No. Have you ventured over to the Tennessee, South Carolina, LSU, and tu forums? It's much worse and they are far better than we are currently.

if this was the case, then why is the AD and owners of this site pretty much in bed together

You got us, we're the reason we turn it over 20 times a game and finished dead last in the conference.

It's year 4, only one recruit from high school has stayed with her, every single other one has entered the portal and left. That's 15 portal departures in 3 years. Transfers can see the instability, they can see Joni standing with her arms crossed as other teams go on 20-0 runs while we don't call a timeout. They see us out of shape every game. They see us make no adjustments as teams pick us apart. They see no concept of X's and O's. They see everyone leaving. They see the empty crowd. They see a coach on the hot seat. They see that they can't see our games because our only chance of playing in national tv is when we play a good team. They see our players body language when we turn it over or get 3's made in our faces over and over. They see a bench with more people in dresses and ties than in a basketball uniform. They see a coach and a person who chose not to be by the teams best player on draft night because she wanted to go with someone she coached for a year over 3 years ago because that was her chance to be on national television. Recruits see that. Parents see that. Families see that.

Nothing to you OP because you offer great insight and posts throughout the season. But no we do not affect recruiting. This is a message board with a handful of posters which may reach 5 posters during a game. Whereas other fanbases have hundreds and hundreds of dedicated posters who are ready to burn the arena down after a loss. We have no impact on the program I've met athletes on campus who have no idea that a forum like this exists.

Yeah it's obvious most of us are upset with how things go. Look around, no one else cares about Aggie Women's basketball like we do. We all want to win. It's not fun seeing us be the laughing stock of the country. It's not fun being blown out every game, and it's most certainly not fun when we're trying our hardest to find 10 games on a schedule we can win. We just want to see us succeed.

Blair is completely wrong? Hmm.,,

He may not be completely wrong but it's not going to change and it happens at every single school so stop with the excuses and produce. If you can't overcome negative press and negative comments in an WBB forum, you're not a great coach.

Only asked because Blair said it and wanted to know how folks thought. Back to lurking.

Here is Gary first 4 years

9-19
16-15
23-9
25-7 (tied for conf. title)

That's progress over time. The fans can see a change for the better. support increases.

I give that credit to Gary, not the fans.

Unfortunately, success and fan support go hand and hand. We had years of success with GB and still never had the support that Tenn and South Carolina had/have. They have had YEARS and YEARS of being at the top, so that certainly helps.

I agree with you, though. I wish someone would post figures of what figures we are working with in terms of NIL dollars. I want to see how it compares to our other successful non-revenue sports. Is the men's budget larger? If so, how and why?

---

If we compare to S. Carolina we'll never match up.

But hey lets look at TCU, look at their turnaround. Is that because they are spending more than us or do they have a better coach.

I doubt any mens program is getting more money except baseball.

But if you're a NIL donor, why would you give a dime to Joni

aggiedrjdub said:

I have the same questions and I agree with you. I just keep hearing she hasn't been given enough NIL money, and I don't have any numbers to know if that's true or untrue.

Gary Blair was special for sure. He turned around a program that was literally on life support, and with NO NIL money, turned us into conference champions in year 4.

---

I'm sure she'd like UCONN or USC NIL budget. But we're not giving that.

We probable wouldn't have gave that much if Gary was still here.

It brings up a good question. Who's job is it to solicit NIL. Trev or the coaches?

So is Trev holding the money back or is Joni not beating the donor bushes

All i know if i was BMA, i'd laugh if they wanted me to give dime to soccer or WBB right now. I'd say for what, to piss money down the drain.

This is a dumb post. We want Taylor out. I'd gladly talk more **** if it accelerates this process. She is one of the worst hires in our women's sports history

Well she's had 16 girls leaver her program and enter the portal. Either no one wants to play for her or she's lazy and not worried about filling up her roster. She also said she's comfortable with only 11 girls, but I'm sure that was just an excuse for not filling up a roster. We're at 9 right now.

She's ok with 11 because then when she has a few injuries she can cry "we only 7 scholarship players" as her excuse for sucking.

A&M has more women on campus than most colleges have total students. If she can't find 3 or 4 Walk-On's to fill out the roster by October 15th, then she is not really trying. And how many bench assistants and staff do we actually need if we can't field a normal D-1 roster?
