I'd be willing to bet GG is a LSU lock. All signs are pointed in that direction. I'm more concerned about who else will come on board with her.

357 says we are in a good spot with Mignery .
Bradley , GG and Mignery makes one of the top classes in the country .
Bradley and GG are rated top 5 .

In a recent story from On3, Ashley MacCalla is in consideration, Quandace Samuels, Zaniya Johnson and Ivanna Wilson-Manyacka. I know we won't get all of these players but hopefully we will come out with at least 4 so GG Banks, Carolyn Bradley and any combination 2 of the others. Either way we will have a good class.

I’d like Johnson but in 27 you’ll have Koval , Minaeva and Bradley already .

Don't know if this is still true, but Coach Kim was recruiting 1 or 2 foreign players, I think from Europe. 357 will probably have an update on this. Hiring our 2 assistants with international recruiting experience and contacts will be a big help for Kim.

I've always wondered how Dawn Staley can have multiple players vying for the same position. So I would still love Johnson because she is a PF not a center like Koval, Bradley and Minaeva. Technically we only have 2 PF in Knox and Morro. Not sure if Morro is coming back next season.

For 2026 or 2027?

I assume it's for 2027. It's a little late for 2026 since practices are here and season coming up soon. And mandatory orientation was Aug 14. International players have to go through multiple processes, sometimes long process like Anna, just to get a Visa.

Agree totally. Along with Bradley add GG as point guard, Johnson as PF, then any two of Migniery, Samuels, and Manyacka (preferably), and you have a solid starting lineup for the future.

LSU does need another 4 for after Morro leaves.

Morro has 2 years of eligibility I believe With the 5 to play 5. She is only 21 right now

Knox is only a sophomore too right now

Amiya Joyner pledging for a 5th year I've read. I wonder if she will try to go back to LSU. She averaged 9pts 5 rebs a game.

My people may be wrong but heard it is highly unlikely.

Unlikely for the 5th year or unlikely if she gets the 5th year she will return to LSU?

That she’ll be at lsu if she takes a 5th year. LSU will prob prefer to go all in on development of Koval, Morro, Minaeva, Knox and Lampley

Well looks like she will be granted the 5th so I guess we will see. It would help for a stronger bench player. ??

Looks like we could use her now that Koval is leaving.

Exactly but everyone was against it. Even before the Koval news they should have kept Amiya Joyner.

I think they were right before in not going after Joyner with the four they had (plus Meg). Four is the perfect number to have for post play- four players you can play every game and nobody getting unhappy on the bench. With all of those players I'm sure Joyner saw that and thought she'd have a better opportunity elsewhere.

Also, I'm sure there wasn't any NIL left before Koval left. Now there is. So it's a good opportunity for Joyner again.

These days it's hard to keep players happy, especially five star players, who are relegated to the third team.

My guess is Lampley will be used like Z. Johnson was last year, now that Koval is gone.

She could play on the wing, as well. Sucks losing Kate, especially this late.

Kentucky’s, and Texas’ roster looks taller this year, than last if that’s possible…not to mention SC.
