That’s why LSU is gonna slip to middle of SEC over next couple yearsIt wasn't very good her last few years at Baylor, either.
Certainly Fulwiley of last season was a much better defender than offensive player.I think, unlike Van Lith, Fulwiley should be able to find other ways to help the team when she is struggling at distributing the ball. Defensively she could be a nightmare matchup if she can stay within the system.
Because her high school recruiting has been atrocious at LSU. Her first 3 HS classes only signed two decent players, Mikaylah Williams and Flaujae, with the rest being not very good players who ended up riding the bench only to later transfer
It's odd to me that Kim Mulkey, who was an elite point guard in her day, seems to have a recurring problem with finding a true point. Sounds like Fulwiley will be on the Van Lith plan, which I thought had mixed results.
Hailey Van Lith’s college finale at TCU proved she can play point guard on a top ten team if not a true contender, but she is limited athletically and that made the SEC a poor fit from the start. Day-Wilson definitely wasn’t successful either but her career was somewhat of an enigma overall, she looked like a future scoring monster her freshman year at Duke and then just never matched that level of performance again anywhere else.For most of the last decade she's basically recruiting via the transfer portal and every year tries to take a SG and convert them to be a point guard:
Chloe Jackson
Te'a Cooper
Khayla Pointer (not a transfer but only 1 year under Mulkey)
Alexis Morris
Hailey Van Lith
Shyanne Day-Wilson
Now Milaysia Fulwiley
She did an incredible job her first few years but the Hailey Van Lith experiment was definitely a fail and so was Day-Wilson this past year. Fulwiley playing point is a bit of a head scratcher to me. She's incredibly skilled but not a good decision maker and putting her at point removes some of her scoring aggressiveness which is one of her biggest strengths. We'll see what happens.
My point was her high school recruiting has been a bit inconsistent which is why they have been a bit overly dependent on the portal but they are far from the only onesYou also missed Sa'Myah Smith who was a solid producer during her time at LSU. This also conveniently ignores the fact that they just signed the #1 class for the upcoming season.
Day Wilson wasn’t bad necessarily as a defender or even in the assist to turnover ratio but her offense was beyond horrific so she hindered the team because she couldn’t make a shot. I believe she averaged like 4 PPG on like 30% shooting getting 30 min a game, that is not good enough at this level.For most of the last decade she's basically recruiting via the transfer portal and every year tries to take a SG and convert them to be a point guard:

I personally don't care for Mulkey(the person) but facts are facts. I expect she'll get at least one or two from 2026 class before all is said and done.You also missed Sa'Myah Smith who was a solid producer during her time at LSU.

Meier (at Miami) converted her into a point guard and that was a good idea because surprisingly she was not much of a scorer which I think was a surprise after her time at Duke.Day Wilson wasn’t bad necessarily as a defender or even in the assist to turnover ratio but her offense was beyond horrific so she hindered the team because she couldn’t make a shot.

This reminds me of her head-scratching statement about "There are five post players every day battling.” referring to the present team. 5?!! Who the heck is she talking about?!!For most of the last decade she's basically recruiting via the transfer portal and every year tries to take a SG and convert them to be a point guard:

Day-Wilson has been considered a point guard since high school. Scoring has been known as her strong suit up until recently. She averaged over 12 points a game when she earned Freshman of the Year honours. When she played for Meier, she averaged just over 11 points a game. The difference is minimal.Meier (at Miami) converted her into a point guard and that was a good idea because surprisingly she was not much of a scorer which I think was a surprise after her time at Duke.
