    Of course it will depend on chemistry and PG… the only contributing player they lost was Angel… but they will have rebounding with Smith and Morrow returning and tall Jersey… perimeter, mid range, and Paint points all covered… defense is solid with Johnson, Morrow, and Poa.. IFF they can get chemistry, it’s scary hours.. potentially better than both the 2022 and 2023 teams if the new pieces are firing right

      Agreed. Last year was a circus, that should change. And they turned the ball over too much. Morrow is a defensive liability---to small for the inside, too slow for the outside. SEC ball is different 🙂

    They do have final 4 potential. Flaujae will be a better leader than Reese and everybody will benefit from it. If they can stay injury free i wouldn't be surprised if they finish 2nd in the SEC.

    A potential final 4 team? Seriously? LSU is going to miss Angel Reese more than people realize. FlauJae, Morris and Williams are solid, but beyond those three, I'm not impressed with anyone else on the team. South Carolina, UConn. USC, Notre Dame, Texas and UCLA all have a lot more talent and depth than LSU.

    I don’t se them being better than they were last season especially with Angel gone. They didn’t upgrade their player personnel with more talent they just got more players. None of Del Rosario, Smith or Wolfenbarger can rebound or score like Reese and that leadership she brought will be sorely missed. I don’t think Day Wilson or Gilbert upgrades their backcourt either… they do have some athleticism and speed it’s going to be interesting to see who wins the center position and PG role. Those were glaring misses last year and it’s even more apparent with Reese and HVL gone. I see 4th in SEC and Sweet Sixteen as their ceiling but they could surprise me and be better than that. Time will tell.

What we do know is Coach Kim will work the hell out of them and get the maximum of effort and talent out of all of them and that’s all you can ask.

      @@tjkelly197759 First of all Miss Dawn don’t take anybody lightly, S. Carolina just didn’t have the three point shooters to deal with Iowa. Now first forward to the next year and SC beats Iowa for the chip, why? Because Miss Dawn built one of the best three point shooting teams in the country with the best three point shooter in the country. And one the real reasons we beat Iowa for the chip besides Angel and Alexis was the outstanding three point shooting from Jasmine Carson she was 6 for 6 if I remember correctly and the way we played that championship game it wouldn’t have mattered who we played we would’ve won. So before you try to dilute our first basketball championship (men or women) look at everything that went into that championship game.

    Wassup B2S. Good video. LSU has a lot of questions but simple answers: Sa'Myah coming all the way back? She being ready for opening night? Del Rosario taking a step forward? Who runs the point? Thought they needed another big. If Jersey can play some 4 or 5 then that would be gravy. They had depth/players on the bench last year. Mulkey didn't play them, even in blowouts. Maybe that video you posted of other coaches not having respect for her has some validity. We'll see this year. No celebrity stuff/mess on the team anymore. Flau'jae is the only celebrity but she's focused on playing ball & putting in work as we saw last year. They have depth, guard play, scorers, and as long as their bigs can hold up defensively they'll be as good as anyone.........IF THEY PLAY LIKE THEY SHOULD which they did not do last year.

    LSu does not have to beat South Carolina to win the SEC or to make it to the Final Four. When they won the Championship, Iowa beat USC and LSU beat Iowa in the championship. Annesah Morrow is a better player than Angel Reese and her motor is 10 times higher than Angel. Theynshould have 3-great players in Morrow, Johnson and Williams. Hopefully Smith will come back healthy and show improvment. Hopefully Rosario will be better, she did not transfer like her best friend did, so that tells me she wants to be coached hard. All the transfer know Mulkey won't give them anything. They all have something to prove and they all want to win. That is the only reason you come to LSU and play for Kim Mulkey. She is a HOF coach and won titles at two schools and won multiple titles as a assistant coach at LATECH and as a player at LATECH. LSU just have to get better as the season goes and stay injury free. LSU would have beat Iowa last year if they did not loose Smith with the ACL for the year and Poole to the transfer portal. GEAUX TIGERS.........
