![]() ![]() ![]() If Fargas was still coach I’d say she may not be being coached up but we all know that’s not the case with Mulkey. The fact she isn’t even a decent backup is unreal. She’s a junior and was close to the top HS player in Texas. I don’t want to be repetitive but it’s frustrating that Velez, Bartlett, and Kent have their asses parked on the bench and are contributing basically nothing. I thought she’d be a solid backup point guard by now contributing a solid 10-12 minutes a game. Playing basically six almost all game is not sustainable in my opinion.Ĭall me the optimist, but I highly overrated Angelica Velez, at least at this stage of her career. Rosario is playing out of necessity, hopefully she can get to the point where she can give a solid 5-10 minutes a game. ![]() She just sent a message to the bench players. She said she would love to play 7th, 8th and 9th players, but won't hesitate to just play 6. Kim said she will look at film on the bench players but will "stop giving them minutes." Poa has been the only bench player she has trusted and been pleased with. Kim also complains, ticked off, that the bench players (including Rosario) give up too many points, but also said she has no choice but to substitute to give them experience. Kim said she would love for her to play like she is big 6'5" and mean. Yes, our coach called Rosario SOFT several times. Even Kim said in today's press conference and previous press conferences, she would like Rosario to play more aggressive, physical and not SOFT. She has improved since Day 1, but has a long way to go. Against FBS and SEC opponents, she is slow, not aggressive. Against inferior non-conference opponents, Rosario was fine. Our family has attended couple games and watched/recorded every game this year. I do think Kim is going to approach next year roster building a bit differently than how she handled it this year Smith was really as good as a starter the way she played this year. Loss of Smith and Poole is massive, just because thats experienced quality players who can help provide some relief of our starters. We don't have anyone else dependable or close to contributing off the bench beyond Poa and ADR at this point. Kent, Velez and Bartlett are gonna ride the bench the rest of the year. If she can defend, alter shots and eat up some minutes in conference play, thats a win at this point, everything else is gravy. She was always going to be someone who was gonna need until year 2. She shed a lot of weight since coming into LSU, that itself is a big win year one. She will need a lot of one-on-one training. She doesn't jump up for rebounds, she is usually flat footed. Kim has commented multiple times this year that she wants Rosario to be aggressive, physical and mean. They don't call Rosario 'Big Baby' for nothing. ![]()
