Pretty good considering we don't have any assistant coaches
The "This Program is a mess group will NOT like this" !!!!
Once they run out of things to complain about and post over and over and over again, they won't have anything to post....😀😀😀

Welcome to the new recruit, Cammie McKinney!!! Great job Coach Washington!!! This program is on the way up, up, up.
"According to her ESPN profile, she was also considering Georgia, Vanderbilt, Rice, NC State, Texas A&M, and Kansas."

Great news and I expect it will be the beginning of more to come.
With Kai and Abby honoring their transfer commitment , adding Cammie
makes for hope of CW building a good roster RU WBB fans can get behind

Updated a little bit. Still waiting to hear back from her.
Yessss!! Not a '24 signing!....not a '23......but a '22 HS signing that can come in and play a role right away! That is awesome work CW. Keep 'em coming.
Really hope Kima stays.

Don't assume we don't have any assistant coaches. You may be right about. However, it also could be we do, but just can't announce officially until July 1.
Rutgers has 2 assistant coaches in place,one of whom is Tasha Pointer. They will be officially announced this week.
thank you, do you know the name of the other assistant ?
Also some are implying July 1st is when they will be officially hired., so the announcement this week will notify the fanbase of the hire, but it won't be an official hre for a few weeks or on staff and doing the job this week ?
Nikki McCray is the other assistant. Might actually be associate head coach. Everything last week went into finding a ready to start point guard.Staff is very active on the trail. Also,awaiting word on who the third assistant will be.

Best case scenario for the 3rd spot would be a recruiter with East Coach roots...Jersey, NY, Eastern PA and down to the DMV.
While it is frustrating that there has not been public announcements on staff hires from a fan perspective; it obviously hasn't meant CW hasn't been hard at work. And while yes we fans want to know what's happening, what's most important is that players/recruits know who is on the team--and seems like that is definitely happening.
Nikki McCray had ODU rolling before she got hired by Miss State, and then she had health issues which prompted her resignation. She’s a great get if this is true.
There were guys saying that no good assistant coach options were available in May / June and therefore, the program was a mess.
Bottom line, if you pay good money you can entice anybody....March, April, May, June.....any month.

Nikki McCray's time at Miss St seemed like a mess, but she did well at ODU, and she was on Dawn Staley's staff at SC for a long time before that. She's also a gold medal olympian.
Some People really like throwing around the phrase, "Program was a mess". 😀😀😀😀.
McKinney is ranked in the top-25 point guards in the Class of 2022, according to ESPN, and was a McDonald's All-America Game nominee during her senior season in 2021-22 playing for Memorial High School in Frisco, Texas and for the Texas Elite adidas 3SSB club.
"Rutgers is an amazing school with an amazing staff that has made me feel wanted and loved from the very first phone call," McKinney said.

guess when something looks bad we should wait before saying it looks bad.
I'm glad RU WBB is looking better than when I thought it looked like a mess, but without anything to go by, seeing players leave and no word official or unofficial about assistants being hired or even candidates being interviewed , one can't claim everything is hunky dorre and expect to be believed .
Like it or not, the program wasn't looking good, from when CVS announced she was retiring and even CW's hiring didn't make the positive feeling new like that should bring to fanbase.
Then the worry about who would be on CW';s staff made some feel uneasy and I was one of them that expressed my frustration about the lack of knowing who was being targeted
From CVS' LOA to the coaching and assistant search, lack of info makes one wonder about what's going on and basically have a negative feeling about what's happening

love it and glad CW's pulled in a player like Cammie.
Gives hope that more good ones will commit

A "mess" is 1 year at Miss. State during the covid year when they only played 19 games and they went 10-9.
This is such great news! I think a lot of people were thinking the 2023 recruiting class was slipping through our fingers and Coach comes up with a pretty good looking point guard for 2022?! That is pretty cool. I guess this commitment and the news on the assistants shows that Coach has been working pretty hard since she took this gig. I have to say, she did not seem to be anybody's fool in her introduction press conference. I hope she does great. Go Coach Washington! Go RU!
And to add, she was conference Coach of the Year at ODU in her second year. Had one of the biggest turnarounds during her first year there and left South Carolina after winning their first national title. She is a winner on the court and on the bench, this is a great hire IMO.
Quick handle
Looks like.
maybe some underdog in her as well. We could use a little of that attitude/swagger
why?
looks like a great get!! need more!
CVS left the program in shambles, it's indefensible. one incoming player does nothing to change that. a top 25 LOCAL player literally just called Rutgers out saying she was never contacted by the new coach.
No program in transition is in shambles in the off season. If you followed college sports you would know that transfers out after a coaching change happens ALL THE TIME....unless an existing Assistant is elevated to Head Coach and even then transfers happen.
The only thing that matters is the roster and coaching staff in place on September 5th when the fall semester
starts..Judging a team or roster in June is just........way off base.
Finally...if you think a brand new coach is going to just grab a top rated recruit without any prior relationship then you are not playing attention to how recruiting works.

but getting a talent like Cammie is a good start and will have a positive effect on recruiting.
Also the assistants for CW that are said to be coming should help end the negative situation Coquese Washington inherited and move RU WBB into positive outlook territory
Ooooh, I like this! She looks like an Itty bitty little thing, but she's clearly got some "dawg" in her. Can't wait to see you on The Banks, Cammie!
