Nas was not very good when she arrived on campus. Today she could start for any team in the country. You can do great things with someone who is 66 or 69!

I remember her first appearance. Nas had so much raw talent and was rough around the edges. I remember saying "if only she was more physical", well we got a taste of a more physical, refined product in 2023-'24. I look forward to her fitting into the mold of an MTSU offense.

Reminds me of Rice's Nancy Mulkey from about 5 years ago. Very tall & lanky. Saw a video of her popping a 3. Doesn't appear to currently have the moves or athleticism as Boldyreva, but then again she hasn't had the coaching tutelage in our system for 4 years that Boldyreva received either.
Anticipate our coaches can help her tremendously in the post. Not sure of her total offensive & defensive capability, but who would say no to one of the handful of tallest women's centers in the US? Not me. Go Lady Raiders!

You and I don’t agree much but I don’t disagree with much here. I will say, I don’t think realignment is even close to being done though. I’ve said for a long time Bama and Michigan are going to get tired of getting the same money Vandy and Northwestern get. They will eventually blow everything up. Hopefully we have things ironed out by then but who knows if we do or do not.

It's 100000% not close to being done. I agree totally there will be a split. Who knows when, I think within the next decade, but it will happen.

CM has always said he wants us in the 2nd level. Right now that is G5. And we are absolutely the bottom conference right now of that 2nd tier. We will stay in that 2nd level unless FBS somehow splits into three. I don't see that happening, but yeah. It is possible.
I wanted MAC. Looking back I realize it was best to stay in CUSA. Without it we'd still have Stock. But I have to admit. There is a lot of me that would feel better right now if we were in a stable conference (and no one is more stable than the MAC) not filled with recent FCS jumps. Not that that is a total bad thing, but I can see conferences like CUSA being the first to be cut if it does become three levels.

So much is up in the air right now. Lawsuits, settlements, CFP. Then you've got the PAC 12 trying to make it G6 a-la P4 lite. Which they 100% are on track to being the best 2nd tier conference. How will that affect the CFP, no one knows. Are the good things we are doing too little too late? Who knows.

I would love for CM and Lee to have a sit down town hall with fans to discuss all this mess. Shine some light on their thoughts. True thoughts, not PR BS. Because MT01 is right. We don't have time to fail again. Our window is small to get FB, MBB, and other things fixed. We have it in pieces like facilities upgrades and NIL, but can't offer the whole package yet.

It also doesn’t work in G5 circles unless you’re Boise and can recruit men. There’s a bit of reality slapping folks in the face right now. I personally don’t see this style working here and have said that from the beginning. But unlike basketball where I 100% knew his style wouldn’t work here I’m only about 75% confident with the football situation, because there are more dynamics at play. That said, I also want to believe Mason is different and it’s not all just catchy one liners and win the media days. I want to believe there is substance behind his persona and that he can recruit and develop the type of people needed to match his philosophy, but that’s a)going to require recruiting unlike we’ve ever seen or been able to do here and b) definitely going to take time to figure out. Time we don’t really have. And that’s kind of the issue.

This “leadership” chose a really bad time to lock themselves in a near lifetime contract with a .500 coach and it’s now a really bad time to be taking the time to change philosophy. In three or four years most of the rest of what CFB looks like for the next 50 years is going to be coming into focus if not completely set. We just don’t have time for another failed venture from M&M.

The Lady Raiders make a big splash in the 2025 Class with the signing of 6'9" (!?) Center from Spain!

Her most recent action could be seen at the FIBA U17 Women's Basketball World Cup. Dominguez played limited time with a high ankle sprain, but there is so much to like about her potential in Insell's system!

You may notice low numbers in few games, but I'd draw the attention to her final game where she scored 16 points in 18 minutes (8/11 shooting) in her final game against Mexico. Spain plays 5 out which keeps her out of the paint, but in MT's motion offense this will keep her low and active and giving her more opportunities with her back to the basket (similar to Boldyreva, but 3 inches taller).

This is a big get for the Lady Raiders as Dominguez selected MT over other P4 offers but her final 5: Miami, South Florida, Washington, Liberty, and MTSU.

Stay tuned as I work on putting together a film package.

I think this signee may not be one of the ones we’ve had listed here (visit that has been kept under wraps to this point). I might be off base here, but if it’s who I think it might be… would be the biggest signing ever for our program.

Practically every one of the current 2025 recruits have been a state player of the year at some time or another during their high school career. This already may have been one of MT's best recruited women's classes ever. Can't wait to see what the icing on the cake will be! Does anyone know when we'll get the update?

MWC getting blown up

We are one of the reasons this conference is such a shit hole. We have no room to talk. When it comes to the two core sports this university is a dumpster fire and has been for seven or eight years.

What makes any of you think any other conference would want this train wreck? We’re here with these other schools for a reason. We’re here because we are just like the schools that we are casting stones at.

I agree. It's a tough pill to swallow, but we are exactly where we belong. This university ignored athletics and took being FBS/D1 for granted. Then realignment smacked them right across the face. And now it's too late.
