Message: [QUOTE="GoChips20, post: 4950489, member: 11308"] While we wait for the Final Four games tomorrow I thought I’d share some closing thoughts on one of the most discussed teams of the year. All things considered I think this season has to be considered a disappointment for LSU, which is also a testament to how quickly Mulkey has resurrected the program in just three years. The team will look different without Reese and Van Lith but I’d wager that LSU will be better next season than they were this year. They’ll get Sa’Myah Smith back who looked to have taken a huge sophomore leap before her injury and should be ready to slot in for Reese full-time at the 5. Williams will be a beast with a full offseason of college strength and conditioning. I think the team will be better off if they run their offense through Morrow and Johnson more; Flau’jae in particular was pretty clearly their best player over the final third of the season and should be an SEC POY candidate with her shot creation, efficiency, and athleticism. Morrow proved she’s game for the SEC and then some. Whereas Hailey Van Lith never really found her groove on the team, Morrow was a perfect fit for LSU. I also think Poa can be a serviceable starting PG; she’s improved quite a bit since arriving on campus. I’ll be curious to see if they get anyone in the portal where Mulkey has historically attracted great talent with generally excellent results. All in all, 31-6 is a season that 95+% of teams in D1 would be thrilled with. I’m not the biggest Kim fan but she’s revamped LSU faster than anyone could have imagined. Looking forward to following them again next year. [/QUOTE]
