The LSU Tigers were eliminated from the NCAA tournament on Friday night, falling 87-85 on a buzzer-beater to the Duke Blue Devils. It was the final game of Flau'jae Johnson's illustrious Tigers career.

While it was the end of an era for an LSU star, it was also just the end of the first chapter for some potential future campus legends. Here is an outlook of how the impressive freshman class stands after their first year:

Johnson stepped into a starting role immediately with the Tigers. Missing the scoring of Aneesah Morrow and Angel Reese, Mulkey decided to look to the freshman for that missing offense.

The young star was inconsistent, but showed flashes of greatness. She averaged 9.7 points, 5.6 rebounds and an assist on 59.9/66.7/69.7 shooting splits. Of the 18 games in which she had double-digit points, she only shot below 50% in two of them.

One thing she will look to improve next year is her shooting. She made two of her three attempts, all of which came late in the regular season. She had mentioned that she was a good shooter in high school and would be trying to get back to that.

Knox already looks like another paint beast who just needs to rein in her game. She averaged 8.8 points and 4.6 rebounds on 62.1% from the field. She had 16 games in double digits and finished below 50% in none of them.

While she won't be focusing on her shooting as much as Johnson, she will be looking to be more of a force on the boards. She has the size and aggressiveness to be the next player in that Morrow/Reese role for Mulkey.

Hines saw inconsistent playing time in her first year at LSU, but it was always exciting when she entered the game. She averaged 4.2 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists on 44.9/37.3/55.0 shooting splits.

The most exciting thing about her game is her potential to grow into a sniper on a Tigers squad that has never really had that under Mulkey. They've had players who shoot well, but Hines has the potential to be the best. She had three games of at least three makes and missed just three shots between those games.

Bourrage was certainly towards the end of the bench. She appeared in 24 games with a career-high of six points and six field goals attempted. She did not make the final trip with the team as she was in concussion protocol.

She was an exciting player coming out of high school with some versatility in the back court, so it'll be interesting to see what year two looks like for her.

Like Bourrage, Yarnevich found herself towards the end of the bench. She was touted as someone who could be a bully in the paint coming out of high school, but clearly needs to develop. It wasn't too shocking to see her sidelined for most of this season, but it also shouldn't be long before she is contributing more frequently.
