Interesting. I wonder if losing Bella pissed her off, which caused her to think forget trying to develop home grown players and just go big fish shopping.

I believe she's a Sophomore not a Freshman, either way that hurts

That’s the age in which we live…players constantly jumping ship. I think if they want all these privileges, we need to give them all the responsibilities too. Treat them as employees, put them on waivers if they don’t perform, etc

Saban just called it part of “The Process”. Scholarships are just one year contracts.

I salute Richard for her efforts and her vast improvement this year; however, she is not a top flight performer. Good luck to her!

Yea this one tells me Kim is going all in on proven talent and that she already has commitments.

She usually does announce all at once.

This is going to be interesting!

All 5 don't need to be top flight performers. You need some people to play a role and grow as they mature, which she had already shown big signs of doing.

Unfortunately I don't feel like this one is all on Jada. I really feel like this is a situation where Kim wants to get better as a team and she's moving some pieces around. Maybe Jada got moved out.

Just a hunch. I just don't see Jada leaving on her own. We'll know more when she picks her destination.

Yeah I can't believe Kim was recruiting someone to come in and take over the starting PG role.

It could also be that Jada wanted a more scoring role and she wasn’t going to get that with LSU.

Well, she apparently already has a strong lead on her new home. Probably been in the works.

Guarantee you Jada found out who is coming and her playing time would be cut some. Have patience. Another domino will fall.

This shite is so goddamn crazy. I’m not going to waste time trying to figure it out or analyze it.

I have to believe though, that this did not catch Mulkey by surprise. I really think Kim wanted to roll with her returning back court with a depth piece transfer. But then Bella Hines and her shithead dad lied to her and hit the road after praising her to the skies last week.

I think this pissed Mulkey off and she determined she was going to bring in proven players to get over this Sweet Sixteen-Elite Eight hump, including a star point guard.

I don’t think she told Jada in these exact words, but the overall attitude was: “Don’t like it? Hit the road too.”

Jada is like Bella. She’s a good player, not a great one. She may not have overbearing parents but she does have a cult following of less knowledgeable fans on the LSU WBB Facebook pages who think she can do no wrong and is an infallible superstar.

So yes, I think as someone said, Kim has her commitments already lined up. But I guess we’ll see.

It will be interesting to see what next year’s roster will look like. And while they are good players, a backcourt of Jada Richard and Bella Hines would never win a national championship at LSU.
