LSU men's basketball: Are we done with signings?

I read the reports on Odoh and his academics, he would not be available, if indeed he arrives at LSU, until 13-14?
Man we really would have been much better off, with a big bruiser, who can play defense and rebound.
Be as it may, JJ seems to be fully awake and he will recruit for our future, I believe

Possibly, but I won't be surprised if we sign a graduate transfer or two.
Maybe Charles Carmouche and a post player. Just speculation.

I'm hoping we get at least one more big who can start b/c I don't want O'byrant playing the 5 spot. I can see him in constant four trouble if he's forced to guard most 5's in SEC play.

Below are quotes from Johnny Jones from just a few weeks ago. I have to believe they have known about Odoh's academic issues for some time, so I don't think he is being referred to. He mentions two potential late signees. That would have to indicate transfers. He also says one is a player that can help us with those "questions", meaning depth issues in the post.
ETA: I don't believe Godfrey is a small forward. He could end up playing center for us.

"(We're) hoping that we could hopefully beef up inside," he said. "We lost some key guys inside last year from Storm Warren and Malcolm White along with Justin Hamilton and we have to make sure--especially playing in this league--we're bigger somewhat in size."
Jones has signed a point guard, two shooting guards and two small forwards since coming to LSU. The biggest player he's signed is 6-feet-8, 240 pound small forward Calvin Godfrey.
"We have not answered those questions yet and we look forward to hopefully having a couple of late signees and maybe one that will help us answer those questions," Jones said.

O'Bryant at the 5 would be fine, he's bigger than almost all SEC Centers. Dude is huge. Don't have to be a 7 footer to play center in college.

I will translate. Jones is fricked. totally & absolutely, fricked.
Does the one 6 8" player remind you of Popeye Jones or maybe even Dennis Rodman? No. then forget about rebounds.
fricked. totally fricked. TEENY.

Since when do you have to be over 6'8" to get rebounds in college?

Actually what center in the NBA currently is considered "good" and is a bit shorter than 7 foot?
I'd say you need to be very close to 7 foot or taller at center to have good success in the NBA now.

Why would an idiot step up and say this. Go far away you have no clue.

Charles Barkley anyone?
How about Moses Malone? one of the most ferocious rebounders ever> Add Wes Unseld making the Hall of Fame, playing center at 6'7".
