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.

Well, Dawn’s funding source is from USAID so anything is possible for her.

Because it didn’t happen. She’s down to LSU, UNC & UCONN.

I think Smith was trying to secure a payday, and honestly, I can’t blame her. After two surgeries, the window is closing, and she knows it. She was smart to try and capitalize on that tournament performance while the spotlight was still on her—strike while the iron's hot, right?
When you've been playing this game your entire life, and you're staring down the possibility that the W might not be in the cards, it makes sense to see who’s willing to pay for the skill set you’ve built. This isn’t just about chasing a dream anymore—it’s about making the most of your moment before it slips away.
Wouldn’t be surprised if she landed somewhere in the $500K range. It all makes sense. Sometimes you’ve got to bet on yourself when the clock’s ticking.

Then you don’t really get to complain when LSU falls behind. Point blank. You either play the game as it is or get left behind while everyone else loads up through the system we’ve got—not the one we wish we had.
Sitting on the sidelines talking about how it “should” be while refusing to support the collective is exactly how you end up watching Bama, Texas, and others stack rosters while we fade. This isn’t about liking the system—it’s about competing in it.
Change will come eventually, but until then, either help LSU stay in the fight or step aside for the ones who will. You don’t get to gripe about outcomes if you’re not willing to do your part.

My guess is a new project or a major brand deal.
re: Serious question on NIL
Posted by Sonofthetruth on 4/12/25 at 2:33 pm
Why was NIL really created?
It wasn’t just about fairness — it was survival.
The NCAA was facing lawsuits, state laws, and public pressure that made the old amateurism model impossible to defend. Athletes were generating billions for schools and networks but couldn’t earn a dime from their own name or image.
NIL gave them that right — and it also helped bring booster payments out of the shadows.
For years, under-the-table deals were an open secret in college sports. Now, with NIL, much of that money flows through legal, more transparent channels.
Everyone was doing it, but some were doing it biggly!! lol

You can thank Alabama(football),all the bluebloods(basketball) and the state of California for it honestly.

Just passing along what I’ve heard. I’m not sure she’d even consider a visit unless it was really enticing. None of those bigs are as athletic as she is—she’d thrive in that conference, no doubt.
That said, given the source, I’m not totally sold on how legit the info is.
Although, to be fair, he did coach her AAU team, so there might be something to it. We shall see.

Not sure that’s even possible—at least not after everything that’s come to light since Mulkey’s email dropped. Lol.
We GOOOODDD over here!
I’ve been hearing some rumblings about Smith possibly visiting TCU. If that’s true, it could be a great fit for her. She’d definitely make an impact there.
