I feel we have a Coach that has the ability to sell a vision to some of the best Women's High School Basketball players in the Country and will ultimately build our program back to our glory days. Congratulations Coach McCray-Penson, your early recruiting success gives us all confidence and hope that the Lady Monarchs will be back.

Welcome aboard to our new Cub Ajah Wayne.

RE: Womens's Basketball recruiting
Another great signing from coach Nikki. we have good players on our squad, albeit not many players. if anything, Karen was a good recruiter but a terrible coach with no coaching instinct. These girls just need a true x and o coach who can guide them through basketball. Karen ball always consisted of one scoring player(Jennie Simms and Shae Kelley) and a cast of 5 pt players. I remember seeing an interview with Simms and another player, and the other player looked so dejected and brainwashed into saying that the plan was to always get the ball into Simms hands at every oppurtunity. It was as if there werent any other options or players on this team. Hoping coach McCray can do something miraculous by saving this program and staying long enough, when the P5 comes for her, to build a bright future for this team.

I don't understand this euphoria about these commitments it can't be true. Coach Nikki is a Wood Selig hire and all we've heard for years is Wood is incompetent, Wood effs up every hire. What am I missing?

Wish we had a sarcasm emoji...

I think this is one of the FEW if not the only hire most people have been supportive of.

He knocked this hire out of the park for sure but please tell me how awesome his other hires have been aside from Finwood.

Its about damn time he made a good hire too because it seems as if most of the fan base is over his lame duck hires. Maybe he realized he was on the clock with his job I dont know. We'll see how big his balls are at the end of this coming mens basketball season.

Outside of something egregious happening in the middle of the season, I don't feel anything will occur this upcoming post-season.

You might be right, but without an NCAA bid this year, if we don't change course JJ probably won't be the only one feeling pressure. As a fan, I always root for the Monarchs, but its time for the legit post-season again. We fired Jeff Capel for less, though the recruits he had signed were worse than what JJ has coming in, so I had less hope that he could turn it around than I do with JJ.

You all managed to bring JJ into the women's recruiting thread. I'm not even mad. I'm impressed.

Coach McCray just received a commitment from another 2018 guard,
Amaya Register. Filling up nicely, hope we get some quality bigs to go along with them as well.

Based on what I consider profound success in Coach Mccray's early recruiting accomplishments, can't wait to find out who this new "Cub" is.

We offered Aaliyah Pitts '20 from Woodbridge HS

Also shouldn't official ODU accounts not be interacting with recruits on twitter?

Here's the updated rules:

According to the new NCAA rule, “An athletics department staff member may take actions (for example: ‘like,’ ‘favorite,’ ‘tag,’ etc.) on social media platforms that indicate approval of content on social media platforms.”

Continuing with the new rule, “Coaches or staff members can also share articles about prospects as long as they do not ‘tag’ or mention the player’s name. They also can retweet a player’s post, then address the post in a separate tweet, again without mentioning the prospect’s name.”

The NCAA stated that college coaches still cannot tweet directly to prospects or retweet anything with a direct comment. Coaches can subtweet recruits, but they can’t tweet directly at them. Coaches can only share, under a policy that’s commonly being described as “click, don’t type.”
