Really outside of Smith, Lewis, and Egbo, the Baylor roster was a little short on talent, the talent in Texas doesn’t appear that strong in the 2022 class, Kim has had success getting players from the SEC area.
 
Cardoso follows both LSU basketball programs

yes I know it’s probably a pipe dream but someone noticed it

Cardoso isn’t that active on social media, going to high school in Tennessee, I would think it’s normal that she would be following a lot of SEC schools, if someone can point out when she started following some of the accounts she follows would probably mean more.

The players seem disappointed. Not sure who will follow her. But I'm with you on Calling Cardosa. Then maybe try to get some guards.

Calling Cardoso was probably the first thing she did once she decided to take the LSU offer. She needs a BIG, and had nothing to lose by checking her status (mind set) at this time. Maybe Kim can offer her a better "mouse trap" than UConn. No harm in trying. :rolleyes: Who knows, maybe Kamilla likes Cajun cuisine.

If Cardoso really wants a good chance at winning a championship, UConn is the school she will pick.

Maybe I'm biased (as in, yes I am biased) but Kim's high-wattage and colorful personality is a far better cultural fit at LSU than Baylor.

Geaux Tigers.

And so begins a new era in LSU WCBB. She's bring hope energy and excitement to that program. Fan attendance for home games is guaranteed to increase next season. LSU's sports marketing department will have a field day this summer and fall. It won't take Kim long to make LSU WBB relevant. With transfers from the portal and recruiting her own players, I'd say 2 years at the most. I wonder if any LSU players have entered the portal or will do so.

That's a fair statement. Odds are UConn will win a NC before LSU does. ;)

LSU, South Carolina, and Mississippi State fans make their own thread on this board lol. SEC making everything about them... lol. That tends to happen a lot so I'm not surprised.

They all get threads, but not a Duke or HPU thread to be found.

You can have Gusters transfer in, she seems to fit the physique of most of the SEC centers.

N. Smith is pretty devastated by Kim leaving, would she follow her though? She is a senior, unless they are a grad transfer, its usually odd to see seniors leave.
 
From the press conference in terms of staffing, Kim will be looking to hire 2 assistant coach (Brock and Messer aren't coming with her it seems)
Staffing that will come to LSU
-Kaylin Rice (Assistant Coach)
-Johnny Derrick (Assistant AD/Operations)
-Jennifer Roberts (Coordinator of Operations)
-Daphne Mitchell (Assistant Coordinator of Recruiting and Operations)
-Jordin Westbrook (Associate Director of Operations)

Ya never know about Brock and Messer. She said twice that her staff is NOT complete. I took it as maybe if they are vying for the Baylor job and she may get whoever gets the short straw? I dont know. We shall see.

Besides the obvious grammar, I am confused about the phrase “pickup game” conjoining with “no trainers, no workouts”? My understanding of pickup games is going down to where others are playing basketball, pick sides and start playing. If you are stating you need trainers and structured workouts, that to me, is an organized practice, albeit “loosely managed” but still organized. And yet it not only does it sound like she’s complaining, she also seems completely clueless that the major upheaval that is occurring would affect these “organized, yet loosely managed pick up games”. Seems a tad entitled and immature. Talented yes, savvy no.
 
If she was able to lure in Cardoso, and get Smith & Lewis to follow, she would have LSU up and running this season. A very big ask, but with the portal, weirder things have happened

Messer is interviewing for the job. I suspect she will go with Kim if she doesn't get it (Messer is a great recruiter). I'd be surprised to see Brock move to BR. He's old enough to retire and enjoy his family. He is attached at the hip with one of his grandkids, so I don't see him leaving.
 
I’ll bet at this writing, Kim already has her staff. Remember she told her son she was leaving a week before she made the announcement. She knew who she wanted and no doubt got commitments from them soon thereafter.

Their first order of business will be to fill out their roster. Find out who’s leaving, who’s staying, and what holes they need to fill. Looking at their 20-21 roster, unless their senior post player comes back for a 5th season, their tallest player will be 6-2. That’s why Cardoso looks so attractive to them. She’s in the portal, and they desperately need some height. I think it’s fair to say she‘d be a starter game 1.

Cardoso can certainly take her time in making her final decision, but if her choice is between 2 programs, one wonders what’s the delay. The difference between the two is like night and day. Nothing is going to change in the next 60-90 days unless Auburn gets more players via the portal. I don’t think UConn will be getting any. They‘re holding steady at 14.
