LSU It's reasonable to suggest no new power-conference coach had to scramble to put together a roster more than Matt McMahon had to scramble after leaving Murray State to replace Will Wade at LSU. It was quite the challenge. But McMahon convinced Adam Miller to exit the transfer portal and return to LSU, got Murray State stars KJ Williams and Justice Hill to follow him to the SEC, and actually assembled a respectable roster. Most are not projecting the Tigers to be a serious threat to make the NCAA Tournament, but it shouldn't be ruled out considering McMahon has coached in three of the past four.


That’s from Palm preseason. He went 2-16 in SEC play.

Judging players from low level mid majors to SEC basketball is impossible, especially by media members. Even assessing backup players from bigger schools that you are interested in bringing over is tough.

I assume it will be something McMahon gets better at once he understands the type of players needed to win in the SEC. But coming from Murray st, he just knew what he knew. Adam Miller was probably the biggest disappointment on the roster but the roster overall was very very poor in terms of athleticism, size, guard play, and scoring ability. So basically everything
