how many more scholarships do we have? we couldn’t get both, could we?



3 but the chances of adding both IMO are pretty slim

I think LSU adds more and goes into the 2024 with 13 on scholarship which is more than we had this year, and the biggest thing is the bench this year is all much more playable and has proven production coming in

Scholarship Only

Guards:
-Flaujae
-Williams
-Day-Wilson
-Gilbert
-Sheppard
-Poa
-Richard

Posts/Forwards:
-Morrow
-Smith
-Rosario
-Wolfenbarger
-Bartlett
-Dauda or Muhammad

i think they need to use 2 of those 3 remaining scholarships and get 2 bigs.

SMITH - shes the best big we got! will she be 100% (like really 100%) when the season starts? i mean, we can take her at 85% i guess but we dont need her to be reaggravate the other knee again. or a foot.

ADR - sorry! im calling this one a dud. i dont think she produced nearly as much as kim would have liked esp for being the #7 recruit outta high school. id take audi crooks (at #57) over ADR any day! being 6'6 can only get you so much--you gotta know how to use that height, and she doesnt. hopefully she'll get better this summer like smith did.

MORROW - meh. wildly inconsistent. and i highly doubt she's really 6'1. maybe 5'11 on a good day. when angel missed those games in november, she shined! if we can get that girl to come play at every game, that'd be at least 2 decent frontcourt players.

WOLFENBARGER - shes listed as a guard. and from all the video ive seen of her, thats the position she plays. ive never seen her post up, never seen her defending down low--but i guess today's game is a position-less one, so if mulkey wants her to be a big....
that said, we all saw how well hvl did playing outside of her position.

BARTLETT - why?

SO WE NEED 2 GOOD BIGS! GOOD BIGS! PREFERABLY AT LEAST 6'2!!

Agreed, looking closer, this years team is already much more complete.

Lost:
Angelica Velez, 5’7 G So (1.2ppg)
Janae Kent, 6’1 G So (1.6ppg)
Kateri Poole, 5’8 G Gr (4.5ppg 22-23) 4GP
Hailey van Lith, 5’7 G Gr (11.6ppg, 3.6apg)
Angel Reese, 6’3 F Sr (18.6ppg, 13.4rpg)

Returning:
Mikayla Williams, 6’0 G So (14.5ppg, 2.9apg)
Flau’jae Johnson, 5’10 G Jr (14.9ppg, 5.5rpg)
Last-Tear Poa, 5’11 G Sr (4.9ppg, 3.0apg)
Aneesah Morrow, 6’1 F Jr (16.4ppg, 10.0rpg)
Aalyah Del Rosario, 6’6 C So (4.7ppg, 3.5rpg)
Sa’Myah Smith, 6’2 F Jr (11.7ppg, 7.6rpg) 7GP

Amani Bartlett, 6’3 F Sr (0.8ppg)
Izzy Besselman, 5’10 G Jr (0.3ppg)

Added:
Shayeann Day-Wilson, 5’6 G Sr (11.9ppg)
Kailyn Gilbert, 5’8 G Jr (15.1ppg)
Jersey Wolfenbarger, 6’5 G/F Sr (3.9ppg 22-23)
Mjracle Sheppard, 5’10 G So (5.0ppg)
Jada Richard, 5’6 G Fr (28.2ppg) #90espnW

Rotation may look something like:
G: Day-Wilson | Poa | Sheppard | Richard
G: Williams | Gilbert
G/F: Johnson | Wolfenbarer
F: Morrow
F: Smith | Del Rosario

Bartlett | Besselman

Likely add 1-2 F as mentioned and this team is dangerous. Top of the board has to be:

Raegan Beers, 6’4 F Jr (17.5ppg, 10.3rpg)
Kiki Iriafen, 6’3 F Sr (19.4ppg, 11.0rpg)

Beers is rumored to be UConn or Oklahoma and Iriafen ends up at UCLA or USC I think, but if we could add either it would be huge. More realistic is add 1-2 of:

Amina Muhammad, 6’4 F Jr (6.1ppg, 4.3rpg)
Maryam Dauda, 6’4 F Jr (10.1ppg, 6.3rpg)
Janiah Barker, 6’4 F Jr (12.2ppg, 7.6rpg)

Also, wouldn’t mind taking a flyer on the center from Baylor:

Lety Vasconcelos, 6’7 C So (1.1ppg)

6’7 Brazilian center in the rotation for next few years and being developed by Mulkey doesn’t sound all that bad.

Regardless how the final pieces come together over next few weeks this team should be fun to watch.
