It probably safe to say Harris and Green probably won't see the court much over the next 2-3 years.


While I agree on Green, I respectfully disagree about Harris. He's raw, but very athletic and long. Most players improve the most between their freshmen and sophomore seasons. I know for a fact that TJ likes Harris a good bit and he'll log plenty of minutes off the bench behind Warren and White. Not to mention Harris will be that much better when he finally plays along side a pg that can penetrate and create off the dribble.

I just simply forgot about Harris. He could be ok too. Must hit the weights and develop better skills.

No doubt, I just think Harris has more upside than Green/Ludwig. Maybe Green will come around, but he's pretty painful to watch as of now. I sometimes wonder how he would look had he not suffered the back injury? Ludwig coud develop into a nice program type player that could contribute off the bench.

Spencer is really a short 2-guard.

yup. unless you have a dynamic 2 to take the pressure off (Thornton)

Stringer will probably start next year. I can't see Spencer keeping him on the bench. Spencer and Dotson might be battling for that starting 2 guard position.

I bet that Stringer, Spencer, Warren, and White will be 4 of the starters next year. I guess the last guy will be a toss-up between Turner, Derenbecker, Dotson, and Harris.

LSU was mentioned with him when Calipari first kicked him to the curb. I don't think TJ expected point guard to be as much of a problem as it is. Populist played like 17 minutes against MSU -- that is a problem.

I could see Trent getting rid of a couple of players. He's not known for that, and this is just my opinion, but it's looking that way. I agree with UNC, this could be the end of Chris Bass.

i'll give you green and bass, but harris is going to be a good basketbal player, especially when he starts playing more at the 3/4 next season.

Well according to a couple recruits I spoke with recently and some kids on the team now and a few other focus very close to the program, he is definitley getting rid of a couple of kids.

No I don't. Sorry, some stuff shouldn't be said until after the season.

I think he is just on scholarship this year due to the lack of numbers (I believe 9 guys on the team and White).

yeah if things happen they'll happen at the season's end.

i could see kinsley going back to walk on status to free up a scholarship.

I think we all expected a rebuilding year. But I think things are way worse than even TJ thought they would be.

I could see Bass, Green, even Spencer not coming back. TJ and Bo butt heads and Bo has remained eligible by the skin of his teeth. Maybe Trent knows something about Bo?

It is basically based on production or lack there of, and some off the court issues. I won't elaborate more but the only way the names I am hearing stay will be a drastic change of heart by TJ.

Thought so. I have heard rumblings. LSU has been only recruiting post players and now -boom- a point guard out of the blue.

If LSU signs a PG and a post player, we will know someone is gone.

Also, KC Ross-Miller's dad is a well-connected prep coach. This can't hurt, if LSU lands him.

sounds like TJ is gonna go maineri end of first year player meeting on some of his guys.. i trust TJ's judgement whatever he decides to do.. he's already shown he's not reluctant to boot kids after one year, but I think what happened last year was more based on off the court transgressions
