The state of the Basketball program

I posted this in another thread, but I thought some more might like to read it

Louisiana had no talent last year. Trent made a decision to keep his scholarships instead of giving them to undeserving players. By the looks of his next recruiting class, he was right.

there was not 1 player from LA in the top 150 last year.

This year Louisiana has 3, with LSU getting the best one (#71 player in the country). It takes time to develop relationships with coaches and players, especially since a lot of these kids are being recruited since freshman year.

Right now, we are getting the #71, #93, and #144 ranked recruits for next season. Add in a commit from the #148 player and that is damn good. We also get Malcom White from Ole Miss who will be an instant starter. So, we have the #20 class in the country + Malcom White. That is a huge step in the right direction. We need to get 4 year players who will bring the program stability, and then go after the 1 and done players who can bring us to the top 10 level

our recruiting class is great, and trent has already shown that he wins with talent

two 4 stars and 3 three stars is great for LSU.

Trent made the right decision in holding the scholarships. This year sucks, we knew that going in. I don't understand why people are bitching about something that we understood during the offseason. LSU will be fine, lets not sink the ship before it gets its sails up
