The only upside I am holding on to is the fact that MM was 17-14 in his first season at Murray St then 16-17 in his second season then after that had single digit losses in his next 5 years.
So in theory next year should be much better, but It seems like something is missing in his teams. Its as if the urgency isn't there or something.
They start off in the SEC 3-1 then lose 3 in a row, win a game, drop another 3 in a row, then they beat South Carolina & Kentucky back to back then with 6 games left they go 3-3 in that stretch. There isn't consistent play.
LSU is ranked 30th in recruiting with 2 4 stars coming in, but you need experienced players to win. He really does need to work the transfer portal and there are some decent players out there. If he doesn't bring in anything special out of the transfer portal its going to be the same thing in 2024-25

I’ve noted his trajectory at Murray, and I think he knows how to build a team — but IMO what’s “missing” is post play.
Baker’s one of the best 7ft shooters I’ve seen, but that’s about all he was good for this season. I’d rather a guy do at least two things well than literally one thing excellently.
His guys aren’t generally lacking a will to compete — what we’re lacking is physicality & bodies. We need a Baker sized dude who plays like Hannibal.
Honestly think we will be okay at guard, but we’re going to need *some* kind of presence inside. A guy like Thiero at UK quickly changes the look of a team like this.
