45. LSU Tigers
Gone: Johnny O'Bryant, Andre Stringer, Shavon Coleman
Returning: Jordan Mickey, Jarell Martin, Anthony Hickey, Malik Morgan, Tim Quarterman, Darcy Malone, John Odo
Coming in: Keith Hornsby (UNC Asheville transfer), C Elbert Robinson (ESPN No. 60), PG Josh Gray, C Aaron Epps, PG Jalyn Patterson
Key Riser: Jarell Martin -- The skilled and talented forward began the season with an injury and started to come on in the second half. He averaged 10.3 points and 4.6 rebounds, but he was just scratching the surface of his potential.
Analysis: The loss of O'Bryant will hurt, but Johnny Jones and the Tigers still have a terrific frontline tandem of Mickey and Martin. Hickey is a solid veteran guard, but the key will come at the point where LSU will bring in Gray.
Summer Buzz: The Tigers already have one of the top players in the country, Aussie big man Ben Simmons (ESPN No. 3), in the fold. They have two more for certain, but that number could rise if Mickey or Martin elects to leave in spring 2015. They need a combo guard and will go after guys like Malik Newman, Antonio Blakeney and Brandon Sampson.

If we were somehow able to pull Simmons and Malik Newman, I would be so excited that I may combust.

Newman and Simmons would put LSU on the national radar similar to Kentucky last year.. Also would have us as final four picks for 2015
Extreeemely wishful thinking however

I see no chance at us pulling Newman. Early on we thought it was at least possible and having Simmons on board helps his case but still very wishful.
