Sad to see, but the young lady lacks quickness, speed, and jumping ability. She's big, but doesn't use her size to any advantage. Don't know if she is battling injury of some sort, but she is not fitting into the Lady Tigers system.

She’s not a good basketball player that only got this far because of her height.

Have you looked at her weight and athletic ability? You have to get in great shape before you play any sports.

Is she the Kardell Thomas of WBB or too early?

Way too soft. She lets opponents straight up bully her. It’s actually comical to watch her during games.

I don’t think she will be here next year, they are already working to get bigs through the portal and Kim signed a 6’3 forward out of Cali who is a top recruit

Last year she at least showed a little potential, this year she doesn’t even look good in garbage time .

She's the same player she was last year, only a year older and (it appears) in worse basketball shape.
She's just tall, that's all. She can't run, she can't guard anyone and, instead of blocking out, she always reaches over trying to get rebounds.

I wrote a year ago that I didn't see any upside to her, and of course the clowns on this board downvoted me.

I sorta hate being right. I wish she had worked out.

I've always pulled for her, but she is just too slow/heavy-footed for today's game. She would have been a decent player about 20-30 years ago when the game featured much more post play and zone defenses.

5 star because she was taller than everyone else. completely lacks skill or athletic prowess.

"Sometimes things don't work out"

I said this last night as I watched Del Rosario in the game. The last 3-4 games she's gotten minimal playing time. I don't know if it's because her ankle hadn't healed completely or if it was just the other post were playing better than her. However, even when she got in the game against Arkansas, she looked confused, slow, and non-aggressive. I've been one to support her being on the team on this board, in hopes that she just needed a longer time to develop than some other players with similar incoming accolades. But, after watching her last night, I have a feeling she'll be transferring in the offseason. I saw minimal effort. She looked like a player who wasn't getting playing time and when put in when a game has been decided was saying "f_ _ ck it". I could be wrong, but that's how it looked......................................................................

I wonder if she would do better if she were reunited with her best friend Angelica Velez at Syracuse? I just don't understand why we didn't get THIS version of Del Rosario.......................?

I agree.. although something seems a bit off with her.

She showed so much progress this summer before the surgery.

As you all know, sometimes women's bodies change as they reach the age of majority. She clearly has fitness issues, but some of it is just genetics. You can see the difference in how much agility she has lost since high school. Seems to have a great personality, wish she could drop the weight somehow and reach her potential.

That seems to be true, but I wonder with her size whether she couldn't be effective if she just lost weight and got in game condition.

I don't understand how no one has sat her down and explained life to her and set up a program to make this happen.

She has decent skills. Being a bit over weight and playing charmin soft is a big problem. She would probably do well at a smaller school. She will never be great at LSU playing the way she does.

Literally all she does well is foul.
