Serah Williams to LSU?

Status
Not open for further replies.
Reed Darcy (staff writer for NOLA) reported one hour ago that LSU has three transfers in: Koval, Joyner and Fulwiley. This would tend to indicate that there has been no official commitment from Serah. Later in the article he poses a question regarding of how Fulwiley will fit in with Johnson and Williams. Since his article clearly states that there are three in transfers, one would have to conclude that he is referring to Mikaylah Williams, not Serah. This may have a point of confusion for someone.
 
Maybe it wasn't confirmed by our variety of experts but I thought
she was in Storrs for the first NCAA game?

Whether or not that was true I'm encouraged that it looks like
she will be on campus next week. She would be a valuable
pick-up regarding the [lucky] number 13th.
 
Perhaps someone - mistakenly? - translated "visiting" into "committed" and social media in all its "never let the facts ruin a good story" elegance did the rest...
 
BoneYarders please remember the comments during Sarah Strong's recruitment!
Most felt she would sign with someone else, possibly NoCar!
Then lo and behold Sarah announces she's chosen UConn and that been her choice all along!
Before we cut our wrists let's wait till Serah visits UConn next week and see where she goes!
I love the UConn approach in talking about the "whole" person not just the BB player.
Nursing, success in fields other than BB, then UConn grads staring in WNBA, and overseas, and the success other Canadians have found in UConn, Kia Nurse, Aaliyah Edwards, etc.
I want her as much as anyone but I think Geno and staff and team will seal the deal!

To clarify, Serah's American but played in Canada. She will definitely be aware of the examples, but not from a fellow countrymen perspective.

It depends on who you are, but yes this has been the policy at times.

It's probably a good strategy for Mulkey and other coaches who regularly lose 5-6 players per year to the portal to delay the announcement of new signings until AFTER the portal closes. Players who otherwise WOULD HAVE left had they known of the late signings are not stuck with no ability to change schools except under very specific circumstances. Not sure I'd call it ethical, but in the current world of college sports, that word is applicable anymore.

Don't tell me to "do better." I reported an article that mentioned, in passing, that Serah Williams was one of 4 players LSU has landed: "Fulwiley is LSU's fourth addition from the portal, joining Kate Koval, Serah Williams and Amiya Joyner." I said I had not found a story about it elsewhere, and said it would be sad for us, if true. IF!

Serah Williams' name has been removed from ESPN's Kendra Andrews article. If you go back to look, it's now written: Fulwiley is LSU's third addition from the portal, joinining Kate Koval and Amiya Joyner.

I don't think we definitely need Serah Williams: she would be a good addition, and nice to have as an option, but I don't see her as a necessity.

You don't? So which would you rather have?
8.6 ppg 7.4 rebs 2.7 asst. 1 blk. 1.1 stL
Or
19.3 ppg. 9.3 rebs. 2.4 assist. 2.3 blks. 1.1 stls
Those are the combined stats from Ice and Janna compared the Serah. Not only do we need her, she'd start and play major mins. She'd be a Great addition! The team lost a lot of offense and she's got it, if you like defense she's got it, If you want rebounds she gets em and she'd add athleticism to the 5 spot. No doubt.

Don’t get me wrong. I’d like to see Serah come to Storrs too. But the comparison you lay out here doesn’t speak to the question of need. Geno just proved he could win an NC with Jana and Ice. That makes it difficult to argue for a need. Your data comparison only shows that Serah would be a nice addition. I hope she chooses UConn.

Auriemma won it WITH those two but not BECAUSE of them. He won it because of Bueckers. The need for Williams is to help replace the production of Bueckers with her inside scoring and defense. Williams provides more of that than El Alfy and Brady combined.

This is fair to say. But it is at best a speculative argument for a supposed necessity. Other sources to replace Paige’s production are already in place, and my saying so is equally speculative.

I don’t want to fuss about the distinction between a need and a nice addition, since all of us agree that we’d like to see Serah come to Storrs. We can all guess at ways Serah might contribute, just as we might for Blanca or Caroline or Ayanna. And I’m sure some of us think Serah’s record makes her seem more likely to contribute. But none of this amounts to a necessity.

good to see... that's why I said "if" :)
 
The beauty of the 24/7 sports coverage. One of the UConn podcast crews were having this whole discussion of Serah, and they were confused with this whole Serah LSU/UConn/UNC trip. I just thought that it was funny because UNC came out of nowhere! I knew LSU was on the radar and UConn was in the conversation, but UNC makes it interesting. Whatever program she picks, I just hope that she keeps that same drive she had at Wisconsin.

So, you think Jana and Ice's ppg average will not improve. Don't underestimate them. Plus, UConn has Morgan, Allie, Caroline and Blanca for next season. Jana and Ice will improve.

Jana will improve but Serah would make them stronger. Brady is a question mark she doesn’t rebound at all so another impact big would be huge and give Strong more space.

Wishing and hoping here.

If UConn was able to get Serah it would give them a “super big” option with Jana at the 5, Serah at the 4, Sarah at the 3, Azzi at the 2 and KK at the 1. Geno could do damage with that lineup.

If you want to go super super big, you could have a play or two where Cheli is at point with this group.
