Kim Mulkey Hosting Sereh Williams for Visit to Campus

It’s hard to guess on this. I think, to me, if she goes to LSU, it’s for the best. Means she would not have fit in at UConn.

Km just lost 5 players to the transfer portal, four of them were all of the remaining forwards on the roster. Seems….odd

Several LSU women's basketball players have entered the transfer portal, including Sa'Myah Smith, Aalyah Del Rosario, Last-Tear Poa, and Jersey Wolfenbarger. The team also lost Amani Bartlett.

Here's a more detailed look:

• Sa'Myah Smith:
  A redshirt sophomore, Smith was a key contributor during the NCAA Tournament after battling back from a knee injury, reports Sports Illustrated.
  
  
• Aalyah Del Rosario:
  A sophomore forward and former top-10 recruit, Del Rosario struggled to find playing time in her two seasons with LSU, according to NOLA.com.
  
  
• Last-Tear Poa:
  A guard who was part of LSU's 2023 national championship team, Poa is seeking one more year of eligibility.
  
  
• Jersey Wolfenbarger:
  A 6-5 forward, Wolfenbarger's time with the Tigers ended after one season, says NOLA.com.
  
  
• Amani Bartlett:
  A forward who played four seasons at LSU, Bartlett is also entering the transfer portal.

How many times have I seen advice on job search sites for prospective hirees to ask who last held the position they're interviewing for and why that person left? I wonder if Sareh is asking that same question.

Let’s hope her parents or guardians traveling with her are asking all the right questions.

Sarah is in the Transfer Portal herself, so I doubt this question would be asked.

Kim's got two at two different schools in two different conferences in just the last five years or so. If you want to win a nattie you can go to where ever she is coaching and have as much chance of winning one as you would playing for Geno.

To paraphrase a meme from the men's board...

Lsu had one WNBA pick, Aneesah Morrow, and she was a transfer in from DePaul. UConn had 3 and one, Kaitlyn, was a transfer in from Princeton. If you are a GREAT player and really want to go high in the draft, than most anywhere will suffice. If, however, you are a GOOD player and want to be GREAT and be selected in the draft then you go to the Geno Auriemma finishing school.

It is well known among WNBA management and coaches that UConn grads are both well finished and carry a professional attitude. I've had the feeling, feeling only not surveys or stats, that the draft has showed a bias toward athleticism without finishing for several years. Angel Reese would be the poster child for this theory. Like I said, just a feeling.

Che sará sará. (English: Que sera sera)

You may prefer this version. In 1956, filmmaker Alfred Hichcock made a new version of the original he had made in 1934. The song, Que Sera(h), Sera(h) (Whatever Will Be, Will Be) The film starred James Stuart and Doris Day performing the song.

Indeed, but as we all know young people don't always think in such bottomline terms.

I know, just trying to send out some Kelly's Hero's positive waves - and maybe someone has told her to consult the Boneyard for the best sage advise around these days.

If I'm Ms. Sereh Williams, the choice should be easy: Should I pick Dumpster fire LSU or the champion UCONN Huskies...? Which one will prep me better for the WNBA? A pretty easy and logical choice to me.

So just think like the galaxy famous Vulcan Mr. Spock Sereh, his logic would find this one to be an easy decision.

I agree that UConn likely has a better chance at a National Championship than LSU. And UConn would better prepare Williams for a career in the WNBA. But how many years will she likely play in the W? And how much of a reduction in ‘WNBA preparation’ would LSU be?

Now weigh that against the possibility that Glim Milkey might be able to come up with a deep pocket booster who is willing to pay Williams an equivalent of eight years of WNBA Salary to play for One year in Baton Rouge.

Have you all seen the price of Quarterbacks in Collegiate “Amateur” sports?

 

[JellyBean]

I am always impressed with these coaches and their hosting skills and sells pitches. As well as the players and how they fit within a program. I wish Serah all the best on these tours for her talent.

OK, this could get me in big, big trouble. We are still talking about women's college basketball. Almost no one makes that kind of money in WCBB. I will admit though, if Ms. Williams can find it, it's not a bad gig to have.
