Nikki McCray's ears are probably still ringing from all the booing I fired her way when she was at Tennessee. But if she is indeed on board at ODU, I'm suddenly a big fan of hers. She is exactly the kind of coach this program needs. She has a wonderful resume -- outstanding collegiate background, pro experience, good recruiter and experience under a winning major college coach and program. I only wish this hire had been made before all the transfers and decommittments. To Coach Barefoot's credit, she had a super recruiting year. Too bad those recruits have mostly scattered. Maybe there are some uncommitted players out there. But I think Coach Nikki will do well with the players still on the roster. They can't do any worse than the past couple of years.
