I’d agree in part with this but I’d attribute it to no vocal leaders on the court. Of course that might have been what you meant. Coach Mulkey’s team seem to be best when she has a vocal point that is also one of the best players on the team.

Sorry about that. You are correct, I meant vocal leaders. Flau'jae is great at leading by example but she can get pretty quiet and fade to the background when things are not going their way.

Honestly, one thing we never mention about Reece was her leadership on last year's LSU team. She was top tier at being both a vocal lead and a leader by example. That void is very noticable this season. I believe a lot of their current leaders are not very vocal people on the court (Flau'jae, Morrow, Williams, etc.).

I agree with that. A Reese was a force of nature with her personality and talent. Part of her game with the offensive rebounding even nullified one of the strengths of A Morrow. She even overshadowed H Van Lith’s personality. That isn’t a criticism of A Reese either. Regarding this season, this team would be much better if H Van Lith had stayed.

Great points. Reese definitely has a personality that can overpower others but I see it as passion which is important in being successful at this level.

Regarding Hailey Van Lith, I go back and forth on this. Haven't seen enough of TCU, but from what I have watched their offence seems like a better fit for her. I'm not sure if she would have gotten the opportunity to run the offence like that at LSU. My opinion is based more on gut feeling however.
