Dammit.

On the positive side, there'll be significant playing time & development for Koval, Knox and Joyner.
Yep, yesterday. Well, scatch that option. :lol:
Off the top of my head, if you just want another tall body, there's 6-5 Sakima Walker (also from SC) still out there. She almost mirrors Wolfenbarger's (weak) finesse game. However, she was publicly cheering Fulwiley for choosing LSU which pissed off some SC fans and made me smile.
I used to be a logo designer, and the ideal logo should contain simplicity, be readily identifiable, hint at what the business is, preferably with no font/typography.

Example: if Apple Inc. was actually an apple orchid business, the Apple logo would meet all criteria listed above. As iconic & recognizable as the logo is for the company's name, it's only flaw is not conveying that it is a computer/technology company.

I get what the designer was going for as simple of a silhouette of a clipper with its gazillion sails as you can get, and a gesture outline of a basketball encircling the ship. They even further tried to make the basketball a "C" for Clippers.

It all looks like dog shite! A clipper is naturally too busy to be simplified into an identifiable silhouette. The basketball looks more like a rifle scope. The "C" is useless and would never make you think "Clippers". The color is hideously dull.
I recently watched one of Flau'jae's podcasts and that week (7 months ago), her guest was Mikaylah Williams. One of Flau'jae's questions to MK was, "What players from another school would you say you are closest to?"

Mikaylah named Serah Williams.

If Mikaylah being BFFs, Flau'jae specifically flying back into town for Serah's visit, LSU rolling out the red carpet: wine-&-dining her, NIL offer, playing time/position-of-need pitch, etc...if none of that sold Serah on LSU, then it just wasn't meant to be.

It's never the cold water that gets my attention It's the pressure-washing power (on high) that makes me jump. That can feel like I'm being poked with an ice pick.
quote:

We are for sure top 10 now but with her top 4.

Everyone is saying it's down to only two: LSU or UConn.

Despite the visit to NC, there is no recent buzz whatsoever re: Serah & the Tar Heels.

Edit: Sorry, misread this as "LSU in the top 10 race to get Serah, but now is in the top 4". Now, I see you were talking Serah's impact on ranking.
quote:


I realize she was at UCONN this past weekend.

Where are you seeing that report? By all accounts that I have read, the visit is expected to come sometime this week, but even UConn fans are still asking when.

I never heard of a haphazard gathering of reporters as a "hit". I always thought that was called a "gaggle"? :dunno:

Now, I've heard of biased/slanderous journalism called a "hit-piece", but I've never heard of a journalist that writes them called a "hit". Am I misreading/ missing context?
Have tissues ready. The ending will cause some Voluntears.

re: Who here has been totally broke?

Not totally broke, but got down to $500 to my name in 2014 with rent/bills due while my car engine burned up on the Causeway Bridge during rush-hour, on my way to put in a job application. I've never felt so vunerable.

I promised I'd never watch my savings whittle down that low again, if only not to ever burden my caring parents/sibling (car/rent/food loans) due to my assinine decision to job procrastinate. Got a job, repaid loans, got a new ride and have been breaking personal savings records with each paycheck for the past 10 years.
quote:

2026 I’m pretty sure they want to sign Autumn Fleary, Edwards/Vukosa (at least one of those), Chamiah Francis and maybe one other guard/wing (Abii, Trinity Jones, Olivia Jones, Robinson)

If they do take a guard/wing, I'd take any one of those listed, but Abii just feels like a fit with her outstanding game & effervescent personality. Almost like Flau'jae in MK's body. Plus, she's from Texas and has already visited.

If I had to choose between Vukosa & Edwards, hmm..IDK. Two different styles, two incredible talents. Edwards is so athletic. I know she visited Dawn & SC and just looks like a Watkins/Feagin type. I kind of want that type in the post for LSU. Yet Vukosa looks big, versatile and polished. Plus there's the Bella Hines ties. Too damn hard to choose.
quote:

Olivia is also close with Bella Hines and they roomed together during one of the tournaments they played together in. Bella had an IG live with her and several were saying to bring her to LSU. She stayed pretty tight-lipped but said we were definitely in contention.

Great info. After hearing that she tries to study Breanna Stewart, considering they are the same 6-4 height, now I can't unsee the similar moves and shot selections.
Speaking of 2026 & Bigs, I’m curious if you’ve heard anything here: I just came across this tweet that #4 overall 6-4 PF/C Olivia Vukosa narrowed down her 16 schools to 7 and it includes LSU.

I did a mini-YT dive and she says she patterns her game after Breanna Stewart. Has Croatian heritage but speaks like an American playing at Christ the King in NY.

Says she wants a coach who she feels comfortable going to whenever necessary as she knows she will be away from her mom. Says her major would likely be in the medical field, likely pediatrics.

Realistically, Kim only needs 5 starters, 5 backups, 1 reserve backcourt, 1 reserve post (both reserves as season-ending injury insurance). Anything else is 100% transfer fodder.

Excluding blowouts, Kim generally uses 8, max 10, during SEC & Tournament play, so even keeping 12 is pragmatically too much to spread minutes satisfactorily.

Unfortunately, I can see a Gilbert or Richard jumping in the November portal like Timia Ware did mid-nonconference schedule.

re: Birdie flew from the nest

For clarification for those confused, Don Staley always posts "A birdie just flew into the nest" on X when she gets a commitment or signee to South Carolina. The OP is making a reverse reference to that with Fulwiley fleeing the nest.
He didn’t have the chest. Just the belly.
quote:

They are saying on X that she signed on 4/17… Williams visited knowing Fulwiley was coming


Good point. If Williams doesn’t pick the good gals, I’m confident Mulkey did everything she could.
On the positive side, Taysom Hill broke his shoulder and tore both of his ACLs at BYU. Yet he’s been relatively heathy in the NFL (up until last year). So players with injury history in college can rebound in the NFL. Fingers crossed ??

Starting to wonder if she came in yesterday and everyone is just a day behind


According to ON3 senior wbb reporter, Fulwiley signed last week!
