re: Velvez Woman BB!

We also have Smith who is 6’2 and long. But I think he’s right, we could use an athletic 6’4 or taller player and he’s right about Del Rosario also. She will train and get some playing time, simply to stay under the rim, just like Smith and Day did because of her height but if we need her to defend some of these more athletic bigs in the country, she’ll have some issues.

But I assure you, we are plenty big enough to get the job done and even with a slightly smaller lineup, these girls we picked up aren’t small. They are big bodied girls which could be even tougher to defend. They can all move really well, they can all shoot, they can all drive and we have the best rebounder in the country by a mile.

Even if we have issues with one or two teams defensively, they will also have issues guarding our lineup defensively. We just added like 3 Poole type players who are elite shooters and are also elite drivers. Not to mention that they aren’t terrible when it comes to rebounds and defending. Watch some videos of Morrow, HVL and Williams on offense and defense.

I like our lineup because it’s versatile. If we need length, we can go with Reese, Smith, Del Rosario, HVL and Morrow/ Williams and we would still have plenty of offense with that lineup. We also have Bartlett and Alissa Williams who are both big girls. 6’3 and 6’2 forwards. Adding one more 6’4/ 6’5 foward/center wouldn’t hurt though. If Mulkey and staff can work with Smith and Del Rosario on handling the ball and their outside shots then we’ll be more than fine. Smith may not be 6’5 but she plays taller than 6’2 so that will help us. She’s not a freshman anymore and she saw plenty of high pressure minutes last season to help her to grow this season. Who knows, we could hear another top players name being called up to commit to LSU soon too??? Idk just saying?
