She's a TRUE FRESHMAN is the part you’re apparently missing. Plus she actually played well with limited playing time.

Damn some LSU fans will shite on any player anytime huh?


If you say so bro. I'm just telling you what my eyes showed. She's tall, sure. The Freshman stuff is a stupid excuse.

I'm telling you she's extremely slow and unathletic with no discernable "big" moves around the basket other than being tall. She is as fleet of foot as a light post. I don't look at that and get warm and fuzzy when you watch other girls of that size on other teams. She's not even close to that.

You can get mad all you want, but I'm not making anything up for the purposes of shitting on an LSU player as you so eloquently put it.

I'm just making an observation that ADR shows very little basketball skill unless you consider being tall a skill.

What am I missing here? I watched every game. ADR is not good.


What skills do you have except for being a complete fricking idiot?

I get what you’re saying and agree for the most part. I coached middle school girls and would convince a lot of girls who were tall to come out, even if they’ve never touched a basketball. Size is a factor but you have to know how to use it.

Her conditioning is greatly improved from the start of the season and I’m sure it’ll keep getting better. The biggest thing that ADR needs is agility training. Losing weight and working on agility will open up her game and she’ll develop a new skill set.

So I agree that she wasn’t THAT impressive this year as far as being a legitimate post option, and definitely would not have been a viable option to start in the absence of Angel, but I do think she was a decent backup and when she did get chances, was a viable option. And that experience will help her to continue developing and can become a legitimate threat.

I went to most of the home games this year; her improvement from day 1 to the end of the season was significant.

I expect her to make a huge jump from her freshman year to her sophomore year.

Her size alone can help the team.

You can’t make observations without downvotes bro. That’s the way it is around here. Your automatically a hater.
