This is exactly the type of big body banger LSU needs.

If he’s that size and in the French pro league and he plans on playing college ball, he’s probably raw AF and not very good. Else he’d go straight to the NBA
Did some research, averaging less than a point and only has played basketball for 3 years, I’m not very optimistic that he’s any good

He has the perfect name for a NIL recruit.

You do realize that International players start playing professional ball at a really young age right? So his 3 years of playing as you say would mean he's played professionally already against grown men...You also realize that International players come to the US more polished than college players right? It's been a long time since there's been an American MVP in the NBA. 2018 to be specific.
The guy's last 2 stints with the U-21 National team he posted 28pts 13rebs and 27pts 15rebs. you would pass on that? Interesting.

He does favor him...kid is 7' with a 7'4 wingspan and he's pretty athletic for his size......and people on the board would pass on him....blows my mind

And built like a grown man! If all he provides is D and rebounds, this team needs him!

25 recruit?
Why? We have no backcourt\wing set in 2 weeks. Givens and mike Williams return with another freshman, maybe.?
Gonna be interesting.

Every player. If CMM is getting another year, they should too. Don’t care what the game has turned into but coaches should be able to still develop player’s skills. They should also be able to create leaders. CMM has picked his leaders from the portal every year. May have been the only cards he had but good luck making it through the sec to the tournament on all transfers.
No dog on givens but he looked like a freshman all year. He has the vision and confidence to be a good guard. If he runs the offense next year he will need to be stronger and be able to setup an offense for 35 minutes lol

I was told by the McMen that was a good roster he had put together, so I assume we would want them all back

All. You only list 8 players. One (Boyde) might not even need a scholarship as we had a bonus player with 12 scholarships this year.
So let's say 7 scholarship athletes returning. We add the 3 freshmen, leaving us with 3 more. Mbiya (a great add) would leave us room for 2 more, presumably transfers...
Yes, Mbiya is a get.

So we go from second to last place to maybe 3rd last? Assuming South Carolina and any other bottom feeder doesn’t get serious about winning of course.
