I join all on this site in hoping that she selects UL, but I fear the focus on recruiting HS kids will no longer be the priority for CJW, or elsewhere. LSU just demonstrated to anyone interested in WBB, that major success will come from the Transfer Portal, and there are two very powerful reasons why:
1. The Portal offers schools much coveted experienced players, something that does not always materialize from those coming out of HS.
2. There are no assurances that successful recruitment of a HS senior will result is their staying for more than a year.
I hate what the NIL & the Portal are doing to amateur athletics, particularly college sports ….. but regrettably it is the new reality that UL and most everyone else is quickly adjusting to.
