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

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

All I can say is that I hope you're right.................................................

Raw height is, but overall size with coordination and mobility isn’t. Going against big girls has definitely been an issue for us and they have completely overwhelmed us at times.

1-2 inch differences isn’t horrible significant


Size is only as good as you use it.


6’3 and 6’5 is acceptable at the 5. Sure I want more depth but we know it’s not changing this season. grace and Lola at 6’2, is acceptable at the 4 only


Zakiyah who is 6 feet dealing with 6’3 or bigger in the post last year is an issue as that is pretty significant


Rebounding often is positioning and doing your work ahead of time and having good hands. Does you no good being big and not moving to rebound or not catching


Now on defense I do agree the size issue is a bigger factor

I am not worrying about LSU's size or the ability to rebound the basketball. Every Kim Mulkey team excels at that. IMO LSU's inability to shoot the basketball in the big games is what has cost us and sent us home early. There is a multitude of reasons for this.

Let's hope SC stays away.

Well the good news is there couldn't be many more who can commit to SC since they should be close to covering all there spots for 2027. However, it doesn't help much since Samuels and Wilson are the only two we have to look forward to at this point for 2027. I'd say the only one we have a real chance of getting is Samuels.

Who?

Well, it is now official................................

Zaniyah Johnson Commits to Dawn Staley Over Kim Mulkey

I think we're going to need to focus more on the transfer portal and foreign players moving forward.......................kind of in the mold of Lane Kiffin. A few months ago, this was looking like it was going to be a great class. Now it appears all we'll get is Bradley..................................and that's probably because she's from Louisiana.

For what it’s worth , CJ from TigerBait who usually has some info beforehand tweeted that if Anna had gone to high school in this country she’d been the top ranked post player in the country.

I’d ask him how he came to that conclusion but he blocked me , little sensitive fellow apparently.

But heard LSU has had some money issues so it’ll be interesting how they work this out.

Why? Was more directed to the men's program at the expense of the women's program? Zero sum?

I would like to know if the WBB program has a few of their own donors . Figure football and men’s basketball are going to get the majority of the donations .

Wade said in an interview recently that he has as much nil money as he needs ..
