Likelyhood is probably somewhere between "No" and "Hell no".

LSU needs defense and rebounding from the 4/5 position, scoring is a bonus. Crooks and the big from Penn State would basically be running suicides the entire game at the pace that LSU likes to play.

Will leave that decision up to Coach Kim. She knows exactly what she is looking for and if Crooks would be a good fit. She can score but not good on defense. And we all know Kim values defense as a priority.

I wish we’d start recruiting internationally and get some tall west African girls or Brazil like Cardoso

She's awful at the game of basketball. Her only skill is camping under the goal in a slow offense and putting up layups.

So you’re saying she can make “layups”? That would be a first for our LSU bigs.

Woolfolk from Georgia has entered the portal. She is a no brainer for Kim. They need to go all in on her. 2 years left, physical, can score, can rebound, can defend. Perfect system fit.

Gracie Merkle, 6-6, C, Jr. (19.2 ppg, 8.2 rpg)

That's who we want.

As I posted under the thread about her, she's s horrible fit. Not built for the pace or the physicality of the SEC. Those stats are a mirage. She was the #2 player on a team so bad her stats had no choice but to look good. She's a mirage.

Woolfolk is bonafide and insert ready now.

Watch the game, not highlight reels and read stats.

Is Shaq’s daughter not transferring from Florida? Felt like a foregone conclusion she would come aboard a month ago.

I believe she is but she went to Florida specifically to avoid the pressure of LSU and the O'Neal name. After hearing the interview Shareef did, I wouldn't be surprised if it stayed that way but she would be a great fit. Big who can board on defense but needs get a little better in man but on offense she is a 4 that can hit the 3, something LSU has not had under Mulkey but I question if Mulkey actually wants that. She seems to want to run 2 combo guards with a 3 and a post on either side of the lane. Drive and kick, rebound potential miss on either side. Women's game is starting to evolve beyond that being the only way to win.

They switched coaches but have managed to keep her and McGill so far. #1 portal shocker along with Iowa St falling to pieces.
