Man I hope some of you can get refills on your meds. To bring anything negative about bringing in a starter from a Big 12 team averaging double digits shows just how pathetic this "fan" base is. And I didn't see anyone acting like we signed some super star. I guess the stupidity will continue. Wright was a great addition to this team. So if this guy is at or better than him it's a good get.

I don't know. This thread seems pretty even-keeled for the Rant. I don't see anyone arguing that Carter isn't a solid addition. However, I'm not sure he is as good as Wright, esp. when you look at the advanced analytics; Wright has a BPR of 4.42, which is Top 250, vs. Carter's BPR of 3.1, putting him outside the Top 500. He is a solid addition but can't be the cornerstone of this transfer class. CMM still needs a couple of big hitters if LSU is to move off the NIT bubble and into the NCAA.

I agree with this. He’s a good pick up, I just wish he had another year of eligibility to add to the core we have going with Ward, Reed, and Williams (assuming these guys all stick around).

My main frustration with this past season’s transfer class is that ones that ended up being solid contributors (Wright, Baker, and Dean) are out eligibility. It took awhile for the team to gel around the new guys and establish roles but you could see something being built. And I don’t have reason to expect much from the other transfers with remaining eligibility. Really disappointed in how things turned out with Cook.
