re: LSU admin is proving they don’t care about men’s bball & I’m not even talking about Ws&Ls

idn’t the sanctions just recently finally get lifted? I think we still have one less scholarship this year and next and then they’re all completely in the rear view.

I know it’s not a total excuse but it’s that much harder to build under a cloud like that. And really all of last year, which was year 1, we didn’t know how bad or how long the punishments would be. It makes recruiting (which lsu bball isn’t exactly known for) that much harder.

Here's where I stand on that Mwade. We can debate the extent to which we believe what happened before here has affected the players CMM has been able to get here to this point and we have here constantly.

But whatever you think of our relative talent can anyone honestly say they can see development, or improvement in that talent or that we have gotten that talent to it's potential. For myself I can't see any - in fact i thought we regressed as the year went on last year and I can only hope that does not happen again because there are IMHO at least 8 or 9 SEC teams as good or better than that K-State team that just came in here and beat us by 15 without their best player.

In my mind, this is really year 1. I don’t know if CMM is the future but I’m willing to at least let this season play out and MAYBE next season as well (if we see some growth/maturity this season, lots of ball left).

More glass half full, SW deserves the benefit of the doubt from ALL Tiger fans as this point. If CMM ain’t it, he’ll get it fixed.

I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt this year but if I see what I saw at the end of last year....
