LSU officially landed a commitment from Italian forward Saliou Niang on Tuesday.

The 6’6 forward averaged 8.9PPG and 5.1RPG for Virtus Bologna in Italy this past season.

Niang, 22, was drafted by the Cavs with the 58th overall pick in 2025.

If we can land a couple Serbs and an Australian this'll start to look like one of Dale Brown's teams from the 80s. (Not that there's anything wrong with that. Those were some good teams!)

I'm not sure how I feel about these modern times
I guess I need to get used to it
I'm very "old school", when players chose to play somewhere becaise of their love of the school and not about money
Times are changimg

You about 4 years late, we just lost a 5* recruit DB, cause he won’t start in 27 so Lane ain’t going to pay a player for 1 year that can leave with NIL money.

The NCAA did that when they used those athletes and made billions without sending them a dime. Imagine being a superstar coming out of high school but not being able to afford clothes cause you would be ineligible to accept gifts and can only use what school provides and bs like that. This is fair

The only reason that was a thing was because the NCAA was fighting against paying players going back to the 90s while agreeing to ever increasingly large tv contracts. Realize they had decades to figure out a plan and did nothing.

The idea that the NCAA let's boys dress up like girls and steal opportunity from them is the worst. Second worst is allowing professional athletes to come back to play college. Its absurd.

When have you said this, your alter account has a total of 6 posts. Why don’t you grow a pair and post under your real account?

You’re what a real loser looks like. Mark my words.

I only have one account and this is it. Look, I really hope I’m wrong but I’ve never been a fan of this guy. He’s a used car salesman (a rich one at that). And I truly hope you throw it back in my face when I’m wrong and he wins. I’ll accept that but unfortunately I go with my gut and my gut has been a pretty good read over my lifetime. Hats off to him making the $$$$
