Morris was the only real addition to Mulkey's first team, which was the team she was talking about. She didn't bring it up and they were talking about a conversation they had with Mulkey talking about what she left for that first team. She complimented LSU and the fans the whole game so the only bitterness is from people in this thread.

Nicky Fargas was to LSU WBB as Murphy Paul was to BRPD.

I have actually been impressed with her on SEC network. I feel that commentary may be a good future for her.

Nikki was very gracious in commenting on her love for LSU and appreciation for the city and the university. But go ahead and shite on her because she didn't equal the Hall of Fame coach who followed her.


We gave her millions of dollars to just go through the motions.

All she did was steal a paycheck. She was awful and should have been fired long before she was.

She got that big payday and just milked as many years as she could. She was totally capable of being highly successful coach for us, but got extremely lazy both recruiting and coaching.

mentioned that she was staying because she loved LSU and how it wasn’t that hard of a decision even with her aunt Fargas getting fired. I do believe Fargas did indeed tell them to stay.


Fargas wasn’t fired. She resigned

Trust me when I say this, KP didn’t act like “she resigned”.

BTW - before I fired anyone, most “resigned”.

Fargas was a waste and lazy, she had opportunities, but wasted her time.

I’ll have to go look but it seemed like there were a few others.




Fargas also left Cherry, Trasi, Aifuwa, she added Newby as a grad transfer before Kim took the job. All were serviceable but not great tbh but its mostly the same core for the most part that only won 9 games the year before.

That said the addition of Morris by Mulkey 100% changed the outlook year one. Pointer didn't have the help before and Morris helped Mulkey get the ball rolling for a successful year one. I'd also say Kim really helped Cherry in the confidence department and really elevated her game all around

Fargas did a nice job with the players she inherited by Van Chancellor during her first few years (who was past his prime but brought in some talent). Once the last of his players left (Plaisance and company) things started to fall off a bit in the recruiting department and had issues with attrition to key players (Ballard dismissed). They had some years were they sere serviceable but never could get past the first round in the time they did make it. I think Nikki went over 7-8 years without winning a NCAAT game before stepping down and Mulkey coming in.

It's really the fans fault, they just don't support her the way they do Mulkey.

Her main contribution was exiting at the most opportune time.

That wasn't Fargas saying that stuff it was the play-by-play.

Nikki kept it classy and said good things about LSU.

I don’t know…her on the court coaching seemed to be pretty decent.


I actually agree, I thought she was a good bench coach, but didn't get the players in and didn't seem all that willing to put in the work to do so.
