Agreed.. NIL and the portal will be the death of college sports. There is really no difference between college and the pros now and that was what made college more special.. sports betting becoming more and more legal by the year is also ruining anything that is bet on as the fix is in now.. officiating has never been as bad as it’s been the last 2-3 years now and it’s like they’re not even remotely bothered about trying to hide it either. I just.. don’t really care about sports anymore in their present state. Michigan got away with flat out cheating this year (as they have been for years now).. but it was exposed and right out in the open and nothing really came of it.

Imagine losing to Iowa in the Elite 8 then transferring only to lose to Iowa in the Elite 8 again! That's what HVL did

I did notice she looked entirely out of place in that last game against Iowa. I don't know if Clark bombs from downtown had something to do with it.

Has LVL gained weight? Honest question, and I'm not criticizing her. I only watched her sparingly when she was at Louisville, but it seems to me like she is more muscular now, especially in the legs, and she looks slower than in the past, maybe because of that. When she was at Louisville I thought she was pretty quick, but since being at LSU, she seems slow. Caitlin certainly had no trouble leaving her in the dust with a confused look on her face. To be fair, Caitlin has done that to about everyone that tried to guard her. Conditioning clearly isn't a priority for LSU, so maybe that is an element too.

Now exposed as too small and too slow.

HVL, Never should of left Louisville...

If she can't play point guard effectively (and her time at LSU seemed to show she can't), is she really going to go to the WNBA at 5'7" and be a scorer? I think of so many short scorers at the Men's college level that never even got drafted by the NBA or if they did, they were benchwarmers. I am just asking.

I wouldn’t be able to vibe with Kim as a coach either.

Clark didn't expose HVL that was done when they were in the first few games playing practice teams in the beginning of the season. It was a style contrast that HVL knew would not work with her game coming out of high school but she sat in her living room during the championship and thought she could run that team. I blame her and coach Mulkey for not returning her to her natural position after the conference playoffs. She wanted to play the point guard and become a facilitator to show the pros her versatility. She didn't have it on offense or defense. Then after she screwed up now she wanna run off. She had no business going to LSU after not going to play for Mulkey out of high school. She didn't help their chances to repeat she actually hurt them. She was no Alexis Morris and had she not gone to LSU Makila Williams would have been the point guard or KP who I believe left over favoritism.

Clark was not the only one to whoop on HVL this tournament. Mightve bn the most obvious but HVL needa to stay in a program that she can learn to defend any type of player.

Haley making more money with each transfer. That's her game, no blame ❤❤❤

Ouch!

Come to Iowa! Bluder knows how to use a star

As Dick Vital use to say… HVL was the Kodak player of the game…she’s the one standing there takin’ pictures!

She found out what being around that other color is like.

A lot of folks are saying that Kim Mulkey should've put Johnson or Reese on Clark, but the problem with that is Johnson would've played better defense, but would've fouled out, thus taking away from LSU'S offense. Reese guarding Clark would take away from LSU'S ability to dominate the defensive and offensive boards. Pick your poison, Clark is the most difficult person to game plan for

Clark is version of Steph Curry which it will be hard for anybody to guard her. The coach has to come up with an idea to throw her off her game like double team her but that will be hard to if she's taller. She's just a good Ole ball player it reminds me of Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. Yes, I'm a black woman saying this Clark is that good. I hope team win😊❤

Important to note her assists and PG performance since that's what she was supposed to be doing.

I thought she only had a year of eligibility left this year anyway?

Good she needs to get away from those privileged brats at LSU. Get with a team that actually appreciates her and this country

Ring chasing in college is crazy

LSU thought they would just roll over Iowa, what happened is they got schooled for playing lazy and the game also showed Angel doesn't have a go to shot she just relies on easy layups. She's the one that will suffer in the WNBA because at only 6'3" she just not good enough to play down low.

Hop over to Iowa HVL, it's a family and you would fit well at the shooting guard.

I love Hailey. She was just off this season. LSU was heavy on the guards. They didn't get used properly. Hailey is def a bucket. Just gotta get right

It's the anthem!

They should have played her at the two-guard and played Poa at the point

Good choice. After this game, I'm more convinced that some people (this coach, don't need to mention her name) are more victims of circumstance than victims of merit. How this game was coached is truly mind blowing to me

She shouldn't have left Louisville she was a star there.she might have made a big mistake.

I said In another post about her that she should have been a Hawkeye twice...this will be the 3rd time...she's a fantastic player.

Stanford is academically demanding. Is she on that level?

That's her fault. She knew what she was coming into at LSU. Her only job at that point is to adjust.

good for her , go somewhere else get her degree and have fun . her game may not add up to a career in the wnba but she's a joy to watch and i wish her the best .

HVL has sort of reached her limit. She isn't good enough to make a WNBA roster, especially with the way they just cut draft picks. Small, slow footed, will never be a good defender. She isn't a point guard, she doesn't have any useful skills for the position. She is a little scorer who isn't gonna translate at the pro level. The spotlight is on because of who cooked her, but she's been useless on defense every LSU game I've watched. Which is only 6 games, but it's enough to see a trend.

Great move for her

Nevermind her defense, her overall game versus Iowa was atrocious. It was hard to watch

Go to Iowa.

Just shows how little respect she has for the game and process. Probably the worst defender I’ve seen in her position. She made the worst decision to go to a school that doesn’t like to develop players......

Her team is in Louisville... Another example of how screwed up college athletics has become. Somebody was smoking major weed when they thought this NIL and Portal was going to work.

I don't blame her for leaving, but she wasn't the only one being held back. Mikaylah Williams could have also had an incredible freshman season, but if she makes a few mistakes, then she gets taken out of the game. If Mikaylah was allowed to take as many shots as the other elite freshman around the country, she could have put up bigger numbers.
