The going rate for an elite point guard in the transfer portal is between $200K-$400K.


If this is accurate, we have little to no chance of being competitive in today's market.

It would have helped if we had a HC that bankrolled his own roster, oh wait…

McMahon is going to have to find the really good players that a lot of other teams dont think are very good

250k...for a point guard.. not too bad...what's that like 1 or 2 big rig cases avg for Gordon.. less Jello-Shots in Omaha.. that bar is doing fine on it's own...and boom...we're there...we might get closer to a top 300k one.....surely we can get this Done

LSU needs a big personality as coach to get fan and donor support. McMahon seems like a good coach, but he is not the big personality and promoter that LSU as a non-basketball school may require to generate the excitement and money.

Kind of crazy how LSU was able to get some decent talent here before, but now all of a sudden we can't. I wonder why that is.

You guys remember when we had an elite recruiter?

I know I’ll be called a Wade nut hugger or whatever the cool term is today but all I know is …

One guy has his team in the NCAA tournament in year one and the other guy doesn’t in year two.

Especially when we have a coach that doesn’t believe in scaling NIL payments. He prefers the socialistic approach.

Ott has said on radio multiple times McMahon has turned down support from boosters. This guy doesn't have a clue what he needs to actually win at LSU on any type of a consistent basis.

Are we poor again. LOL at posters that say we can't afford players.

What NIL deals does our women’s team have? What did they have prior to last year?

Cook reportedly got right in the middle of that $300-400K, so somebody is paying it. But consistently is the worry/issue.

Wade was able to pull top guys. He also wins everywhere he goes.

Can't we just use that $200-$400 on a defensive tackle or a starting pitcher?

Shaquille O'Neal poops out that much every day and flushes it Alabama Style "Around the Bowl and Down the Hole."

McMahon/Woodward coulda/woulda/shoulda be begging him to be an NIL money man..........

It's still slightly shocking to read such a quote. Times have surely changed...
