Who put in the crystal ball? I feel like basketball recruiting is a bit more transparent, so one CB can be huge.

Outside of the 1 CB, most of the chatter is he is leaning toward Houston to play with his cousin.

Butt, a lot of these basketball posters can’t wait to say I told you so. They say they want lsu to do well but when they start to frame negative outcomes before they even happen, you know they are lying


I remember when Alt used to be a pretty rational basketball poster but he and a few others have slowly descended into full blown McMahon Derangement Syndrome

know everyone wants to blame the players to absolve McMahon of any criticism. But I think you could make a very strong argument that the recruiting hasn’t been the biggest issue. It’s the coaching


I don't think I agree with this. A few of the players were just flops.

It’s hard to recruit any top 100 players when you’re facing a death penalty. We got a couple, the ncaa backed off. This past year was essentially year 1. You could only get 5th year/grad transfers. Guys like Cam Carter come in, get a couple more in the portal with the last 2 classes and you’re starting to build.

Anybody watching the tourney? You need older players now. One and dones aren’t shite. Coaching matters. The fact we went to the NIT with our best player only playing a few games, and having 0 professional basketball players is astounding

So dumb. LSU was never facing the death penalty and from looking at the other schools involved most knew it would be nothing significant.

The issue with McMahon is his results on the court. He has been given every reasonable and unreasonable excuse on this board.

If McMahon isn't playing in the big dance next year, Woodward should be looking for a new coach.

You realize the team was completely gutted a year ago right? If he improves the record next year and is in the conversation for legit making the tournament it’s good progress.

Good player and would be McMahon's highest ranked recruit for this cycle. The question is with seemingly limited spots available does it make more sense to take a HS player vs. a transfer? Particularly when McMahon has generally been reluctant to give true freshman big roles (unless out of necessity, like Mike Williams this year with Cook out to start the season) and the fact that college basketball is now "older" with more major conf. teams opting for 3, 4, 5 year transfers over true freshmen.

LSU had 5 definite spots with Baker, Dean, Wright, Hannibal, and Wilkinson moving on. Cook seems likely to move on as well (though nothing official has been stated). That would be 6 spots IF LSU someone on the team would be willing to be a non-scholarship player to fulfill LSU's 1 scholarship reduction penalty this season.

LSU already has two HS signees plus Cam Carter transferring in. Miller would make the 4th new addition leaving only 2, maybe 1 more spot available for a transfer. If McMahon is going to sign 3 HS players, that's fine...as long has he intends to use them. I don't think he can afford to let them sit most of the season like he did with Ward and Phillip in year 1, or redshirt a guy like he did with Chest this season. He lost a lot of production from this past season with Baker, Wright, Hannibal, Dean, and Cook out. That has to be replaced.

We will absolutely be seeking a solid center in the transfer portal.

I think our roster might be pretty solid next year if some development happens from our younger guys.
