These two commits leave a lot to be desired, particularly given that the rationale to fire Trent was largely based on his inability to recruit. We just lost Damian Jones, a top 100 instate player, to Vanderbilt.

If Trent would've recruited a few good junior college players his first year, he would still be LSU's coach.

Johnny needs to stabilize the roster and build some depth. Expecting him to sign 5 highly ranked freshman to immediately make an impact is not very realistic.

Also, what film and/or scouting reports do you have on Jones or Deng or Odoh? Do rivals rankings carry that much weight for you? I like Jones, would definitely take him, but he averaged 8 ppg in HS off the bench. In summer AAU he had Julius Randle, the number 1 player in the country down low to play off of., plus a loaded backcourt.

He is more of a project and role player at this point.

Bubba, what do you think about Bridgewater? Does he have the perimeter skills to translate well to college? From the film I saw of him, he is capable of hitting a spot up three, but I couldn't tell much about his ability to shoot off the dribble, penetrate or handle the ball in the open court.

Generally speaking, I consider offer lists. We beat out next to no one for Deng and Odoh.

Jones had a solid offer sheet.

Also, you want to talk about projects we have two junior college projects committed. Two shot blockers/rebounders with undevloped offensive games. Id rather a high school project any day.
