re: LSU lands Kentucky PF Daimion Collins

I think he lost his father right after the season exhibition opener, in which he played great. Then he hurt his foot and was out for 3 weeks in January. Then his grandfather died near the end of the season. No one can focus on basketball under those circumstances. Also, he was already skinny, but then lost about 15 lbs grieving over the death of his dad. I'm a little surprised that he didn't return to a Texas school, but I'm thrilled he chose LSU. He is very talented. He was the 14th top prospect nationally in 2021 with a rating of 98 by 247, and a transfer prospect of 91. I think that transfer prospect is very low due to his recent performances, but the potential is nearer to 98. This is a great risk/reward commitment.
