Kim Mulkey to LSU [merged thread]

[oldhusky]

If true, I hate to pour gasoline on the potential invasion of transfer bigs, but we recruited Gusters, and who knows what Baylor players will do now. They might follow Kim, stay put, or go elsewhere. Imagine if Smith entered the portal for example? Kim moving on is a huge change on the women's basketball landscape.

I hear from a cousin of mine in Syracuse that Q was somehow able to finagle an extra year of playing eligibility for Kim due to COVID. She will be Syracuse's point guard next year. The holdup on an announcement is due to working out the details of Kim's demand that uniforms include a jacket made from real orange peels and designed for quick removal and long-distance flinging.

Sorta like Mike Jordan. Born in Brooklyn, NY, yet he always mentions Wilmington, North Carolina. I’ve never heard him mention Brooklyn. Only the Brooklynites/ New Yorkers(Kenny Smith) use him and his likeness for bragging rights!

Or like me. I was born in Schenectady and haven't been there since I was 6 months old.

What I always thought was cool about Schenectady was their zip code- 12345 but after GE left in late 80's, I haven't given Schenectady much thought...

The Phillies use to have a farm team in Schenectady.

GE continues to operate in Schenectady, although they have significantly downsized their operations.

According to the USPS Zip Code locator there is no 56789 zip code.

Even though this is definitely OT Harlan Ellison, the Science Fiction writer, was famous for saying the following:

People ask me where I get my ideas. I always tell them, “Schenectady.” They look at me with confusion and I say, “Yeah, there’s this ‘idea service’ in Schenectady and every week like clockwork they send me a fresh six-pack of ideas for 25 bucks.” Every time I say that at a college lecture there’s always some schmuck who comes up to me and wants the address of the service.

"It came from Schenectady" was ultimately adopted by Barry B. Longyear for a title of a collection of his science fiction stories in the early 1980's.

I still always spell it wrong.

While you are correct that GE is much smaller in Schenectady now, they still have a decent sized campus. And I give them credit for doing I nice job preserving some very old buildings and updating them with leading edge technology and energy-efficiency upgrades.

There is a famous GE-Schenectady story regarding Jack Welch. Apparently, GE had an old building they no longer needed. The company emptied it out and mothballed it for future use some day. GE asked the city for a tax break on the building since it was no longer actually being used as a commercial enterprise. The request was denied several times. The story goes that Jack Welch eventually appealed to the city himself, pointing out GE's commitment to the area and the fact that it was holding onto the property for possible future growth. He was turned down yet again. Apparently that ticked Jack off quite a bit. In response to that denial, he had the building demolished. Then he sent a letter to the tax department pointing out that instead of receiving reduced tax revenue from the building, the city was receiving none. Way to make a point!

Well, let's not forget Schenectady, but let's get this back on track. If Kim takes over LSU, how soon would it take for them be a final four contender? I'd say 3 years or less.

2-3 years. Gonna take multiple recruiting classes but the transfer portal could help sooner than later. LSUs roster needs to be overhauled, talent wise that is.

It is now Saturday...and I have read nothing about K.M. leaving Baylor.

You should go read the Baylor message board; sure seems like she is leaving . . .

Mulkey overplayed her hand. It did not go well. In fact, it went badly.

She has the offer from LSU but keeps pushing back the timetable on making a final commitment. Can mean that she is still negotiating some items. Can mean that she is rethinking a rash “heat of the moment” decision.

But she faces serious fence mending to stay at Baylor. Bells cannot be unrung.

ESPN reports that an announcement may be made early next week.
In other news, the sun will rise tomorrow.

It is rumored Kim closed onto her new house

That mansion is not big enough for her ego. Nice try, though . . .

It’s not big enough for her wardrobe.......

LSU makes it official, wheels in motion, lets see what happens

Wait what? I am not sure if you know this but there is now this thing called a “transfer portal” and Kim has been as effective or more so than almost anyone else in WCBB...just sayin’

Can Kim hurry up so we can attempt to get Cardoso?
