Anyone have guesses? Cards, uk or L$U?
I obviously hope she chooses UofL. I think the $$$$ L$U is probably promising may be too much to pass up.
 
I don’t know but I hope it is Louisville she is a great player and she is a local. If she chooses to stay home and play for the Cardinals she could become as beloved as Darrell Griffith has been since 1980. She also has to consider Coach Jeff Walz has been proven to do well in the tournament.

Kenny Brooks at sUcK has not done so well even though he has had some great players. He had 6’6” Elizabeth Kitley and a great supporting cast but he has not been able to do much with great talent. LSU has a nut job of a coach who has done well at Baylor and now LSU but she is off balance. Playing for her would be stressful.

WE HAVE TO GET HER !!!!! Best local talent in years. If it's about money, match whatever we have to, and raise it once she signs.

It's a damn shame, but don't worry, she will probably be in the portal after this season.

These days there's no reason to fret losing HS recruits because each season, an experienced, more talented player could choose your school.

I think these top players, especially in the women's game, know they can just leave and go somewhere else each season.
 
She made her choice when a local turns down the home town school who has one of the top programs in the country I am done with them. If she doesn’t like it at LSU I don’t want her transferring here she can go somewhere else.
 
Sadly; I did not leave college sports …… it left me!

I have been on record as expressing my opinion that HS recruiting is no longer the key to success in College Sports, and frankly WCBB is the “poster child” for that position as there are only 5 players that any team can have on the floor at one time. It should be evident that having an experienced D1 college player with a strong resume coming out of the Portal is likely to have more impact than an incoming HS graduate.

I will acknowledge that Portal cannot be effective by itself, as every school will still need to utilize the HS a recruiting path to some degree, but last year’s UL class is more likely the model that Jeff will be following in order to remain a top ACC contender.
