Before this game I thought very little needed to be done with the lineup coming back , now ??? This might be more important this year than last year portal.
Portal thoughts

We need a big nasty Center, priority number 1. Tec is serviceable, but her ability to dominate and score are not elite. If Swatkins returns, she can add some needed physicality and toughness. Okot was soft.
We have Makeer and Tessa to handle shooting. Edwards and Kitts can handle mid-range, but Edwards will need to improve ball handling and awareness. McDaniel is not Raven, but she can handle point; but we need to see more point production.
Hard to evaluate recruits right now, but Jerzy brings an “It” factor and toughness.

Hopefully, we can get Okot to return. She may go the draft. However, if she returns, she will probably be the biggest, baddest post on the block. That's important in Women's College Basketball. We get Chloe back and hopefully Ashlyn too. Would give us great depth, but who sacrifices for the betterment of the team. Also, we could use another shooter. We have Tessa. I think McDowell and Makeer can develop into shooters, but when you are National Championships contender, you would like a sure thing. Finally, we could use another experienced PG out of the portal. We lost today, but I think our program is in great shape to make another run.
I love where this team is positioned for next season! Getting Kitts back is huge. Okot needs to improve her touch and toughness. Tournabize is not as good as I had hoped, but she did just come in, so hopefully we see massive growth.
If you remember, Cardoso was just so-so on that Final Four Team that lost to Iowa. She came back the next year, with a toughness that she had not exhibited before. I see Okot as a better athlete that needs that second summer in our system. The problem is she played well enough this year that a WNBA team would draft her in the 1st Round. Hopefully, we can get that issue resolved soon.
Need a scoring pg that can also defend , a big with a sense of some offensive ability, and another shooter.
I have watched her play. Quick guard, can shoot the ball. If you can play, you can play. Heck, Hannah Hidalgo is 5'7" and is the best PG in the country to me.
This past season she averaged 37 minutes scoring 22.5 points but with 5 turn overs. Not a good fit for Dawn's system.
We were in her finalists but never got a visit. After she visited Tenn, she shut it down. Dawn said in her presser that she was happy with our front court but would be looking for guards. Plus Edwards is probably way out of our budget. Electric player but I don't see SC for her for these reasons. LSU will probably push hard. She is an Adidas athlete so this might narrow where she can go depending on her arrangement with them.
