    She probably has lots of experience being his 'baby sitter' so it just makes sense that she comes along!!!!! I am glad Mikki is back in Ruston, but not so sure about hiring a 23 year old???? Like a buddy of mine said, that's what 31 yr old AD's do, I guess!

    I just hope it works out for everybody!

    Yep. I really appreciate his optimism on here. As we all know, there are too many times that its a LOT OF WORK to be a Tech fan. Y'all know what I'm saying...

    I liked the press conference and I like him. But I also liked Holtz press conference and think he is a good guy as well . . .

    I do like the hire though.

    1. Mickie DeMoss, enough said!
    2. Leon and Pat, refer to #1
    3. He will recruit big time players I am convinced of this! Thats all he knows!
    4. I always knew Pat had great respect for us. Tyler reinforced that today! She recruited, coached and worked to beat us!
    5. Womens budget has a chance to get a major bump in donations! He is connected!!!!! Refer back to #3
    6. We can rebuild this thing! Carolina struggled after Dean, UCLA after Wooden and Bama football after the Bear! They all recovered because of one thing : Tradition and the pride to uphold it! Summitt has the understanding of that!
    7. He remembers coming here as a child when 7-8000 strong were in the TAC! It left an impression!
    8. No more risk taken here than if we would have hired a big time assistant or some 30 something that had won games a few yrs at some Mid major! LaTech is not a Mid major womens program, it is top tier and Summit is as close to getting that mentality as we could get!
    9. The hire is done, so if you must damn it then throw away your allegiance to Tech and damn it to your hearts content! Me for one would rather see 8000 packed in the TAC not as the result of some promotion but because UCONN is in town and our girls are DAMN good!

    Thanks for listening and Go Tech!
    Excellent points. This all makes me want to watch the Lady Techsters again.

    Think we definitely hit a homerun on this one. When we fired Spoon I wasn't expecting us to get somebody who I thought could recruit and build a winning program. He has me changing my mind. He's not got a lot of experience, but the reward is gigantic. I don't see much downside!

    At least The Kid was still gainfully employed when we hired him...

    There is something to that!

    You gave me chills with your post. I can't believe work kept me going for so long, but hope to have a regular present...even if I post a few time a month. I'm glad McClelland took a "risk" with this hire and with in a direction that no one probably though he would go in.
