re: What is the most impressive item on tResume thus far to the McMen?

So he was able to keep some of our guys to his credit but in your reality he’s not to blame for losing all the others?

Sure. The ones who stayed would have been recruited by him. For whatever work he put into that I suppose he deserves some credit.

I don’t blame anyone. They lost their coach. They had to decide what was best for them. He kept a guy who missed an entire season with an injury and another who has been plagued by injury and only skill is athleticism on the defensive end and occasional 3’s. Mwani can’t handle the ball and probably wouldn’t have been a big target for someone in the portal. He probably stayed because he likes LSU or because he thought he had a good chance to be a starter. Who knows. But I don’t just assume the coach ran everyone off. None of them probably knew who he was and certainly would have no loyalty to him. They all did what was in their best interest. Why does blame have to be ascribed to anyone?

Is it possible that any of them left because MM couldn’t promise them certain things due to resources or the scrutiny that was on the program. Could it be that they were losing certain benefits that they had before? I don’t know. However I don’t think it’s just because MM was so unlikeable he ran everyone off. Considering that he brought players with him and filled up a roster relatively quickly.
