re: LSU basketball transfer portal watch

Great perspective on the possibilities. I can't believe that Cook won't get a waiver to LSU since he could argue being closer to home will improve his mental health AND he will have academic credits from LSU from his freshmen year. Stewart has some nice ballhandling skills and could serve as a secondary ballhandler but wouldn't want to rely on him as a primary point guard. Kerr Kriisa from West Virginia might become available also through the transfer portal with Huggins' departure from West Virginia but don't see that as an option unless Cook doesn't get a waiver. Cook and Kriisa are both ball dominant and likely wouldn't fit well together. In either case we do need some depth at point guard if Hannibal were to leave. Williams may end up being better than expected but tough to rely on a freshman for pivotal minutes. I do believe that Hannibal would end up being more effective with this year's team since it will be much harder to clog the lane against his penetration with the ability to kick out to much improved shooters such as Cook, Baker, and Stewart plus you will have Collins running to the rim for lobs. It will be interesting to see how the roster plays out but definitely seems like we may see one more roster move before the team is set.
