That's my big concern. I know to an extent that basketball has gotten to a point of rebuilding pretty much every year with the portal. But it's not really sustainable.

What is sustainable is the growth we've seen in guys like Reed, Ward, and Williams. I'm really hoping we can hold onto them and not let someone else get the best years of their college career. But we lose damn near everyone else off the roster.

We only have a couple freshmen coming in.

We have a good nucleus with the guys brought in through the traditional recruiting path. But it's such a small number and the portal is very volatile.

Hopefully you can have that core group to build around and use the portal to supplement the rest of your key needs. We’re definitely gonna need a shooter and some help inside with rim protection and rebounding.

Yeah. I like Coach MM’s actual coaching. And he has done well under the circumstances with the roster up until now. My big “iF” with him is the roster next season. On paper it does not look better than this season as of right now. To me at least. And no matter how good the coach is, you need the talent when you play in the SEC these days if you want to have a legit shot at winning the conferance. He has time with the portal so hopefully we get better.

McMahon rebuilt again this year because his previous team wasn't good enough. If he can regularly put SEC level teams together, including recruiting useful players out of high school, he should be able to avoid a total rebuild every season.

Apparently LSU will give him plenty of time to try and get it right.
