It'll be interesting to see what role she ends up playing for LSU. Her YouTube clips show the guard skillset but still, there aren't that many 6'5 girls.

ADR at 5 - I believe her quickness,
Strength and explosiveness grows exponentially in the off season as will her skills.
Smith at 4/5
Morrow at 3/4
Big 4 at PG and 2
Williams at the PG, 2 and 3

Lots of bench
LTP
Girl from Arky
Richard - she will play.
I’m sure I’m
Missing some.

Yep. No doubt the writer threw a bit of a veiled jab at Mulkey and LSU: “Expect a LONG line of suitors for this 4 star PG!”

The impression he wants to leave with the casuals is that she is a great player leaving because of the program, not because, as likely, she was processed.

Yep. That LONG LINE of suitors will be: SELA, Missouri State, McNeese, Georgia Southern, etc etc.



Nah, bruh. She'll be at a power five program. Just because Kim didn't play her doesn't mean she's not skilled. She was an ESPN top 50 player for a reason. I'm sure she'll prosper wherever she ends up.

ADR needs to hit the weight room and play a lot more physical next season
If she can develop and make that next improvement she could be a force


Her feet are slow on the defensive side.

Kent will see increased PT. I see Richard getting much PT as Velez did her 1st year.

Definitely need more depth pieces pg, 2 post players,and 3 point shooter

Possibly former Clemson PG/CG will commit? I think dead period/no contact for WBB ended yesterday 4/8. We now have 9 on the team (including Jersey Wolfenbarger who signed), plus Richard from 2024 class makes it 10. Kim and most teams normally have avg 12 on the roster. So that should give us at least 2 spots from the portal (maybe 3 if Kim wants 13 players).

The Clemson girl is more of a shooting guard. You still need a true point and a center/ power forward with Del still developing and coming off the bench

No one has mentioned Kent. Based on what I've seen, she's very athletic but needs to work on being more under control. Didn't see enough to know her shooting skills.

On a side note, the girl that played center for Iowa really improved a lot from last year.

Besselman going nowhere, local product would not play a lot at virtually any D1 program, on team for leadership etc

I'm sure she is a nice person...

According to SI.com and LSU Country, Kim is pursuing both Whitehorn and Hagemann as point guards.

"The Tigers are in need of experienced depth at the point guard position with Whitehorn and Hagemann appearing to be two candidates as we look ahead. The goal over the next few months will be to bring in at least three players via the portal."

DelRosario: big, slow, no vertical whatsoever, tries to reach over rebounders instead of fighting for position, has a nice smile, improved some but needs to improve a lot more if she expects to start next season.

I would imagine the already have her working. I'm sure it includes a bunch of footwork and conditioning. If you remember, before Smith went dow.. She looked bigger and faser than the previous year. I'd expect the same.

Okay so I guess i’ll say it. Del Rosario isn’t it. She’s 6’7, plays like she’s a 5’8 center. When she makes a shot, its equivalent to scoring a touchdown. We need another center, its not rocket science. Big, goofy, over exaggerated play and animated.

It’s like she does stuff on purpose at times and acts confused..like jumping knowing she’s about to get faked out, unnecessary fouls, throws elbows deliberately and acts confused when she gets the whistle, and act like she’s playing tough defense and just letting the defender go around her. She’s not built ford tough, just a person that’s 6’7.

I know, right? Because players NEVER get better between freshman and sophomore year. Like Flau'jae was the same exact player this year as she was freshman year.

No.. This person thinks the 6'5" freshman has topped ot before her Soph season even has camp. That's it. Done. I guess any true FR who didn't play should just quit the sport.

To me she always looks like she is confused. As big as she is she should be able to knock some bodies around.
