ADR took over at times with her height. Hopefully she taps in to that more next year.

She is not a starter yet but will be after next year. She improved as the year went on and will be a starter after next season. We need an experienced big to go along with Smith and Morrow with Del getting significant minutes next year. We desperately need a true point. For us to compete next year Williams needs to take a jump.

I don’t think finding guards will be difficult from the portal. Lots of talented guards every year. Post players are much more difficult to come by though

Agree, guards are a dime a dozen, tall post players who can score and rebound are harder to find. Just curious after 3 years sitting on the bench, will Bartlett enter the transfer portal? She only has 1-more year and her buddy Angel is leaving. Noticed the past 2 years she was always on Angel's social media posts and in a lot of her pics. She is always with Angel outside of games, always in front of a camera with Angel. Don't really know why Kim has kept her on scholarship the past 3 years. She was a top 50/55 recruit out of HS but never panned out as a starter or contribute from the bench. Can someone give reasoning why she should come back next year and sit on the bench again?

Bartlett is less than a year from graduating so I dont see her transferring or Kim nudging her with that around the corner, if she was gonna leave it would have been after last offseason.

And Bartlett was a late add by Kim before practices even began at LSU her first year. I think Kim saw there was a top 100 recruit available and added her because she wasn't sure how much talent or depth would be usable when she took the LSU job. Amani spent a great portion of her HS career injured which is why I suspect she never developed or transitioned well into college. Seems like a great kid but it didn't work out on the court.

Whitehorn isn’t a pg and she only shoots like 26% from 3

She is an off guard but super quick, explosive, can rebound and has a great midrange game and can get to the rim with ease. Exactly a fit in LSU's system especially with her quickness and Kim's style. Yes her 3 ball needs work but we've seen kids make jumps in their shooting later in their college career if they put in the work, so we will see.


It still will be a excellent pickup, lot of top 25 teams are wanting her. Hasn't even touched her true potential. Was a 5 star top 20 recruit of HS.

How do we feel about the Michigan state transfer? Get those two and a post player and we should be pretty damn good. Dare I say better

If we can grab her, a PG and VanSlooten we will be a tough out.

She sounds like a quicker version of Mikaylah. Her highlights even show some pretty passes like Mikaylah. I'll take 2 Mikaylahs.
