MBB Future

I've seen several people say that hopefully by next year, we should be a mid-tier SEC team. Since when is it our goal to be a middle of the pack SEC team in any sport? I know historically MBB hasn't been our best sport but shouldn't we have higher standards? Especially now since we can pay athletes and have one of the bigger brands in the country. Just seems like we're settling for mediocrity.

You can say that all you want but when you came from every single player transferring out to now it’s gonna take some time. Especially if you don’t hit on a few transfers to make you better quicker like this season.

It doesn't take more than an off-season to successfully turn over a roster in today's game. Building a team is a yearly task due to transfer portal and early exit to the next level.

Have you watched any games? MM is a good coach that gets the most out of his players, he just hasn’t got that much talent here yet. From what I’ve read he has a good class coming, give the man another year and let’s see what happens

But it takes more than a year to establish credibility as a coach/program to get transfers worth a shite.
To act like NIL evens the playing field that much is naive. The blue bloods are opening their checkbooks too.

Switch to McNeese. They won again last night.
Seriously, the game at Auburn gives me some hope. They could be the best team in the conference and we had a chance to win. We are definitely a better team this season.

No one is settling for mediocrity. If we had not hired Mulkey we likely don't get things moving in the right direction for the PMAC. McMahon understood what he walking into from a facilities, scholarship, roster and NIL situation. I want to see improvement and I am seeing it. Until LSU invests more in men's basketball they will never get over the hump. When Saban was here he begged that the PMAC get fixed and he wasn't even the damn basketball coach. We have the lowest NIL value in the SEC. I am just glad we can even attract players to be honest with you. Lastly, I see a team that is together and playing hard so that satisfies me at the moment. Let the season play out.

You must not follow college basketball much if you are still in the multi year building mode.
Last year lost McMahon a lot of credibility. I hope he can begin to get it back this year. We are stuck with him wether he succeeds or fails.

Stop acting like you follow and know basketball more than us because you keep parroting the same shite everyone else does on this board. You are a moron if you think it’s not harder to take over a program with 0 players vs a program with players. All you are doing is adding to the team not transforming and hoping a bunch of senior transfers can win you games.
You talk like you know bc other teams have had success quickly like ole miss. Did Ole miss completely start over their program with sanctions looming that nobody knew wouldn’t happen.
Circumstances matter, little boy. Stop with your child mentality. I know you don’t understand basketball, at all, but they have shown a lot of improvement this season from a coaching standpoint which is what you can ask for along with still recruiting.

The Wade cucks still pine over him 2 years later when he left the program with 1 player on the team. GFYS

All players transferred out is wrong. MM had 3 of our starting five from the previous year and had his top three players come with him.

The big problem for CMM is that he will be starting from scratch again next season. He has signed a couple of nice recruits, but they are sitting at #8 in the SEC with 2 signees. LSU will lose 6-7 players and that is with assuming Stewart and Chest are back next season.
Williams is a nice guard and has played well at times this season. Ward and Reed show flashes but still just checkout for long stretches. CMM's big upside is supposed to be developing players, and Ward & Reed just aren't developing that fast.
Long story short, CMM will be relying on the portal again this offseason to try and put together a winning SEC team.

Middle of the pack next year…. That means your building. I’d rather build and then be consistent than catch lightning in a bottle

It does if there was a chance your program would get sanctioned to the dark ages a year ago. The program needs to be built back to where people need to be a part of it. Not only players, but fans, sponsors, NIL.... it's going to take time. LSU isn't nor have they ever been a blue blood.

They didn’t all transfer, but all entered the portal. He persuaded 3 to return, and 1 of those was hurt all year, and the other 2 are now gone. Mwani is the only remaining player, and sadly barely gets any playing time.

it drives me crazy when people cite this as some sort of huge advantage for LSU. Newsflash: SO CAN EVERYONE ELSE! What about the per capita income or economic infrastructure in Louisiana, or the size of our alumni base, makes you think that we are just going to go out and money-whip programs like Texas, Michigan, Georgia, Florida, Ohio State, UCLA, etc.? I think the Wild West free-for-all that we are in right now in college athletics, with de facto annual free agency, will be long-term bad for LSU.

Are you repeating things you heard here without checking them out or are you just lying?
6 total players returned Mwani Wilkinson, Justice Williams, Brandon Egemo, Parker Edwards, Adam Benhayoune, and Adam Miller.
Only 2 started a game, Mwani Wilkinson and Justice Williams. Justice Williams started only 1 game.
Mwani Wilkinson played in 33 games, Justice Williams in 20 games, Brandon Egemo in 7, Parker Edwards in 5, and Adam Benhayoune in 2 games. Adam Miller was injured all season and did not play at all.

Our 2024 class is ranked 30th. Is that what you consider a good class?
Posted on 1/15/24 at 12:03 am to profwilson
Sports Illustrated has us ranked as the #6 brand according to revenue, so yes, I most definitely do consider NIL and advantage for us. No excuse for how poorly we've recruited in men's hoops.
