Not a great look to look that way and potentially not sign anyone other than Jada Richard this week, would be one of Kim's worst HS classes if that holds up..


FYI:
From LSUSports.net

LSU Signs Jada Richard, Top Player in Louisiana




BATON ROUGE – Coach Kim Mulkey and the Tigers landed Jada Richard on Wednesday, the top high school prospect from Louisiana, to kick off the signing period.

This early signing period lasts until November 15 and the Tigers could potentially sign others over the coming week. Since Coach Mulkey’s arrival at LSU the Tigers have been dominant in bringing in top-tier talent across the board.

Richard is staying home as the top player out of Louisiana and a four-star, top-100 prospect by ESPNW. The 5-6 guard out of Lafayette Christian Academy has won three straight state championships across three divisions. In this year’s championship game, she scored 32 points with six rebounds, five assists and five steals, being named the game’s Most Outstanding Player.

“Jada’s scoring ability from the perimeter and midrange is outstanding, but what’s equally impressive is her knack for creating opportunities for others,” Coach Kim Mulkey said. “She’s a selfless player with a high basketball IQ. I have no doubt she will continue to excel and elevate the play of her teammates. I’m excited that Jada is staying home to be a Tiger!”

Richard, who was the District 4-4A MVP, averaged 28.2 points, five assists, four steals and five rebounds per game en route to leading the Knights to the Division II select state title. Through three seasons of high school basketball, Richard has accumulated 2,021 points.

She’s a great player. Her stats are skewed. LCA beats everyone so bad she only plays half of most games.

She also said they hope to sign 3 more players in the early signing period. I thought that was interesting.

I posted this before but in her state title game back in March, Jada Richard had 32 pts, shot 50% from the floor, 50% from 3, and 100% from FT. She also got 6 rebs, 5 stl, 5 ast…and a trophy. That’s one helluva night.

Strong is waiting to spring to sign , I believe.
JC maybe . Only other name I’m aware of would be O’ Neal but that ship has apparently sailed.

Based on what we have read and videos of multiple games we watched, and Mulkey's comments, Richard is a good point guard with high basketball IQ. She is a leader, the general running the team. Won 3 straight state championships and looking for 4th. She has winning mentality. Mulkey and the assistant coaches love her as point guard. She is the energizer bunny, a go-getter, always wants the ball. Let's welcome her to the LSU family!

Richards will be nice but Cambridge is really the game changer they need

I'll ask Shaq on Friday where his daughter is signing with. My company is hosting him on Friday.

It is odd Joyce still hasn’t committed to SC yet. Their school is 40 minutes from where she lives and let’s be honest they’ve been the standard the last few years. She could be enjoying the process but could it be more than that?

The early signing period goes until the 15th I believe (357 correct me if I’m wrong) so she still could sign. But reading that article that was released today she sounds undecided. Just wondering if LSU has more of a chance than we think.

Interestingly, the #19 overall 6-4 Forward (& dunker) Arianna Roberson, who visited UConn with Sarah Strong, signed with Duke today. I thought UConn had some steam there at the end.

It was unsubstantiated comments from multiple posters replying in the comment sections on various Twitter & YouTube uploads, probably just passing on what they read from comment sections, just like I did.

Crazy year. Don’t remember 3 high profile players not signing during the first day of early signing.

Other than Strong, O’Neal, Cambridge and Edwards, has anyone heard any other names?
