re: News flash to the basketball haters

McMahon continues to prove he is a decent mid level college basketball coach...that is it! He is in over his head trying to coach in the SEC where other teams' talent are clearly superior to his players. His highest ranked signee out of HS has been Ward who was the 41st best player in his class. All these 66th, 79th, 97th, 119th best players aren't going to cut it.

Common sense tells you that since there are about 1/3 the number of 4* and 5* caliber BB players that there are FB players, you basically have to multiply by 3 for an equivalent football ranking. Thus, the 41st best player in BB is pretty close to equivalent to the 123rd best player in football. Use the same method to convert the other BB players' rankings, and I don't think LSU fans would be happy with players in football being signed so far down the totem pole.

Bottom line: McMahon's HS recruiting sucks and his transfer portal signees aren't cutting it either.
