Her eyes said it all in the uniform photo.
We knew it was an uphill battle though.

She’s still on her UConn visit. Should know something this week.

Must be an “Official” visit because I know for a fact that she was at UConn for the first round of the tournament. Both days.

I get where you're coming from, but what has Janiah really done to justify that kind of money? She's incredibly talented—one of the most gifted I've seen—but it feels like she's already hit her ceiling. Her game hasn't evolved much since high school. Truth is, no one else was going to offer her $500K or more except the place that did.
Now Jersey, on the other hand, may not have come in with the same polish, but her growth is undeniable. She sat out an entire year, then came back and had to learn a brand-new position. That takes resilience and work ethic. I doubt she got anywhere near what Janiah did, but she definitely earned more than most schools were offering—because of how much she’s grown, not just who she was coming in.

They paid Janiah Barker $550k she was a former 5 star coming off the bench. Crazy!

I don’t know the exact number, but they offered more than anywhere else she visited. It wasn’t about money at first—she was looking for a bigger role.

I get the concerns about Fulwiley's mindset, but I think people are underestimating her ability to adjust and grow. She’s still so young, and already showing flashes of elite-level creativity, vision, and control. Her handle is next level—probably the best in the country outside of Hidalgo—and she can create off the dribble in a way few guards can. That kind of skill set screams point guard potential.
As for the “3 SGs” argument, basketball is evolving. Positionless play is the new wave, and a dynamic guard like Fulwiley running the offense with scoring threats like Mikaylah and Flau’jae around her could be a nightmare for opposing defenses. The key isn’t just whether she can defer—it’s whether she can create advantages and read the floor. And from what we’ve seen, she absolutely can. Yes, she’ll have to mature and tighten up her decision-making, but let’s not act like that isn’t part of the growth curve for every young PG.
If she does end up at LSU, I think she could thrive. And with the right coaching and structure, she has the ceiling to become the floor general everyone’s overlooking right now.

I sure thought VT was the better option. I guess Vandy made some promises.. I’ll see what I can find out.

I think she’s done taking visits. Should have an announcement sometime this week on her decision.

Is it just me, or did some of the players in this game seem like they had personal agendas out there? The game didn’t feel like a typical all-star matchup. Something about the energy and the flow felt… off. It came across almost scripted, like certain moments were pre-planned or certain players were being showcased intentionally. All-star games are usually loose and highlight-focused, but this one felt like it had layers—like there was more going on behind the scenes.

Odyssey Sims was a dynamic scoring point guard, known for her aggressive style and ability to take over games—much like what we see from Ta'Niya Latson today. On the other hand, Hines brings a different flair to the backcourt. She’s more of a true shooting guard, with a game reminiscent of Kara Lawson—smart, poised, and efficient—but with noticeably quicker footwork and a faster first step. Of all the players, she’s the one I’m most excited about. Her combination of IQ, speed, and scoring ability could make her a serious problem for opposing defenses.

Bella is NOT a Point. She’s a sniper and crafty ball handler with a great basketball IQ!

I’m not sure they have enough $$$ for her now. Unless she can raise more funds somehow.

USC is moving the needle with Barker.
