It's not like he can be picky and only take 2 or 3 guys from the portal and wait things out for a 2 or 3 really good players. He is probably taking bare minimum 4 if not 5-6 guys this cycle once again from the portal.

Right now, with Mwani in the portal, we only have 2 spots for adding from the portal. If Cook leaves (75%) that gives us 3. Some people have mentioned Stewart, but he hasn't entered yet so must not be a given. So if you add Cook, we only have 3 players to add from the portal. IMO, if we get an extra spot beyond that, we may try to add a 3rd player out of HS. There are still some decent talents left.

So this year it appears that we will be more selective in adding 2-3 really good guys out of the portal. Probably 1 C and 1 PG. May have room to add a wing, but there are some very good ones out there.

4 graduates + Wilkinson + Cook = 6 open spots

- 2 HS signees = 4 available spots for transfers, right?

Or is the reduced scholarship sanction in play? The reason I ask is because it was purportedly in play this past season. Yet, LSU had the full complement of (presumably) 13 scholarship players.

LSU has FOUR spots to fill from portal and possibly more depending on Cook's status. No clue where you are getting only 2 spots from. LSU will have a minimum of 6 brand new players next year between portal and HS.
