Averaged 2 points, 2 rebounds in 7 minutes for his two year career at Kentucky
Jeff Goodman says he really likes this addition. Collins has dealt with off court issues that have limited him

Former Kentucky power forward Daimion Collins has committed to LSU, he told On3.
The 6-foot-9, 210-pound sophomore is a former five-star recruit and McDonald’s All-American. Despite the high school accolades, Collins was never able to truly find his footing and make an impact in Lexington. He averaged less than eight minutes per game in both seasons at Kentucky, hovering around two-to-three points per game.
Collins, a native of Atlanta, Texas, will now finish out his college career in Baton Rouge. The LSU Tigers finished the 2022-23 season 14th in the SEC with an overall record of 14-19.
Daimion Collins was the No. 15 overall recruit in the 2021 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Rankings, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. Coming out of high school, he picked Kentucky over Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Texas, and Kansas.

Well he has been so I’m not really sure why you would think not.
But this is a very nice get for him and can hopefully build some real momentum for the team.

That's not really a far off comparison tbh. Have you seen the guys he has been recruiting? Don't be surprised if LSU is worse this coming season than last year.

We need to take whoever we can get to complete roster
Not a bad portal pickup this late in the game if McMahon can get something out of him even if it's just depth

Trending up, lets keep the momentum going LSU MBB needs to improve next year.

Worth noting that LSU is technically out of schollys, so either someone is getting told to go look around, someone is going to walk on, or the NCAA is giving a scholly back.

Lost his father unexpectedly last off-season, glad he’s getting a fresh start. Wish him nothing but the best. You can tell the talent is there, think he’ll do well for you all.

But Matt McMahon can’t recruit, he’s the vanilla Trent Johnson, etc.
Hope he turns out to be a beast for us though

Way to Geaux, Daimion, we're glad to have you puttin' on that yella jersey, mayne

Collins had a tough time getting consistent minutes at UK but was effective and shined while in the game.
That’s a good pick up and hopefully there isn’t any off the court issues as mentioned.

Yea just can’t get motivated to renew my season tickets. June 1 is the deadline and I can’t get enthused aboot this at all

I'm sorry to be the one to say it but this is not going to be good. I don't know what the optimism is in here. Some serious copium going around I guess. Men are on life support right now under Mc. None of these portal guys are moving the needle for LSU. The ceiling for this team is dead smack middle of the SEC and that's an extremely successful season. More than likely they're similar to what we got this past season and this team is arguably worse than that one.

fricking pirate man.....is it an act?

its a solid addition I guess but not exactly a flex to show what recruiting prowess you have.

sounds like he didn’t live up to the five star rating and kentucky was just trying to clean up a bit

Yes, he's a troll. Hates all the successful coaches at LSU but backs the ones who have one foot out the door like Matt McMahon.
Mc had more talent to work with this past season than he has on the roster now what are the expectations for this season? And no, he can't recruit. That's LSU's biggest issue right now under him. He's not refilling the cupboard that's for sure. These are situational guys or guys that just couldn't cut it elsewhere. That's what he's basically snagging in the portal. His HS recruiting beyond atrocious. You ain't moving any needles like that.
