Nice to hear Fitzroy is a top hire. Just trying to diagnose our Brick Haley run of second place finishes for top recruits

---

This was going on even with Gary

I think some of it is negative PR Kim has and a lot of these HS kids parents are super involved and we know LSU gets negative recruited. That’s why you see lsu consistently land more top portal players where it’s usually the player making these decisions more independently tbh

Just my take.


If there is one thing I think LSU should do is prob cast a little wider net. They sometimes seem to focus on such a small group and some of those recruitments are difficult to pull off from the start so having some flexibility would be ideal.

Obviously there is a lot left to play out and I am not the most privy to the landscape, but I am starting to wish Kim dug deeper to add an elite recruiter to the staff. Perhaps the new assistants will be stronger on the developmental side, something I felt we’ve lacked a little at times.

Anthony Fitzroy brought in lots of top 50 players to a mid Miami program. He is known in the basketball world as one of the most respectable assistants from a recruiting AND developmental coaches. They tried to get coach Gabe but he left. Unfortunately even if stayed it was likely only gonna be for a year as he had been wanting to be a HC for a while and as gotten lots of offers


Page is solid, not sure I would say she is an elite recruiter but she definitely a step up from Daphne Mitchell tbh who really didn’t do a whole lot. Page was a former WNBA post player and has experience coaching Canadian international team works with post players so it’s nice to me having some more help with post player development. I think some of LSUs post issues are more recruiting related but I’m interested to see how they look this year. I heard grace Knox has made a big jump

SC has made major strides with Zaniya fwiw

Qandance on her visit to LSU this weekend.


LSU still in mix for ivanna but Maryland likely still leading being the home team

How much of the "misses" this year would you attribute to losing Redus, if any?

---

LSU missed on plenty of recruits even with Redus. Only one I would say affected was Ashley Macalla but the Koval situation allegedly played a role

She’s 64 it really depends on if she can get the talent or not but you’re not wrong she isn’t well perceived even if what people say is sincerely true or not


The BG saga was more of a university thing than anything but optics matter

Bella left because her dad wanted to bag chase and potentially start. Jada was all money. She is paid twice as much at ole Miss than she was at lsu.


In the end it’s a money game in most sports now. Talent will go where the money is mostly

Also 357, did GG choosing SC catch Mulkey and LSU by surprise?

---

Some stuff behind the scenes but yeah.

GG just posted her impressions from her LSU visit. Seems like it's all positive......................

The visit went well but this also clout chasing when LSU knows they aren’t gonna be the pick


Qandace should be in town this weekend, a top 10 recruit

Time to blow it up
