This was definitely a power move by Molly. This is one of the best coaching staffs in all of D2 with 2 former D2 head coaches on staff.
Molly returns all but one from last year including her top 8 players featuring 2 All Americans and 3 others who were All Conference.
Newcomers include Kelsey Winfrey, a transfer from Mizzou that had limited playing time playing behind players like the WNBA's Sophie Cunningham. She is very skilled and athletic and will thrive in Molly's system.
Freshman Alana Findlay has the potential to be a starter in my opinion. She is a strong athletic scorer and a quick leaper.
All the newcomers are quick and will add depth to a defense that led the nation with over 1100 forced turnovers.
This will be a fun team to watch.

I think this could lead to maybe something bigger
There's no doubt in my mind that Molly has tracked the path of former Emporia State head coach Brandon Scheider. Put up a heck of a run at ESU, parlayed that into the HC job at Stephen F. Austin, parlayed that into the HC job at Kansas. Molly absolutely can make that similar path.

I also heard she plans on competing for a national championship all three years because of the quality returners and incoming talent already signed.

I do have zero doubt she's making plenty.

A buddy sent me this. And Mike, you could be right.
Look at bottom right corner image.
KU Women's team has not been good for several years.
This picture means nothing, but its still fun to speculate.Last edited by crazznewt; 09-18-2019, 02:08 PM.
