re: LSU Women Basketball Recruiting Thread (2026 and Beyond)

The 20 year old former pro player at Kentucky has 4 years of eligibility

In theory Morro has 3 years now IF she wants it

Anna has 5 years

Mulkey and MK spoke highly of Anna in today’s interview with the media .

She’ll be good but do expect some hiccups and adjustments being so young but the schedule sets up well for her to develop

And I don't know the 5 for 5 eligibility rules for wbb re:Jada, Mikaylah or Milaysia, but if they have a 5th year available, I'm sure LSU can outbid the wnba.

Uhm, no they can't.

As for Mineava, I'm reserving my judgement for when the season starts. I don't doubt that she's extremely talented. But, if we're having to trust a 17 year old, to hold down the post for us this season, that is NOT good regardless of how talented she is.

We don’t need Anna to be an all sec type player this season, What we need is for her to not be a liability when she is on the court .

They’ll obviously lean on Morro as well who has pro experience and turns 22 in December

She should be more physically ready to play as compared to Anna .

Looking at her highlights and it’s a small sample size but looks like she may prefer to play away from the basket

Offensively yes, Kim has said they will run actions for her to get her the ball in those spots but it doesn’t change defensively for her. Morro is a long 6’3 and she defended lots of traditional centers and long forwards in Spain

and Reese was 6'1" and a quarter in socks. She was not her listed 6'4" or her claim she is 6'3". So 6'3" Morro and 6'5" Anna gives us more height than our championship year. Obviously the same experience is not there but the height is there

Absolutely.....................................................but she is only 6'3" AND it sounds like they want her to be able to stretch the floor. So, she won't be in the post all of the time. I am concerned.....................................................

That’s on offense. They’ll move her in and out and that’s fine. If anything it will help open up the floor for our guards instead of two bigs always insides. Not sure what that has to do with defense and rebounding inside she won’t be outside the post on defense unless the big girl is outside.

SCs bigs outside of Oliviyah, the ones who are going to actually get minutes all Hoover around 6’3 . Adhel Tac is the only other true big at 6’5 but she won’t even be playing. Breya Cunningham at Texas is only 6’4 and their depth is thin too down low. LSU having someone at 6’3 is not gonna be a deal breaker. Koval was 6’5 but couldn’t catch a ball to save her life.


Like I said I’d expect Morro and Anna to alternate at the 5 and predominantly Lola and Grace to be at the 4. On paper it’s the same size if not slightly bigger than last year, just inexperienced. Morro is bigger and longer than Joyner but she’ll need to get used to physicality and speed of play. But thankfully the schedule allows for them to grow before hard part of conference play in February

It is what it is. The roster isn’t changing . Coaches need to coach and develop the talent they have

Anna does turn 18 in a few months. She’ll be good but I do expect growing pains for any young player. As long as she is peaking by March

From what I've seen it will be obvious to everyone that Anna wlll be a big improvement at the 5 position from the get-go. It will be obvious that she's the best 5 we've had since Angel.

Lost in all of this discussion is the impact Grace Knox will have. She is the X factor. She appears to be absolutely ripped and can jump out of the gym. Look for her to take a major leap and we know she won't back down to anyone. She will play much taller. Zakiya was a stealth rebounder and even though she will be outside more she will provide inside presece when needed. Raw height is such an overrated thing. Look at Aneesah Morrow and what she accomplished.
