It’s not easy to recruit a team when you can’t tell them you’ll 100% be postseason eligible.
Coach Mc recruited 2 LSU players back to LSU and had 3 guys (including KJ) to follow him to LSU and said it could have been more. Also had a top 25 and top 50 recruiting class. That narrative needs to die.

That said, very good breakdown by posters in this thread.

I will only add that we really have opportunity ahead of us, but if we're going to sniff the NCAAT, we really need a few marquee wins. We do get games @Tenn, 2x Bama, vs UK, vs. State to help the resume.

Sweeping TAMU this Saturday would be a great start. I think TAMU will likely be 1-2 point favorite.

LSU currently sits at NET 91, KenPom 85, RPI 105. CMM has to schedule better OOC. Given the upcoming schedule, I felt like LSU could go 2-2 for Auburn, Ole Miss, A&M, and UGA. A&M and @UGA will both be tough, but they are both winnable games. Even a split gets LSU to 4-2 before a brutal stretch of conf play. Before Cook returned, it looked like Vandy at home might be the only sure conf win. So, it is very encouraging to be talking about 6-8 wins for this team, but, you are right; they need a couple of big wins to get them over the hump for the postseason.
