re: MBB Portal Targets List

Right now LSU has the 15th ranked overall (recruits and transfers) class in the country. Those rankings can often be skewed by teams who have to sign a lot of players vs. the ones that only have to sign a few. But on that note, if you look at the average rating of LSU's incoming players they are ranked 12th in the nation (on 247) in company that LSU hasn't been with in a while (Baylor, UConn, Duke, UNC, Kansas, Alabama, Houston, Arizona). That's in addition to LSU keeping retaining all of their highest rated underclassmen.

CMM put together an excellent recruiting class but an avg transfer class (so far). The transfer clas is ranked outside the Top 50 on EM. Anyone who follows CBB knows that trying to project the impacts FR will have is a fools errand. How many previously Top 50 ranked FR hit the portal without contributing anything at their first school? So, the impacts of the FR are a bit of a wildcard.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if next season is a bit of a step backwards (SEC finish wise) but the following season looks to setup very nicely for CMM & Lsu.
