I actually very much agree with your assessment. As optimistic as I may appear on this board, I am also a realist. I do recognize the challenges ahead, but I try to view current circumstances as positively as possible, especially as a season ticket holder. I totally agree that in the off season they will need to "shoot their arms off." Glad you said that, because that is a thought I had as I typed my original post. I still see great potential in this young class, and I do think that Nikki and company can get the current group ready.
Now am I as confident in recruiting? No. But do I view the situation as "black and white" as "mistert" who seems to talk a lot but seems to know next to nothing about WBB? No. I will withhold serious judgement about recruiting until after 2019 class. I've seen some positives and some negatives since what I refer to has the "restart year" for Fargas (i.e. 2015-2016). I've said before and I'll say again, I'll give her at least one more year, but no more than 2 on recruiting.

Recruiting wise: They desperately need to be finding a scoring JUCO guard (2 or 3) to add to this upcoming season and get both of the Young’s for 2019. The one from Evangel had a home visit with Arkansas lately, this will be very disheartening to let a neighboring state/conference rival steal an athletic guard away. This is how i think the depth chart will look for 2018-19. Missing scoring, we can teach that matchup, find some scorers.

I am not sure it makes sense to withhold judgement at this point unless you can point to a systemic change in the coach or program to make you reserve judgement. Maybe it is the career assistant coach from TN that can make a difference. But the track record here at LSU for the head coach in recruiting seems pretty clear. After 2017 she needed a comparable 2018 class. It hasn’t happened.
The performance on the court this year has been an improvement. But if there is a step back next year, the trigger has to be pulled on a change.
Regarding parity: I think it is only marginally better. But parity doesn’t make it easier for a program like LSU. It makes it harder with more competition. Less parity with our history and alumni is a much better situation for LSU with a coach who is very good on the floor and recruiting.
