It does seem like McMahon isn't recruiting centers out of the portal as hard as most expected. I wonder if Miller's development has something to do with that. The one knock on the board is that he might have been a project, but I guess that is changing.

Miller is (listed) 6'10. But he's not a prototypical "center". He more in line with Jalen Reed in terms of style of play. Center size that wants to be a wing.

In his first two years McMahon has prioritized Centers who could also step out and shoot threes. While good in theory, it hasn't produced results. LSU was been ranked 100(+) in offensive efficiency both years. Same on defense as neither KJ nor Baker were good defenders. It looks like McMahon may be embracing a change of philosophy. LSU won't have a traditional center, but will have better length to guard and more versatility in scoring.
