Message: [QUOTE="Baller29, post: 5312501, member: 13527"] To be fair LSU was even smaller last year With morrow at 6’1 and Samayah at 6’2 (she also got abused by every competent big. Jersey was way too soft in the interior and ADR wasn’t even playable. No one is replacing morrow but I actually think collectively this group will work much better for mulkey than last years (Koval, Joyner and Knox). Koval will give better rim protection and D than Samayah but she needs significant development offensively. That is what she struggled with at ND I think LSU will be fine. It’s likely another elite 8 team again. They are deficient in post depth imo to be in final four unless they get hot. Last year their bench was only Gilbert. If one of the 4 five star freshman can’t contribute then coaching is failing big time Zakiyah and Knox 100% gonna play, not sure about the other two freshmen. And while I agree recruiting rankings don’t always translate, I feel fairly certain this class will prob be much better than that 2023 class. Anyone who watched ADR out of Hs knew she was a major project so I never understood her ranking. Jane and Velez were not what I consider top recruits. Zakiyah and Knox should do just fine imo. I’m pretty high on Zakiyah, I’m shocked she left the state of KY [/QUOTE]
