He also didn’t take over a program that had been to 4 straight NCAA tournaments. He also didn’t have the roster that McMahon has this year.

All that was left from the "4 straight NCAA tournaments" were some t-shirts and a letter of violation. He didn't inherit a program that did that. That program was long gone.

And Pearl inherited a better roster. McMahon inherited zero players and zero recruits.

That program got gutted, & he lost almost all of the good players.

Agreed. McMahon's roster is worse...easily worse.

There is a reason his best player is a 5th year player that came from a small school. He probably didn't recruit or have a relationship with the top players while he was at Murray St. WW used $$$ to build his relationships quickly.Hopefully McMahon can use NIL to get better players and not get caught on tape while doing it.

Well, then you should give MM some damn credit if you think his roster is more talented because he was able to bring in the amount of talent he does have in such a short period of time. He had absolutely no players on the roster and recruited in what he has ( which isn’t much talent.). His roster is undersized, can’t shoot outside nor finish at the rim. That’s a recipe to get your arse beat on a regular basis in the SEC, the competition level is a lot higher every night.

If he doesn’t have the team playing at a lot higher level next year, I understand the criticism then. The supposed rankings of the players he has doesn’t translate on the court, you don’t have to watch long to see he doesn’t have a talented group of shooters or scorers. The only guys who have shown they can create their own opportunities and score consistently are KJ, Miller and Hannibal, the others are very inconsistent and are bonafide bench players. There isn’t any LSU players, other than KJ or maybe Miller, that would be able to start for other SEC teams over their starters.

Lol tell me you don’t pay attention to basketball without telling me you don’t pay attention to basketball.

Everyone jumped ship when Wade got canned and McMahon had to completely rebuild the roster with the transfer portal. This is nowhere close to the same roster Wade had.

Go back and compare what WW inherited his first season.

Means nothing with zero of those players and a black eye hanging over your head under investigation.
