re: LSU Women's Basketball Recruiting Thread: 2024 & 2025

It’s a pleasant problem to have, but yes, as crowded as LSU’s roster is with great players, some blue chip recruits will be concerned about playing time.

Personally, I don’t think Angel Reese returns next season. I think most all of her endorsements will transfer to the WNBA. But even if we lose Strong over the playing time issue and LSU’s recruiting class this season is a little weaker I trust Mulkey’s recruiting long term. We’ll be fine.

And what may happen with Strong is that Bartlett gets processed. That might get her a few more minutes. But yes, she’d potentially be playing behind Reese, Morrow, Smith, and ADR next season, assuming ADR continues to develop.

But yes, she’d get plenty playing time if not starting her sophomore year. But this is a pleasant problem to have. If the top recruits in the country are worried about playing time, it means we have a loaded roster.

Kim will continue to get more than her share of top ten recruits.
