How could you forget Pointer? Aifuwa is no slouch either and honestly is the type of big Kim likes although I felt she didn't fully develop under Nikki. She just needs to finish better near the rim.

I remember Khalya Pointer and Aifuwa of course, but I was asking about the first two names listed in the tweet of recent arrivals (Logyn and Timia).

Oh my bad I read your post the wrong way. both those other girls are incoming freshmen. We have 4 incoming freshmen, Grace Hall, Timia Ware, Amoura Graves and Logyn McNeil. I guess Kim was able to process the other two girls because the incoming class Nikki signed was 6 players. Grace Hall has been on campus rehabbing a knee injury and working out with some of the returning seniors.

Its not a great freshmen class but Hall and Ware were highly regarded coming out of Illinois and had pretty good offer lists.

Eh not really. She supposedly was going to retire from basketball. She was not very highly recruited coming to LSU, she was a walk on anyways. Her brother is no longer at LSU.

I wonder if the new rule about athletes making money changed her mind. Starting tomorrow they can start profiting. If the motivation is to play, then its never gonna happen at LSU despite the connections unfortunately.

I feel for kids of very successful players that choose to play their parent’s sport. While not on the same level I’m witnessing that with someone close to me. The parent was a successful athlete. The child has even better measurements and talent but recently gave up competitive sports as the teenager decided there was other things in life to do. Best of luck to Ms ONeal.

@Dwilliams02

Messer and Rice are pretty good recruiters, and there's also KM. It will be fine! Have faith in KM. You'll need to learn patience as she does things "her way."

Sa'Myah Smith is scheduled to come visit. There aren't any top prospects out of LA this year so everything will have to be out of state pretty much. I actually heard good things about rice (recruiting)

Were all these hires announced? I know Messer's was.

Those aren’t all the hires. Daphne was on the support staff at Baylor and Rice is an assistant although not formally announced yet. They still have one more assistant coach and ops person to hire

So, who is still in line to receive official visits from Sa'Myah? She had previously visited Texas Tech and Arizona. Since LSU was not one of her previous Top 5, I'm guessing someone had to have dropped out to make room for LSU.

That's 3 decent opponents for the team we have now. Hopefully we can pull a good ACC matchup or Big 10

Wait, what? 3? I see 4. Only New Mexico might be suspect.
 
New Mexico had a losing record last year, that isnt a quality opponent. But Missouri State, FGCU, and Iowa State are quality, no they arent "flashy" top 10 teams but considering LSU's talent level, those are good games for us.

I heard LSU was working to get a series with Georgia Tech but not sure if that would happen this season.

The comittee will honor and respect those 3 opponents i agree with SECbbfan
 
Heard Amoura graves is now looking elsewhere. She just went on a visit to Auburn and other local LA schools.

That 6 person class Nikki signed last fall has been reduced to 3. Ironically those 3 were the only ones who had P5 offers when they signed.

Isn't her and TJ Finley a couple. If so, Auburn makes sense for that. Other than that, local schools it is

Yup they are dating.

Roster is now 13 players (12 scholarship kids)
-5 super seniors (Pointer, Aifuwa, Cherry, Ursin, Newby)
-2 Seniors (Payne, Shematsi)
-1 Junior Walk on (Emily Ward)
-2 Sophomores (Gusters, Petty)
-3 Freshmen (Ware, McNeil, and Hall)

Thats a lot of open space next year. I guess the portal will be building the team next season. Since Kim was hired, 5 players who were scheduled to be on the team this year are now gone. Hate to sound mean but it probably needed to be done.
