We will bring in a PG from the portal, but Jada Richards will see a lot of PT next year

Jada will be a good player eventually but truthfully she is 2-3 years away from getting significant minutes. We had far better recruits ride the bench this year and not look ready

Big portal news:



Her final two schools out of HS: Arkansas and Baylor (when Kim was coach)

What's her game like? 6'5'' wing is very different. She isn't a 3 pt shooter so I could see how she wouldn't work in Neighbors offense.

Would be good depth if nothing else.

It's a lot of perimeter stuff but her shooting numbers at Arky have been bad. She doesn't seem like a post player either. She might need the ball in her hands to be maximized but that probably ain't gonna happen.

I mean if Kim brings her in she is not playing outside 100%. Kim is not having 6'5 play outside, she will be inside a good chunk of the time if she comes in, probably a stretch forward. And its hard to judge her numbers at Arkansas, Neighbors did not utilize her well and the team sucked.


And worse case she is a depth piece. Our bench is already atrocious, we need bench talent and production

Thanks 357. Did she come on her own or did Kim bring her in for the game? Didn't Redus host a HS recruit this weekend?

I'd think LSU hosted her officially.

LSU hosted Bella Hines (#31 recruit), guard from New Mexico this weekend for her official visit.

I have no clue. Her numbers were decent as a freshman but seemed to fall out of rotation the following year then left the team before the season started this year

If I had to guess I would say probably an attitude thing.

We’ve seen Kim thrive with these types of transfers though (Williams, Carson, etc.)

Change of scenery might be good for her

That’s what a coach is supposed to say
