I believe she has it where she can’t be contacted by schools. To me that means she knows exactly where she wants to go.


Lots of speculation that she wants to leave so she can get more experience ball handling (instead jokes here) and controlling the floor to get ready for the next level. Most people expect her to go to LSU or Iowa with LSU having the edge of Mulkey who has gotten a lot of attention lately for letting her players have big personalities. She also wouldn’t have to share the spotlight with Clark, a high school rival.

Would immediately be the prettiest girl LSU's ever had on their team.

HVL is a Mulkey type of player in regards to how she played. I think that she would be a welcomed addition to LSU or any team for that matter.

Just what I’ve read and heard from sports sites on YouTube. That comment was made several times in the comment sections. As I said, that was the frequent speculation from multiple commentators. I’m certainly no expert and don’t have secret sources.

Watch her YouTube video on her training program. You'll like her even more. Her trainer works her butt off, non stop.

Clark is from Iowa, Van Lith is from Washington state, so not likely they were rivals in high school.

They could have faced each other in AAU tournaments.

HVL & Caitlyn were actually roommates on the USA team.

That link is about the only factor why HVL might consider Iowa. While it wouldn't guarantee Iowa as a tournament favorite bc they have frontcourt issues, but it'd be the best backcourt probably ever assembled.

However, at LSU, she could get a larger NIL, play for the championship-winning coach she almost picked outright last time, play on what would become the decided tournament favorite for her chance at a ring, and wouldn't play second fiddle to another guard. HVL to LSU makes too much sense.

I’d be surprised if she’s not at LSU.

In Starship Troopers, Michael Ironside’s general tells Rico “you’re running the squad until you’re killed or I find someone better”. One has to wonder if coaches outright admit this to recruits - “of course we’ll train you, feed you, board you, help you get a degree! You are our favorite and our program’s future!!! … until a better player says they want to come here. We’ll even promise them they’ll start as an enticement - won’t even be a competition…”

Sure. Virtually every elite player competes against the other elite players in AAU.

I don't think anyone would consider that "high school rivals"

Under no scenario were they high school rivals.

Bird and Taurasi were in the same backcourt.

LSU won the natty, they're going to be the villains regardless. Every sport needs a good heel, I hope LSU embraces it.

isnt HVL the one that Clark was shown on video to tell her "your down 15! Just shut up!" in the Louisville - Iowa game.

Don’t love this new info from Louisville coach

Sounds like heading back West

“Coach Walz on the Deener show says he was not completely taken by surprise when HVL decided to transfer. Adding that it gives her a chance to be closer to home.”

I like Rodgers from Oregon anyway. She is a better fit IMO.
