title game, much less the best player on the court, and she's completely bulldozed the rest on the publicity front. Will the new additions, who are used to being the queens themselves, put up with it? We will see.
I wasn't slamming Kim as much as I was praising her control of others. She's not large but she's in charge.
Plus, Maryland has stricter academic requirements that LSU don’t care about as much.
While I mostly agree with you, in this case it has been well documented that this player did not qualify for many national awards because of her GPA. But apparently she doesn’t even need it or care about it much because of how much NIL she is getting. I wouldn’t care about academics much either if I was her TBH.
NIL $$$ from college won't last her forever. I hope she plays things smart because that kind of short-sightedness is how a lot of athletes end up broke.
Agree 100%. She will probably be making millions for at least a few more years and then mid to high 6 figures for a while after that. So I'm guessing she will clear about 10 to 15 million when it is all said and done.
