We haven’t added a single player at these positions that will take us to the next level. Hopefully the coaching changes will bridge that gap some. But until you bring in the studs the results won’t be what you want. This league is too good to try and coach up average players consistently.

Guys we brought in are fine for filling out a roster but not necessarily for becoming great. Unfortunately you have to pay a lot for those players now and we don’t seem to be trying too hard for portal guys that can make an impact. I think the Denver Harris project is to blame for that partially. So now we wait till the high school kids can develop but how do you keep them from leaving?

Obviously, The Athletic site disagrees with you. They have LSU going 12-0. I think that is a bit optimistic but they see the same thing I see. As the late Al McGuire said, "the best thing about freshmen is they become sophomores." IMO, you are making an obvious mistake. You are assuming that experience doesn't make players better or you don't believe guys like Stamps, Toriano, Yaites, Howard, Womack, Weeks,etc have talent and therefore won't improve LSU. All of those listed above were TR FR that played some.

One more thing...most of these portal guys have already improved because they are for the most part veteran players. They are close to their ceiling already. They are already experienced.
