She should have stayed at Louisville and help them get further in this 2024 NCAA Tournament. Her WNBA draft status would have remained high with Louisville.
Absolutely. She wasted a complete year. For whatever reason, she wasn’t the same player she was at Louisville. No big time program will probably want her unless they can figure out what happened at LSU. It’s really shocking that Mulkey was a PG and unable to get a better performance out of her. She played like the stage was too big for her. But, she shouldn’t be down on herself for not being able to contain Clark because nobody can really guard her one-on-one. Mulkey didn’t have a good game plan. Clark’s going to get her’s so you have to contain her teammates which they didn’t. It’s going to be interesting to see how UCONN plays them.
There was something that happened between her and Jeff Walz. You could see the tension in her from about 2/3 the way through the previous season, Watch when he goes to give her a hug. She tenses up every time. Her going to LSU was an obvious mistake. But I believe she felt that she had to go somewhere else than Louisville. If they didn't already have a million guards and no available scholarships, I'd say UConn. If for no other reason, she needs to regain her joy. And all the UConn players appear to really enjoy being around each other not just on the court, but off the court as well. Where ever she goes from here is now more than a basketball decision. I believe she needs to make a life decision that she can live with one year, five years, 10 years down the road.
@@buzzard6410 Very good comment. Following her junior season at Louisville, Van Lith entered the transfer portal as a graduate transfer. ESPN rated her as the top transfer in the nation. I suppose she has one year left of college eligibility. Wherever she goes, I wish her well. She seems like a very nice person. She'll find a top program to play for.
You sound like a hater didn’t know what put a gun to Haley’s head for her to come to NSU she made that choice on her own. She wanted to play you sound like a hater didn’t know what put a gun to Haley‘s head for her to come to NSU she made that choice on her own. She wanted to play point guard and she came to an lsu to learn the game but it didn’t work out that way for her. I wish her well whatever she goes. She steal a wonderful player, but please don’t make it seem like it was all LSU. Fault please
Offense sucked. Defense sucked. Really can't hang with elite guard play. Needs to get back to a lesser school and excel at off-guard. LSU was trying to groom her for her likely WNBA position. Massive failure. Best of luck to the young lady.
Only problem was her position. She was playing PG which is her first season playing at that position. She was a beast at Louisville and would’ve gotten a WNBA position their but she needed better bigs
Before joining LSU, Van Lith spent three seasons with the Cardinals under Jeff Walz. Van Lith led Louisville to the 2022 Final Four as a sophomore and then the Elite Eight last season. As a junior, Van Lith averaged 19.7 points per contest along with 4.5 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.5 steals. She was named a First Team All-ACC selection in 2022 and 2023.
She shouldn't change teams, she needs to switch to the 2 and play off faster players. She is too slow for her height. She should be faster than the taller girls but she isn't. That's not a coaches fault. That's not her fault, it just is what it is....
@DrShake-wy1dg well there is no where else to put her. Her feet are to slow to guard the point. She averaged 11 pts. He opponents average 17 pt per game against her..
@TruthtellerToMitches4888 BUT SHE CAN'T GUARD 2s! ANYONE, in elite Women's/Girl's basketball will tell you this. She was thoroughly exposed ALL season, playing in the SEC
I think she should have stayed at Louisville. I never thought the point guard and playing for lsu was a good fit for her. It almost seemed like that some of her teammates didn’t like having Hailey van Lith on the team.
I was thinking about that. She’s Hailey Van Lith. It’s not like she’s just nothing because she had a bad year. She’ll be fine regardless of what happens with basketball.
She was asked to guard Clark who is six feet tall. No double teams or perimeter help. This was a coaching error in my opinion. She needs to go someplace where she feels comfortable. Perhaps she should look for a coach who can better utilize/develop her skill set. She is a good person. I don't think she likes a lot of drama.
Horrible hit piece. You should be embarrased for this. Indiana University and coach Teri Moren would be happy to have Hailey join the Hoosiers for her final college season
Haley Van Transfer Portal is a perfect example of a ring chaser. She thought she could ride Reese’s coattails to a ring but instead got exposed as a terrible defender and awful point guard.
You can say that about point guards in the NBA in regards to defense. She is a prototypical old school point guard. You can tell by the way she moves and her handles she is a good player for sure. If you need her on your team to win games I think that is a far stretch. She is going to give you what all the old school point guards gave you. Would quickness and getting stronger help for sure
I think Haley VanLith is a very good player and I think that she was frustrated all year in the role Kim Mulkey tried to force her into... As far as the Iowa game that's on Kim Mulkey... She should have had a longer defender on Caitlin Clark... She was giving up about 6 inches to arguably the best scorer ever in womens basketball.... I respect Haley VanLith for her honesty and courage and I sincerely wish Haley the best in her future....
I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American and male. So, while Wenatchee/Cashmere, Washington is a good 125 miles from Seattle, we know her up here. We all hear how Caitlin Clark will face racial hatred in the WNBA. How much of the unwelcomeness to Hailey by her LSU teammates, racially charged? Like Caitlin Clark, Hailey is good, White, pretty, clean cut, and I'm pretty sure Hailey is heterosexual. Oh, my ex-wife (wonderful woman, we just grew apart) is Black/Cherokee/White, and our daughter turns 11 in 2024, so I'm not hateful. My daughter gets racially taunted, as she's growing up in Bellevue, Washington (upscale suburb of Seattle), but that's a different story.
She didn't have a good game, Caitlyn is taller and quicker. Don't put all the blame on her, Coach Kim needed to make necessary changes to try to slow down Iowa. To me, she shoulders most of the blame.
Rumors are she is a good kid but clearly not smart. LSU was a terrible decision if her goal was to go win a Finals...odds of back to back Championships are statistically zero. There was a team that needed a ball handling guard and that was Iowa. If Iowa had even one top 20 player to take a small load off her, Iowa wins this tournament with ease.
HVL was guarding Clark? I haven't see anyone"guard" Clark in any game this year..😂..by design of course...All I've seen is Clark behind the 3ball line wide open for every shot..imagine that..We'll see the same thing against Uconn because Iowa will not be eliminated from the tournament...Clark brings to many ratings and to much money for that to happen...Wouldn't be surprised if NC State"beats" SC either..
When I read she was transferring to LSU - I thought damn that’s unfair (because of what she did at Louisville). I have no clue what happened. She scored 20 pts a game last NCAA Tournament - this year she scored 7-11 pts. I thought Kim Mulkey would have saw a little bit of herself in her. Every time I watched LSU play - especially against Iowa - Hailey couldn’t get hit a shot.
Haley wad a little ill during the last game against lowa. She could have been on steroids and Caitlin would have still dropped 40. Coach Mulkey should have started with Fla'jae on Caitlin. Then change if Fla'jae got into foul trouble. You have to play Caitlin tight and force her to go left. When she shoots the long distance shots she pushes off with the left hand. She does it all the time. Her passes are usually good if she is able to see the entire court. You can steal the ball from her if you look close on her dribble.one thing about the ladies game is they give up the baseline all the time. Anyone can drive when that happens. Hayley must really work on her outside shot. She was really exposed as a point guard. She also is not that quick. She does have her undergrad degree and completed one year of her masters. She is not going to be a WNBA high draft pick this year or next. Well, to the transfer portal. She'll do ok. Good luck and God bless.❤❤
I've watched every game #22 has played over the past 2.5 years. I disagree that she pushes off 'all the time' when she pulls up for a 3-pointer. She seems to use it like some NBA players. MJ comes to mind...that push of Byron Russell...definitely a push, but not egregious and as a result, not a foul.
Caitlin’s deceptively quick. You have to watch how she sets her feet. Steph Curry is the same way. Although I feel she’s more of a Pete Maravich style ballplayer.
Where does this apply? Are you just using "woke" as a buzzword dogwhistle to insult her for playing with black players? And how does "broke" apply to the black players in question when they have NIL deals bigger than most WNBA contracts?
I wish Hailey Van Lith the best. She was as big a star as Paige Bueckers and Caitlin Clark when she was in High School. in fact, Kobe was very fond of HVL and would take Gigi to watch her play and mentor them both.
same thing happened to mikaylah williams. that girl was hot in the beginning of the season. i think it really has something to do with mulkey's coaching style.
I'd say the Elite Eight isn't a disaster. Out if every school in the nation mind you. I think she can hold her head up and that her people are pretty proud of her. She's good.
No one told me I just happened to run across a Caitlin Clark game, and it drew me into all their games, I did start to look at others I may have missed. I know talent I was raised in philly at the start of Dr. J, and the Gene Banks and Clarance Tillman Era in philly. I can tell you hands down two games don't make a difference, that is called a 1 off. If you take the average of 50 games, then Hailey Van Lith is a world-class champion, hands down. The people that dislike her are jealous, and the people that post negative things are wrong. This is a young lady almost out of high school trying to find her way in this world. Gove her the space. People need to be respectful of this young lady. I can tell you, I hope UCLA picks her up, I'm only an 8 minute walk to Pauley Pavillion. She will be the one to watch in 2024-2025. She is an amazing young, talented woman. If you have nothing nice to say about her, and you're pissed off, the go to a Joe Biden Website and vent your frustrations and negativety over there. Keep doing your best Hailey, you will never fully know, but you watched and loved by millions, so you are way ahead of the game, me I'm loved by under 5 people, but that does matter. I'm happy. May you have a great upcoming season
I think Hailey would’ve done well in Louisville than LSU. LSU is a talent loaded after UConn got theirs. Hailey won’t be a top player, BUT is good with a team like Louisville that can allow perimeter shots and great three ball scoring opportunities. Otherwise, she needs to work on her quicker 3-pt release and step back 3-pt ball similar to do well next years draft.
Much too harsh man. Hvl had problems fitting in into this team of Maniacs with a dictator coach making her play a new position. This girl has charisma and a likability factor that's off the charts but I don't think her teammates like there I don't think her coach liked her. If she can't transfer to Iowa USC or UCLA where she could train at the Mamba academy all year round if she played in Southern California next season I hope she goes back to Louisville repairs the damage there shoots the ball 20 times a game averages 25 points a game and sets everything up for her pro career. Hailey has to go where she can shoot the ball 17 to 20 times a game. Shooting the ball only 10 times the game this season really set her back and broke her confidence.
I'm no Mulkey fan but she and her team did not walk off the floor when the anthem played. They were already back in the locker room doing through their normal routine when the anthem was played. It's scary that you are advocating for people being fired from their jobs for not standing for the national anthem.
@@DMacMN Sadly, the definition of that word has become a lightning rod catching the ire of so many. The word has been usurped by politicians feeling like they hold the corner on the market of what the word means conceptually.
Many won't believe this but I called this before the season started. She has no explosiveness and thus can't create her own shot which is a must. Can't expect a team to set 2-3 picks each play. Plus these games now emphasize transition offense/defense.. She doesn't seem to have the speed for that...her perimeter shooting isn't lights out enough. I predict another sub par year ajd possibly not being drafted nest year...she may have peaked at Lville
Should have went to USC to play the Pao Pao role but didn’t give Dawn a chance. Better overall guard talent and she would not have had as much pressure to perform. Also Kim was a pg to and won at La Tech. As a player should couldn’t hold a candle to Dawn. Truth be told their championship totals should be switched but Dawn didn’t have her team ready against Iowa last season. Hopefully HVL lands somewhere good.
She has been exposed. She doesn’t make anyone around her better. If you are a lower level team and are willing to let her be the primary scorer you’ll do okay, but never get past the sweet 16.
Hailey clearly has a lot of raw skills. She’ll destroy most players in a one on one pickup game. She needs to work on developing a playing style that contributes well to team success and she’ll really have something. I’m actually rooting for her because I really like her raw skills on the court.
Funny how football players enter the portal multiple times. Each year hundreds enter the portal. All this hate though for her?? I'm a diehard Buckeye football fan too. Dont get much into basketball. Nick Suriano was a 4 time NCAA Wrestling champion and def an olympian. He went to Penn State, Rutgers, and Michigan. Drives me crazy that this girl gets trashed.
Yes, it’s a great place to play but I don’t think Bluder would offer. We have great recruits coming in next season and Addie Deal from California in 2025. Deal is just like CC. Also I don’t think we have enough scholarships.
I think that HVL Is a punk.. absolutely terrible to up and leave your teammates at Louisville just to try to get on a better team and get a championship, only to leave that team and try to get on another team.. South Carolina better reject her because she's probably going to try to call them
She is going to HAVE to absolutely eat next year wherever she goes to make up for such an average at best season at LSU to even be considered a WNBA prospect. If she can’t hang in the SEC how she going to hang in the WNBA?
The problem with one transfer, let alone two, is that a player who does that is far less likely to graduate and is probably not a serious college student. The transfer portal needs to go back to what it was, with a player missing a year of competition after transferring. That forced players to think seriously before attempting to transfer, and certainly never allowed players to sign on to one school never intending to play more than a year or two at that original school before transferring somewhere else.
In this case HVL graduated in 3 yrs…I don’t agree with her transferring again and not sure where she would fit in. She definitely needs to work on her confidence and shot!
Cant really say she played bad D against Iowa. Clark was hitting step backs with a hand in her face & blowing by every defender. Hailey can ball, she will have a great 5th year im sure.
Dads, you have to know when to turn your kids development over to someone else. You CANNOT let YOUR ego enter into the mix Meaning, because you didn’t make it and didn’t grow past 5’9”….and you want to take that energy and transfer that to your child….
I think LSU just didn’t use Halle correctly and you know what that’s up that’s Haley‘s fault. She chose to go to that school. I don’t know why she would’ve chose to go to that school and think that she would be use correctly because that team is very tightknit. They’re not gonna and they’re not very excepting of new people plus Kim Mulkey is a very hard nose coach. Who is my Way or the Highway that’s why Haley had to change her game to fit in lsu I also think the whole like calling an Angel Reese‘s team and everyone saying how Angel Reese is the most talented on the team which is wrong because I think there’s a couple people more talented than her Flau’jae I think if anyone is her team because she’s the most talented on the team by far but she’s not used enough correctly and then Haley talent wise but she’s not use well at all. I think Haley would’ve been used much better at Iowa and right now should be going for the championship and I was coach. Lisa Bluder is much better at working with players to get them better and leading players do what they do and then she’s a big reason why Kaitlyn Clark is the way she is because most coaches would’ve flipped out if their player was trying to take threes that far away in the beginning and probably stopped. I think Haley is smart to get out of LSU especially because it didn’t ever look like she got along with the team. She always seem to look like I don’t know if it’s because she was brought in on the portal. She always look like she was on the outside looking in.
velez for sure. shes only there bc of del rosario. and velez will be done after college anyway. unless she goes overseas i guess. waaaaay too small for wnba. so shes just looking for someplace that will give her some playing time. janae kent may leave too. lsu may (again) have a problem putting together a full roster by next season!
Wherever she goes ok gonna root for her, but i wanted her to stay. I think this video is a bit over the top. She clearly was really sick those last two games.
If I was her I would go to Iowa. Not that thug culture at Louisiana. She can't replace Clark but I like the coach at Iowa. She could always play in Europe someday. Not the end of the World!
I think HVL transferred to LSU because she thought LSU would repeat a championship. She went for a potential ring instead of staying put at Louisville. It would be interesting to see where she lands for her final college year.
She should have stayed at Louisville and help them get further in this 2024 NCAA Tournament. Her WNBA draft status would have remained high with Louisville.
I don't think her draft stock was that high. That's why she transferred to LSU to learn to play point guard.
Absolutely. She wasted a complete year. For whatever reason, she wasn’t the same player she was at Louisville. No big time program will probably want her unless they can figure out what happened at LSU. It’s really shocking that Mulkey was a PG and unable to get a better performance out of her.

Hard to step up if others are not willing to share the ball.
I think LSU ruined Hailey and did not use her talent by giving a different role on what she does best.
You sound like a hater didn’t know what put a gun to Haley’s head for her to come to NSU she made that choice on her own.

It’s alright Hailey, use this as motivation. This is how greatness is created, you keep pushing your limits, everything will not be smooth sailing.

The coach stuck her on Caitlyn and didn't make a single adjustment, just leaving her out there to essentially scapegoat from what I'm seeing 🤷🏾♂️

She shouldn't change teams, she needs to switch to the 2 and play off faster players. She is too slow for her height. She should be faster than the taller girls but she isn't. That's not a coaches fault. That's not her fault, it just is what it is....
Nobody is putting her at the 2 in the SEC, she'll get crucified

There has been a lot going on at LSU. Some egos, some personality clashes, some media beat ups. Over all, HVL probably should have stayed put.

If you take the average of 50 games, then Hailey Van Lith is a world-class champion, hands down. The people that dislike her are jealous, and the people that post negative things are wrong. This is a young lady almost out of high school trying to find her way in this world. Gove her the space. People need to be respectful of this young lady. I can tell you, I hope UCLA picks her up, I'm only an 8 minute walk to Pauley Pavillion. She will be the one to watch in 2024-2025. She is an amazing young, talented woman. If you have nothing nice to say about her, and you're pissed off, the go to a Joe Biden Website and vent your frustrations and negativety over there. Keep doing your best Hailey, you will never fully know, but you watched and loved by millions, so you are way ahead of the game, me I'm loved by under 5 people, but that does matter. I'm happy. May you have a great upcoming season
I think Hailey would’ve done well in Louisville than LSU. LSU is a talent loaded after UConn got theirs. Hailey won’t be a top player, BUT is good with a team like Louisville that can allow perimeter shots and great three ball scoring opportunities. Otherwise, she needs to work on her quicker 3-pt release and step back 3-pt ball similar to do well next years draft.
She completed her assignment and threw the game its no surprise she ready to go spend that check without being checked 😭
Much too harsh man. Hvl had problems fitting in into this team of Maniacs with a dictator coach making her play a new position. This girl has charisma and a likability factor that's off the charts but I don't think her teammates like there I don't think her coach liked her.
If she can't transfer to Iowa USC or UCLA where she could train at the Mamba academy all year round if she played in Southern California next season I hope she goes back to Louisville repairs the damage there shoots the ball 20 times a game averages 25 points a game and sets everything up for her pro career. Hailey has to go where she can shoot the ball 17 to 20 times a game. Shooting the ball only 10 times the game this season really set her back and broke her confidence.
She's trying to distance herself from the stench . Maybe she can resurrect her career
I think Aneesah Morrow and Flau’Jae are also leaving. Nothing left for them in the bayou
I doubt that cause big 4 will be the star and morrow wants to win it was her knee this year holding her back
No one else is leaving. An even better team next year.
NCAA has a rule about only one transfer or sit out a year. Did they give her the needed waiver to be eligible to play right away?
Kim Mulkey should be FIRED for walking off the floor with her team when the National Anthem played. This is inexcusable.
Big deal!!! There actually no reason to play it during any sports event. What purpose does it actually serve serve????
I'm no Mulkey fan but she and her team did not walk off the floor when the anthem played. They were already back in the locker room doing through their normal routine when the anthem was played. It's scary that you are advocating for people being fired from their jobs for not standing for the national anthem.
@@GeneralRock114There is actually a great reason to play it before games. It’s called Patriotism.
@@DMacMN Sadly, the definition of that word has become a lightning rod catching the ire of so many. The word has been usurped by politicians feeling like they hold the corner on the market of what the word means conceptually.
Forcing people to do what you want isn't really freedom, commie.
I thought you could only enter the transfer portal once during your collegiate career! WTF?
Or sit a year. OR get waiver from NCAA for eligibility to play right away.
Toxic Culture at LSU!
Many won't believe this but I called this before the season started. She has no explosiveness and thus can't create her own shot which is a must. Can't expect a team to set 2-3 picks each play. Plus these games now emphasize transition offense/defense.. She doesn't seem to have the speed for that...her perimeter shooting isn't lights out enough. I predict another sub par year ajd possibly not being drafted nest year...she may have peaked at Lville
Hailey also needs to trim down to be lighter and faster on her feet.
Should have went to USC to play the Pao Pao role but didn’t give Dawn a chance. Better overall guard talent and she would not have had as much pressure to perform. Also Kim was a pg to and won at La Tech. As a player should couldn’t hold a candle to Dawn. Truth be told their championship totals should be switched but Dawn didn’t have her team ready against Iowa last season. Hopefully HVL lands somewhere good.
Highly overrated. Clark made her quit.
She has been exposed. She doesn’t make anyone around her better. If you are a lower level team and are willing to let her be the primary scorer you’ll do okay, but never get past the sweet 16.
Hailey clearly has a lot of raw skills. She’ll destroy most players in a one on one pickup game. She needs to work on developing a playing style that contributes well to team success and she’ll really have something. I’m actually rooting for her because I really like her raw skills on the court.
Gtfo of lsu she deserves greatness
Wtf are you talking about? Don't talk about her like that
Funny how football players enter the portal multiple times. Each year hundreds enter the portal. All this hate though for her??
I'm a diehard Buckeye football fan too. Dont get much into basketball. Nick Suriano was a 4 time NCAA Wrestling champion and def an olympian.
He went to Penn State, Rutgers, and Michigan. Drives me crazy that this girl gets trashed.
Transfer to Iowa. Great place to play!
Yes, it’s a great place to play but I don’t think Bluder would offer. We have great recruits coming in next season and Addie Deal from California in 2025. Deal is just like CC. Also I don’t think we have enough scholarships.
That’s Hailey’s High School Court Cashmere High School We’re both from the Same valley
I think that HVL Is a punk.. absolutely terrible to up and leave your teammates at Louisville just to try to get on a better team and get a championship, only to leave that team and try to get on another team.. South Carolina better reject her because she's probably going to try to call them
Gimme the old HVL who had that mamba mentality back!
She is going to HAVE to absolutely eat next year wherever she goes to make up for such an average at best season at LSU to even be considered a WNBA prospect. If she can’t hang in the SEC how she going to hang in the WNBA?
I wish her all the best.
The problem with one transfer, let alone two, is that a player who does that is far less likely to graduate and is probably not a serious college student. The transfer portal needs to go back to what it was, with a player missing a year of competition after transferring. That forced players to think seriously before attempting to transfer, and certainly never allowed players to sign on to one school never intending to play more than a year or two at that original school before transferring somewhere else.
In this case HVL graduated in 3 yrs…I don’t agree with her transferring again and not sure where she would fit in. She definitely needs to work on her confidence and shot!
Doesn’t she already have a degree?
Dude she literally got a degree a year ago in finance which is extremely demanding 😂😂😂
Cant really say she played bad D against Iowa. Clark was hitting step backs with a hand in her face & blowing by every defender. Hailey can ball, she will have a great 5th year im sure.
She did not play well this season and now she has a confidence problem, which really hinders a players development…
Here is what I saw. After hvl would pass the ball, she would not get it back. Rarely. Like keep away.
Dads, you have to know when to turn your kids development over to someone else.
You CANNOT let YOUR ego enter into the mix
Meaning, because you didn’t make it and didn’t grow past 5’9”….and you want to take that energy and transfer that to your child….
Last 2 games ? All season she was a fraud ! GOODBYE 👋🏾 Starting to think she came just to help CC beat us 👀
Such school dedication. Hope Iowa doesn't take her.
She gonna go somewhere that’s black
@@nbanba7531 why, LSU didn't get her anywhere Luther. 🤣🤣🤣
She should go to Iowa and join a winning program
She’s not good enough for the WNBA.
I think LSU just didn’t use Halle correctly and you know what that’s up that’s Haley‘s fault. She chose to go to that school. I don’t know why she would’ve chose to go to that school and think that she would be use correctly because that team is very tightknit. They’re not gonna and they’re not very excepting of new people plus Kim Mulkey is a very hard nose coach. Who is my Way or the Highway that’s why Haley had to change her game to fit in lsu I also think the whole like calling an Angel Reese‘s team and everyone saying how Angel Reese is the most talented on the team which is wrong because I think there’s a couple people more talented than her Flau’jae I think if anyone is her team because she’s the most talented on the team by far but she’s not used enough correctly and then Haley talent wise but she’s not use well at all.
I think Haley would’ve been used much better at Iowa and right now should be going for the championship and I was coach. Lisa Bluder is much better at working with players to get them better and leading players do what they do and then she’s a big reason why Kaitlyn Clark is the way she is because most coaches would’ve flipped out if their player was trying to take threes that far away in the beginning and probably stopped. I think Haley is smart to get out of LSU especially because it didn’t ever look like she got along with the team. She always seem to look like I don’t know if it’s because she was brought in on the portal. She always look like she was on the outside looking in.
Whenever you see her practicing it’s always one on one
She choked at LSU.
Iowa
Too much tiktok and not enough practice
Wasn't she playing sick in this game and required IV fluids before the game and during half time?
She has some excellent practice videos on TH-cam... she got game, just in a slump right now... and I don't think she fit with LSU well...
Hvl be ight... lets go pointgoat
I’d love to see her go to Iowa and take over Caitlin’s position and run their offense.
She played terrible in the last game
I think she should leave basketball altogether, she doesn't have the talent
Yes she does have a lot of talent.Stfu and let her do her
There is no need to be a dick about it she's a very talented player who lost her confidence leave her alone
@@ampsquad1245 your just ignorant
shes embarrassingly slow (and a terrible decision maker) and i cant imagine her playing professionally
Who is next for LSU is it neese the beast or a bench player???
velez for sure. shes only there bc of del rosario. and velez will be done after college anyway. unless she goes overseas i guess. waaaaay too small for wnba. so shes just looking for someplace that will give her some playing time. janae kent may leave too. lsu may (again) have a problem putting together a full roster by next season!
Iowa will need a point guard. Come to Iowa. No rapping just good ole hoedowns at Iowa. ❤️From IA
Nc.state
Wherever she goes ok gonna root for her, but i wanted her to stay. I think this video is a bit over the top. She clearly was really sick those last two games.
Video is a pathetic excuse for sales & marketing. Wastes WAY too much time telling of problems vs the solution. I gave up on it.
Really hope she wasn't coerced into making these comments by LSU...now she enters the portal. LSU gonna get buried if that's the case.

Any college must not accept such player without loyalty and have personal agenda.
I think she’s going to Iowa
Iowa don't want her.
Probably South Carolina over Stanford - per ESPN. South Carolina closer to Louisville.
Can't beat em then join em 😂😂😂
I wouldn't want to stay on a woke ass squad who wont show for the national anthem.
If I was her I would go to Iowa. Not that thug culture at Louisiana. She can't replace Clark but I like the coach at Iowa. She could always play in Europe someday. Not the end of the World!
I think HVL transferred to LSU because she thought LSU would repeat a championship. She went for a potential ring instead of staying put at Louisville. It would be interesting to see where she lands for her final college year.
