re: Any Women's Basketball Recruiting news?

Thanks for the info.

Jefferson, according to our very reliable staff, was announced as an early enrollee and would be in at mid-term. What's curious, she should have played since our SEC schedule had not started, but she didn't. I thought it was strange, but then again, it makes our staff seem a bit unreliable. Well, lo and behold, Laquita had to go to work early to earn money for her family. How much money do these WNBA chick really earn? Was LaQ ever enrolled at LSU, as announced? If not why was this in the press release?

Look..........I know how much money WBB makes for our coffers, so I am not trying to encourage biting the hand that feeds our programs. Not at all!!!

Its DaShawn Hardin

Due to NCAA rules and transferring, she wouldn't have been able to play for us this year!

why has LSU never made a statement of any kind about Jefferson's NOT coming? they have a very bad habit of just "not reporting" negative news about ANY of our programs, recruiting, team/individual performances.

this affliction affects all quote "LSU media sources"----the Advocate, NOLA (Times-Pic), TV, etc. just omit negative facts about the sports.

case in point is the fact that our baseball team AND Bregman and Katz have been in what could be called a slump compared to the rest of their respective seasons---not a word about it. The first mention I saw/heard of any of it was during the Friday game against Florida, during which they actually showed a graphic detailing Katz's numbers for each month of the season, reflecting an obvious negative trend in the last 3 weeks.

My primary point in the previous post was we DESPERATELY need height for '14, and lots of it. Tank and Shelia will be our only front court players left going into '14. Neither of these young ladies is Sylvia Fowles, so it is impossible to get by with that as a front court and a buttload of guards.

True depth is a good thing to have, but we DO NOT need warm bodies. We need people who can make an impact---not expecting All-American here, just real, tangible contributions. Further, if we're gonna front-load the '14 class before we even get actual class of '14 players, we must focus on height, as I referenced above. As I said before, our current (2013) roster will go into '14 with 6 guards and 2 forwards. Now we've added another guard for '14.

I do like the fact, at this point at least, that she will be a junior so that if she doesn't work out well, we won't have used the scholly for a full 4 years.

My bottom line is I love my Lady Tigers dearly and have followed them since the inception of the program. I don't expect all of signees to be High School All Americans, but a few never hurt anybody. Further, I am one who believes that Nikki and Co. know what to do with talent, maybe a little bit better than they are a developing players.

That said, I bet the bunch of them is kicking themselves in the arse daily for letting Bianca and TP ride the pine so much last year. Van also wasted Bianca for 2 years---Adrienne and his '08 class (his first and best) were his babies, getting the huge bulk of PT.

I just pray that the next transfer they are gonna announce (Bethel's is still not even on the website) is a front court player with some sort of proven talent.

GEAUX LADY TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your prayers were answered yesterday.

Question: How exactly is that?

First of all, I'm referring to the NEXT announcement referenced in the article. Secondly, no matter what Nikki says (which, duh, is all going to be positive---she doesn't want to make herself and staff look bad)the young lady, even at 6', does not remotely answer my prayers for a TRUE front court player. Further Ms. Bethel didn't get PT on a mediocre WVU team; I'm not sure exactly what that my indicate, so I'll leave it to all of our imaginations. I guess I should have specified that it might require a little bit of size to fulfill my request.

Once again, I really, really hope she proves me wrong, and I will be the first to acknowledge and applaud her if she does.

GEAUX LADY TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The NEXT announcement had already happened when you posted that. Just fricking look it up.

I tried looking it up with no success; perhaps you could share your wisdom and guide me as to where I should look. I don't know what I'm supposed to Google or whatever, but I'm not finding anything recent except Harden, Hill, and Bethel.
