LSU Had four big time recruits at the South Carolina game last night. Interestingly, all four also have offers from South Carolina. I’m curious how the recruits are feeling afterwards.

Caroline Bradley feels like an LSU lock at this point, but no guarantees. She also has South Carolina in her top 10.

Kaleena Smith has a ton of offers, including South Carolina and UConn. I don’t think she comes here.

Zaniya Johnson is a big body that we can desperately use.

Kie'Aundria Acree also seems like an LSU-type recruit personality-wise. She said she had a great visit and was offered while here.

I’ve been at LSU for three years and have been incredibly underwhelmed for most games except Ole Miss last year. I’m not sure if it’s a result of the BK era or what. I wish I could have experienced it in the early 2000s.

In two years we will be talking about retention because so many of this year's freshmen are not college ready and will be dropping out.

From the academic side, retention has already being a major topic of discussion. It’s also (ironically) a reason for increased acceptance rates.

Jacy Abii commits to Notre Dame. Tough loss as she would have replaced Flau’jae next season. Kelsi Andrews is set to announce her decision on Tuesday.

2027 guard Madi Mignery was on campus today. She posted on her IG story with Redus.

Olivia is also close with Bella Hines and they roomed together during one of the tournaments they played together in. Bella had an IG live with her and several were saying to bring her to LSU. She stayed pretty tight-lipped but said we were definitely in contention.

Why weren’t there any significant adjustments to the offensive game plan, or attempts to change personnel—such as giving a new quarterback a chance mid-game—especially when it was clear that Garrett Nussmeier was not able to execute? If all possible measures were taken and the team still failed to execute, what does that reveal about the coaching staff’s mindset and adaptability?

I get the anger from fans. But as someone who has coached for many years, there are certain things that take time to establish. At the end of the day, we have a first year starting QB and our best RB is a freshman. A lot of our defense is young as well, with a new DC and staff teaching them. Plus they are out there and see these guys every single day in practice when we see them once a week for 60 minutes. If other players were truly outperforming these guys weekly, they’d probably be getting more looks.

I’m not excusing the poor play, just saying try not approaching it from the pov of a fan for a minute. Ultimately, we may just not be a very talented team. We lost to a bad USC team, struggled against UCLA most of the game, honestly should have lost to South Carolina and Ole Miss, then got exposed by A&M and Bama. The one game we looked good in was Arkansas, but they are a mediocre team who lost to OK St, and struggled against UAB and Auburn. They pulled out a big win against UT but that was it.

Wnba's requirements--bachelor's degree and be 22 years old.

Per the WNBA: “The league requires domestic draft entrants to be at least 22 years old during the year in which the draft takes place and to have no remaining college eligibility or to renounce any future college eligibility.”

She was born in November 2003, so she turns 21 this November. That means technically she would turn 22 “during the year in which the draft takes place.” I have no clue about her academics but it’s possible she could graduate early. I don’t think she will, I’m just saying if she’s in a position academically, she could.

Yeah, it’ll show up tomorrow. Student tickets do that all the time.
