When people ask me what type of player I want to recruit at Mississippi State
The answer is simple. Olivia Cochran
One of the TOUGHEST performances I ever witnessed.
Busted Eye in the Sweet 16
Game Winning Buckets in the Elite 8
We are headed to the Final 4 because of you O
Thank you Bulldog Family.
I challenged y'all to show up and you delivered.
I am so grateful to be the head coach here at Mississippi State. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!

It doesn’t get better than this guy!
Never met someone at his level treat everyone with so much respect and love.
Praying for you
@Coach_Leach

Keep fighting.
It is with a heavy heart that we mourn the passing of Nikki McCray-Penson.
She was an incredible basketball coach and a true leader of women, but more importantly, she was a loving Mother and Wife.
Nikki and her family will continue to be in our hearts & in our prayers.
Bulldog Family,
I'm officially done at Louisville after a great run to the Final 4.
I promise you I’m working hard behind the scenes and I'm EXCITED about some upcoming details.

I want to personally thank EVERYONE in the Starkvillle Community.
The amount of love our program has received is awesome.
The newspaper articles left on my car, baked cookies, handwritten notes, & all the words of encouragement as I walk thru campus.
This place is special!
Bulldog Family,
You have a special group of young ladies who are playing their ❤️ out for you right now.

It’s been an honor to be on your staff for the last nine years.
2 Final 4’s together.
Now let’s go get this National Championship!
Made a quick stop by the Dallas Wings practice to see if
@Teaira_15
had any eligibility left.
What an honor to chat with one of the best Mississippi State Bulldogs to ever put on a uniform.
We are all so proud of you! Best of luck to you this WNBA season.
Great time hanging out with

Love talking about her career at Mississippi State & back 2️⃣ back National Championship Appearances.

Bulldog Family,
Thank you for welcoming my family and my team with open arms over the last eight months.
We can't wait to play for YOU; in the Hump.
Let's make tomorrow a special day, TOGETHER.
#OpeningDay
Sam Purcell says a text thread of SEC coaches starting blowing up before MSU's game, encouraging Purcell to set the tone for the conference in the NCAA Tournament.
Don’t give Jeff Walz a timeout & a clipboard at the end of the game; he will put us in a position to win.
This is why he is one of the best coaches in the country.
What a play at the end of the game to steal one on the road.
I walked into the office at 7:30 a.m. this morning and heard a basketball bouncing.
Who is it?
It's Freshman
@jassyj2023

I see you Jaz! Continue to stay hungry.

@JansSheri
tells me it was rocking 🔥. It delayed our shooting workout on the road as the guys were locked in to the game.

We couldn’t invite her friends over from the neighborhood so we decide to bring some buddies from out of the closet. Happy Birthday Reagan!
#coronabirthdayparty
My reaction when I read all the negative recruiting about Louisville & how we can't develop post players? It's only Guard U. Really? THREE STRAIGHT YEARS we have had a post player drafted. Myisha Hines-Allen, Sam Fuerhing, & Kylee Shook.
#JustStop
Went to pick up dinner for the family at Chick-fil-A and a major shout out to my guy Glennon for showing some love to our WBB squad!

Bulldog Family,
Top 20 in the country last year in attendance.
Currently in the Top 20 this year.
But tomorrow…. we get a chance to do something special!
Let’s get my FIRST SELLOUT at Mississippi State in less than 2️⃣ years.
The VISION is real.💥🙏🗣
#WhyNotUs
Parents. As your child receives all these awesome offers, I encourage you to sit down and look at a calendar. How can you make time to visit these schools? Is that university a possible choice? Don’t chase retweets. Search for real life happiness & answers!
#TakeItToTheNextLevel
Mood 💥💥💥
First road test of the year in an unbelievable environment on the road.
I found out today what I got in that locker room.
4 Quarter DAWGS! 🐶
#TurnUp
So PROUD of these players & my staff! We have been thru a lot.
Tore ACL. Multiple Injuries. Players & staff missing games for being sick.
Yet… we stay TOGETHER as “ONE” & we find a way.
We have some DAWGS in that locker room.
Bring on Christmas Santa.

Honored to have breakfast with Sharon Fanning-Otis & her husband Larry at

Great conversations about all the past history & special players for WBB at Mississippi State during her 17 years coaching here.
Appreciate you Coach!
#BulldogFamily
Great time catching up with Mississippi State Football Legend
@GrindSimmons94
I’m a huge fan now after hearing his story & most importantly his heart for giving back to the community.
Look forward to getting you back for a WBB game soon.
#HailState
It's time to write about more players in College Women’s Basketball.
I will start....
I have ONE of the best post players in the Country.

Bulldog Twitter Family,
Last year’s slogan was Why Not Us!
Why Not Us: Top 25 HS Recruiting Class. ✅
Why Not Us: Top 3 Transfer Portal Class ✅
Why Not Us: NCAA 2nd Round Appearance. ✅
Why Not Us: Top 15 Attendance ✅
Tomorrow we announce our new slogan for next year...
Proud of
@jessikaaacarter

I will keep saying it…..
One of the BEST stories in Women’s Basketball.
When kids can leave at any time now and transfer; she stayed here during her 5 year career and played for 4 different Head Coaches.
Grateful to coach you. Hail State.
Good morning Bulldog Family,
Keep your fingers crossed today. 🤞🏻
Selection Show Sunday! 🗣🗣🗣
You sit and wait to hear your name called for the opportunity to create moments like this in March. ���️
This is what College Basketball is all about. 💯💥📺
Why Not Us?
For any player out there who has doubts about playing at the highest level because they are small; think again.
@Danaaakianaaa
was named a College All-American for the 2nd time in her college career & she is 5’6.
It’s not about height; it’s about the heart.
Dream Big!
I can't even describe the excitement I felt today with
@debreasha
family.
The love they have for Mississippi State and belief in me & my staff is everything.
Great Family. Great People.
So excited to coach you next year.
#BulldogFamily
Recruits,
I told you this place is special!
350 people showed up on a Tuesday to talk about Women’s Basketball with our players and staff.
Thank You Bulldog Family. What a night.

Appreciate you.
I would not be here if it wasn't for you. You poured into me over the last 9 years to prepare me for this moment.
This is why you are a legend & will be in the Hall of Fame soon.
You make everybody better.
Cheering for y’all from South Bend!

You didn't commit the first time I tried to get you to the Ville but THANK GOD you gave us a chance the 2nd time.
So proud of you

Miami stand up.
She was huge in the Elite 8. 💯
#PortalSauce
In my opinion, the team that presents a major challenge to LSU and South Carolina in the SEC is Mississippi State. They have their top two leading scorers from the previous season, in addition to having the 21st-best recruiting class and three ESPN Top 25 transfers.
I need you Sunday at 2 p.m.!
We need the Hump Rocking when we take on Texas A&M! Help us close out this week strong!
Retweet and spread the word. Tell your neighbor. Pick up a friend.
