As a Pennsylvanian, would love to see Campbell choose a PA school. Pitt would be my first choice, but Penn State is on a better trajectory and I do like Kieger.

Penn State seems like an obvious choice given that she grew up nearby.

And the first two players Niele signed were Miles and Citron who play the same positions as Hayes and Campbell.

Campbell got almost zero opportunity after the first two games. It was almost shocking how little she got to play. I've legit seen walk-ons get substantially more run.

ND was trying to recruit Clark while Hayes had already committed so being recruited over should not have been a shock. But I can see how the degree to which Miles immediately (and rightfully, imo) got more opportunities than Hayes ever had might have upset her.

Abdur-Rahim is the one that mildly surprised me because she was always going to be a project that would play little her first couple years.

Not surprising. Each of these young ladies largely sat the bench, and it’s not like the 20-21 Irish squad was performing so well on the court that some game time would have hurt.

Huge loss for Seton Hall:

To be fair though, if not for the covid waiver, she wouldve been done this year?

I would classify these grad transfers in some different category -- They gave 4 years to their original school and then were given an extra year at basically the last minute, and they're using it to get an extra year of BB and a free year towards a grad degree elsewhere.

She played at Syracuse too so Seton Hall was not her original school, but I get your point.

Continuing the family theme today : any relation here ?

I’d love to see her in the Big East so she and Anna could play against one another!
 
Rumor has it that LSU player Awa Trasi has entered the portal. Averaged 7.7 points and 4 rebounds a game.

I heard that earlier today. Also 1-2 more supposedly have requested as well, not sure if they are officially in the portal yet

Well regardless of who enters the portal from LSU. Next year's team will be rough to watch. It was Pointer, Aifuwa.......gap... Then Tiara Young... After that the margin is wide for the rest of the team. Now I do think Dom Davis and Payne have potential... But no one can replace Aifuwa.

They better dig in that portal.
 
It might be best if LSU has a lot of transfers and brings in a new coach. Sometimes starting from scratch does a program wonders. It’s not like the current roster is legitimately competing for anything.

Agreed. The can afford to get a legitimate up and coming coach. The louisiana players can stay though. They are talented. Just need a coach to bring it out

It all needs to be blown up and start over. They need someone who can recruit and has a more modern offensive philosophy. Nikki's offense is completely stale and her system literally does not work at all unless you have superior players (talent), which we don't have. You can play D until you are blue in the face but the game is to put the ball through the hoop. Your top teams will do that no matter how good your D.

Top 4 recruiting classes that year were Tennessee, UCONN, Texas and Louisville. All 4 UCONN kids left, all 3 Texas kids left, 2/3 Louisville kids left, and 2/4 Tennessee players left, making it a 3/14 (21.4%) success rate that a player would stick through their program until their senior season for the top 4 classes.

I definitely agree. It seems like we cannot snag any top flight recruits. Especially in the post. With how the inequality of treatment the women's gotten recently. I would think our AD would focus on the women's team as well. I mean it's really time to start over. LSU has the resources to afford to start over and recover quickly.

Overall I agree
 
Timing is everything. I think you need to have a coach in mind before you start the process or you're doomed to repeat the scenario all over again. You must not only get a very good coach but a very good recruiter as well. Luckily, now is a good time (if you pull the trigger soon enough) with the portal so abundantly full of players that could help you turn a program around quickly (with the right coach of course!). You won't get much in the way of 2021 OR 2022 recruits but you can start working on the 2023 class. Good luck!
