re: LSU Basketball is only missing one element on its roster...

Same here. (still looking for that rim-runner, though)
This roster looks 10/11 deep to me at this point so I'll make 2 points that I'll prolly repeat too often between now and start of the season:
1) Do not underestimate the value of practicing against good competition. There is experience/court time with maturity all over the place that younger guys can't help but absorb.
2) Do not underestimate the value that playing within CMM's system/offense will have in the development of the baddass freshmen & A.M.
The system allows for much less trying to tread water in the deep end. They - and the coaches - find out what they're good at within the team concept and everybody gets to feature those skills a couple times a contest as/while they become acclimated to the rest of the game.
Not much of an adjustment for A.M. because of his talent and season of PT but the freshmen are still gonna be like a box of chocolates...
