Hopefully she can hit even close to that in the SEC.

Hopefully her defense is at least average.

Good pick up.

This is a major pickup.

She probably won't hit 26 homeruns next year but she definitely will put up some nasty numbers. I don't care who you play that's damn impressive to put up numbers like that against anyone. She also faced some pretty stout pitchers this season too

Beth and the staff have done a masterful job these last 6 months landing big time players.

LSU also might flip a big 2019 pitcher.


Imagine the offense with her, Doyle, Springfield, Serrett, Sunseri, Antoine

With Doyle and Springfield bats we could see another major power punch!

I am assuming she will play at 2B

So she's a CC transfer and eligible for next season -right 357? Appears she also flipped from the Ducks?

I'm not sure what happened I thought she signed with Oregon in late march or April.

Yes she can come and play immediately.


She also had 12 doubles and 3 triples.

I know losing Jaquish will hurt but to bring in this big time player really could be the difference maker next season. This girl is just an RBI machine, she has extremely quick hands and has a good eye as well.

If she can hit .320 or higher with 10+ homeruns LSU will be in great hands next season on offense. We really just needed another RBI machine and its exactly what she is.

It'll be interesting to see how the final lineup shakes out, theres a lot of talent everywhere. The scary thing is this teams position players are extremely young. It'll be a great problem to have.



I just realized she is 6 feet tall.

Excellent get .

Glad to have another infielder.

Let them all compete and may the best player at each position play.

The infield defense has to improve and the offense definitely needs her to swing a productive bar.

Did not expect this.

Lots of options now.

Excellent offensive get. If she can hit 250 with 5 HR's it'll be a significant upgrade at 2nd if that is where she plays. We have been bad there the last 3 years. If she moves to third any production will be an upgrade.

If you can hit it doesn't matter. This year we were below average across the board on infield defense and not very good on offense. A good hitter can alleviate alot of defensive problems, ask Bianca Bell.

You do realize she's one of the top CC players in the entire country. She wouldn't been recruited extremely hard by top programs if she wasn't good.

Even if she is half as good next year it's a major addition to the offensive side of the ball. She didn't play "horrible" teams all year either. To put up that big of numbers is still extremely impressive.

She's got good bat speed and not a long, slow process. Impressive

She is a good athlete too. Its pretty telling when she was highly sought out by UCLA, Oregon and Washington. Just from film it seems she can play in a lot of places on the infield with capability of playing in the OF as well.

The staff has been killing it lately on the recruiting trail. The next three classes are top 10 classes.

We have the number 2 pitcher for class of 2020 (Morgan Smith), and LSU is in the mix for a lot of 2021 prospects already out in California.

It looks like there is a change of pace with the type of athletes being recruited as well, 2018 and 2020 have a lot of power hitters.

Agree. but we got to be mindful of not just who we getting but who we losing. Next year we lose two stud pitchers.. good thing is Lowary and Parker, and all the other great players across the country that were juniors this past year will be gone when Carley and Allie leave.
