Please pray with me for the safety of my family, friends, former players and their families and so many that are dear to me as my hometown region, a place that I passionately love, is going to be severely threatened in the next 24 hours. 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼

Talked to a recruit today who found out she needed to have surgery. Found out so much about her character. Instead of trying to hide the info which unfortunately happens- she called and explained it all. I hope our paths cross again- she’s got a bright future!💥💥

Really hope Moon Ursin is a big part of the story tonight. Signed with Baylor, worked, waited her turn, didn’t transfer, seemed to be a great teammate, didn’t leave, playing, starting now and is an integral part of Baylor’s success. #example #teamkid #youdonthavetotransfer🤷🏼♀️

Building a winner takes many things but you can’t do it without trust and discipline. Two of the most difficult things today. Discipline to not do what YOU want but what the team needs from you. Trust earned by showing up EVERY day with no excuses. #discipline #trust #BIG👏🏼

Loved watching the intense play of @LSUwbkb @GamecockWBB tonight! Great game for our sport. Love having @KimMulkey back in OUR state. It has made us all better. She’s got support that she’s earned from years of incredible work- a lot of which came from right here in LA.
