She didn’t seem to get in better shape since last year. She needs to transfer to a mid major where her size alone impacts the game.

She plays too much in my opinion.

She definitely needs to hit the gym hard. Does not look like an athlete!

I would like to see who is in charge of the post players because I haven't been seeing any grown in any of the big games the past 3 season. Mulkey is going to have to play to their strengths and not force them to be what they can't be. Also, in Mulkey system it works best when the pg can go off the dribble a lot and with the pg.'s she been bringing in they can't do that and that why it's been a struggle. Lsu on offense plays a lot of 3 on 5 because the 1 and the 5 are no threat.

Wisconsin fired their coach today. Fire up the tampering and money machine for Serah Williams.

Mulkey has some bigs incoming next year that would likely be as good as freshman, if not better than Rosario. If she intends to stay at LSU and I’m not sure that is an option, she needs to get very serious about her size, speed and agility. She can do it but she has to really want it. She can’t act like a baby but has to get genuinely get pissed off and decide everything inside the circle is hers.

Watched her a couple games back and she looked like she was coming around but her game against Texas she just looked so slow and out of shape. Mulkey yanked her arse. Unfortunately with just an injured Morrow I don't like how we match up against the elite teams going into the tournament. Not saying Mulkey wont get us far but this year just isn't the same.

5 star coming out of high school . I’d say she was just a tad overrated

I don't think overrated is the right word. She was one of the top players on the USA U18 FIBA team.

But the word "bust" fits for now. I think the off-season injury played a large part, but she should be 100% by now so that excuse doesn't work anymore.

Eta: She doesn't seem to have the drive/mental aspect to play for Mulkey.

Only remember her playing well against low HS level McNeese.

I think Del Rosario just needs a fresh start somewhere else.

A change of scenery next season would be her best hope.

I noticed that each time she missed a shot or a block when running back she would look constantly at the bench. She might be afraid of CKM and when you are afraid of the coach that is when you mess up more. She certainly should be doing better.

I believe from simply observing that she lost weight between FR and SO years but she is still painfully slow and unathletic. I presume that Gary or another coach works with her after each practice on technique, extra conditioning, and quickness. But from my experience, if you don't really want to get better, and are happy to sit the bench and stay on scholarship and the training table, and can't push yourself to train and improve, you won't.
Stanley Roberts is the best example in history of LSU basketball. He had probably more offensive skills than any big in school history. He had soft hands, could shoot and even create shots. And was dominate when he would turn up the effort dial for a few minutes at a time. But he lost the opportunity to have a long and productive NBA career because he hated weights, running, and couldn't control his appetites. Love the guy but knew there were issues when I saw that it wasn't unusual for him to eat nearly all of a 20 piece KFC orginal bucket plus sides after a Magic game when he was constantly hounded by the training staff to stay on a good eating plan that they designed to allow some of his favorite foods but healthy stuff as well. And his double Achilles tendon tears are probably the fruits of just carrying too much weight. BTW, great guy who is lots of fun to hang and very nice to everyone.

The play in the Texas game in which she missed the easy layup, and then Oldacre beat her down the floor for an easy layup, was the nail in the coffin for her. I can't imagine she'll be back on the team next season. She has a lot of potential but for some reason, this late in the season, she looks like she doesn't want it.
