Trying to piggyback off the Cavinder girl's NIL stuff. A pretty smart business decision since she doesn't have a pro future.

Oh I agree, she will make a ton of money, especially at a Texas school. Just sucks we couldn't pull her in

Yea I mean this was STRICTLY a business decision. The TV coverage for Big 12 women's basketball is....well....nonexistent. Hell Texas women were a no. 1 seed this year and I would venture a guess that no one knew they were even in the tournament. I see what TCU is doing, get two very attractive players who have big national NIL deals and we'll get more coverage but that is not going to work.

Dang. Is Bowtie going to have enough chicks to field a starting roster next season?

Definitely agree

He has alot of spots to fill and alot of work to do. We lost alot of players to graduation and 5 more to the portal. He picked up a big yesterday who is from overseas and she looks pretty good, also picked up a 6'1 PG who played at Kentucky last year and South Carolina the year before, Jerkaila Jordan and Debreasha Powe are still on the team... but that's not going to be enough. He recruits well so I expect him to get some talent in the portal.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Definitely agree

Well now the other Cavinder is going back to Miami to play with her sister. The sister announced yesterday and the one that was committed to TCU for a year is now headed back to Miami. No clue if it will, but that may impact Van Lith’s decision.

Yup. Oh well.

WBB was 5 mil in the red last year, men's was 500k in the red. Thank goodness for ESPN football welfare money.

I mean you go from Louisville, KY to Baton Rouge, LA and then you are choosing between Starkville, MS or Ft. Worth, TX. Starkville was probably a bit of a culture shock to her.

Have you smelled Ft Worth?

[StarkVegasSteve]

Have you smelled Ft Worth?

I have, but there's also about a million people in Ft. Worth compared to maybe 50K in Starkville. I live in Dallas so have been to Ft. Worth plenty of times. A BUNCH of money out there.

[Commercecomet24]

Have you smelled Ft Worth?

You could Baton Rouge in there too. That place is awful.

Baton Rouge was never great and went downhill after Katrina, but it's gone from being bad to very unsafe in the last 10 years.

To be honest she didn't really look excited to be at the baseball game but I didn't want to read too much into that.

That's because these kids want to be wined and dined on recruiting visits. Not taken to a softball game to stand around. Unfortunately, you can't really take them anywhere in Starkville because there's nothing to do. I mean you can take them to one of the 19 Mexican restaurants or the 17 fast food restaurants or maybe they want to go walk around at one of the two Walmarts! I mean even the Cotton District is what two bars you can kind of comfortably walk in and the rest you're packed in like a bunch of sardines.

Starkville needs to shed the blue collar mentality and embrace being cool. Embrace the Starkvegas crap or Swag Is State. Hell yea it's corny but Ole Miss fans have one magazine saying Oxford was a cool place 20+ years ago and they've embraced it and spewed it enough times that people believe it. It's nothing more than buy in
