Looks like she’s very skilled offensively.
It will be interesting to see how much she contributes this season at only 17 years old .

Remember she played in the best Professional Russian Leagues, she's ready for the SEC, more ready than Kate Koval when she came over to LSU. Anna passing, footwork, positioning, rebounding, running, handles and especially her shooting is on another level from Kate's. Well, Kate didn't play much at ND, so hopefully her shooting and overall game has gotten better in a full off-season in LSU program.

Anna has more moves than X-Lax.

All I really care about is can she add some defensive presence and key rebounding against the best teams in the nation. I know the fun thing these days is to bash Angel Reese, but we usually dominated even the best teams on the boards and in the paint when she was here. We lacked that last year by a lot.
Our overall rebounding numbers were good, but that's because our frontcourt was doing a shite ton of the heavy lifting.
If you go look at our 6 losses, our frontcourt was outrebounded in every game except for one. And usually by a lot, often double. They were also outscored every game.
You can't ask your frontcourt to pull all the weight all the time. Its why we lost those first two games to Kentucky and Vanderbilt and also why we lost to Duke in the tourney.

I'll bet they will consider inviting Amiya Joyner back now like they should have anyway.

You can say it all you want it's an early out for the tournament with no post players.

And it has been all along. Unless you're the coach you don't get to make those decisions either.

You keep saying they should have kept Joyner but Joyner does not want to be at LsU. She has voiced her disdain and about wanting to go somewhere else on her socials during her lives. She was disciplined for violation team rules multiple times and mulkey gave her a slap on the wrist a few times until that one event where she was sat for a full game in first round of the NCAAT. They do not get along.


I don’t disagree lsu needs more bigs. Prob should have thought of that a while back if there was potential concerns. They aren’t adding anyone else to this years team it is what it is. They get paid millions to coach develop and to figure it out

Are there any bigs out there in the pool of players coming back for an extra season. They obviously have more NIL now that Koval is gone.

Yep Ana is the only true 5 on the roster and looks like she’s got a lot of potential , hope she grows up fast.

Mulkey knew there was a risk in bringing Ana in due to the conflict. The fact that she still bought her in tells me she must think highly of Ana .

Joyner was one of the laziest athletes I’ve ever seen compete. I wouldn’t be the slightest bit shocked that Mulkey didn’t like her.

“Mimi” Joyner. She is a good player. Kim has to maintain the discipline as she can be rough.
