re: WBB will need to hit the portal now.

I assure you we are fine, good news coming soon….trust Kim

That’s terrible let’s not sugar coat it. We have a guard who was kicked off of Arizona and does not like to play defense, a tall guard from Ark who has not lived up to her potential, and maybe Shepard who I give you is a big position of need. There is no buzz once so ever of a creditable post. Something is not adding up. What happen to all that bragging from Redius . He only signed 1 HS player who may or may not contribute by year 2 in 2024 and by the looks of it we are getting our butts kicked in the portal this cycle by other SEC teams. That’s not a winning formula to closing the gap with SC.

Surely you jest! Say it ain’t so Joe!!

Kim is done, we should expect her to retire soon

357 I did not mean it to sound like that. I just think we are getting negativity recruited and it is showing by the results.

I don’t disagree that the 2024 hs class was a major frick up but my take is a bit different on this portal class. They have visits behind closed doors with more visits in the works in the coming weeks. They have purposely been quiet about everything.

LSU as it stands has 3 all conference players in its starting lineup (Morrow, Flaujae, MK). No one outside of SC has that… Smith is coming back and she was poised for a Flaujae like breakout last season before the injury. Replacing Reese in a offseason is not realistic but bringing in another big who can help rebound and play their role is important. I like HVL but her production will easily be replaced and upgraded to fit the mold of how Kim likes to play. Everything else is all about bringing in players to come off the bench. Most of your marquee transfers aren’t coming to lsu to come off the bench which is why lsu has been targeting players like Ruby and Gilbert.


Let’s let this play out first. If they don’t land anyone of substance (which they will but if they don’t) then we can bicker

last year —
hvl was announced around april 28
morrow was announced around may 5

Some good points there. 3 of our starting positions (maybe 4 if you want to include Smith) are basically locked up right now. A lot of portal players are in there because they want more playing time.

I know things,it is all good....and for those saying a player has a bad rep from before, what happened with A Morris-kicked off or left 4 programs-comes to LSU becomes a top rate PG and defensive stopper, helps lead us to a NC. Kim ONLY takes players who can work in her system.

Oh but HVL, you mean the HVL and her team who went to elite 8 and lost close game to the hottest team at that time, that HVL, on the team that won over 30 games...I know HVL did not live up to all the hype- but she was key in some big wins when things looked rough- at TN, In Bahamas, at Ole Miss etc

if you are interested, here are some high school recruit summaries. it's always interesting to me to see what offers they had before they committed anywhere. looks like ruby had a lsu offer (old staff), so guessing this means at least she has visited lsu in the past. and looks like gary may have recruited some at vanderbilt.
