2017 basketball scholarships

You are correct if we are counting Bigby-Williams.

Sims not going anywhere. Family ties to LSU plus he is not a bad player.

Is really not a bad 3-point shooter

wow....garbage? the hole team was hot garbage w/ the exception of Tone an Duop last year. they all could be better w/ a new coach including Sims. He'll never be a star but could develop into a nice role player.

I don't know how this all shakes out w/ schollies but he may ultimately be gone. however, there's no reason to trash a player. it will be interesting to see what the roster looks like when CWW is done.

Likely lottery pick>>>>>>>>>>"could develop into a nice role player". If Robinson can get a waiver or is willing to sit out a year, you absolutely take him. If that means Sims has to go, he's got to go.

sims isn't going anywhere. He actually was a bright spot and improved as the season went on. You obviously stopped watching early on. He averaged about 19 minutes per game and had one sec game where he made (4) three pointers. Over his last 8 games he was also 14-16 from the foul line. For 2014-15 the kid was the Louisiana player of the year.

Please stop posting because obviously u don't watch basketball.

Sims is pretty garbage. He's a 6'6 225lb PF with little to no athleticism who can't shoot threes, rebound, or defend. Plus he got arrested this offseason. If Mitch is coming, Sims is gone.

I swear to God it's like some of you morons don't watch basketball.

On Friday Bigby-Williams was cleared, investigation is closed and he will not be charged with anything

Could anyone see a scenario where Sims scholarship dropped but stays on team as a preferred walk-on? Dad pays tuition and Wade gives him back scholarship the following year when more free up. Not sure if that is logistically possible/allowable.

Doubt it, he'd go elsewhere

And with that said, I think they are waiting on seeing what will happen with Robinson before Bigby-Williams officially "hits" the roster. Just my opinion, but maybe they are looking to take only 1 of those 2 instead of both and getting rid of a current roster player at this point, especially with it being so late in the cycle. Classes start in 2 weeks, so things will have to move really quickly in both situations if they decide they want both and have to tell a current player to kick rocks. It's tough at this point because you definitely see the need for guys like Bigby-Williams and Robinson but also there isn't any "poor" player left on the team really to tell them to head elsewhere.

With ER III, Jenkins, Hayward and Patterson it wasn't so hard. Once you start to look at the guys now, it's tough to tell someone to kick rocks because any of them could at least be a decent contributor to the team this season.
