Shawn Long was a VERY good high school basketball player...however, he has no business playing in the SEC. He doesn't have good feet, he isn't all that athletic, and I didn't think he had good post moves..All I really saw was a taller guy getting rebounds and putting them back up..He was bigger than the rest of the kids he played against...I saw him play multiple times against players smaller than him that were more physical than him and he really struggled...I think he would be a really good fit for a Nicholls, UL Lafayette, Tulane type...Trust me, LSU isn't recruiting this kid for a reason..

This is why we plan on redshirting him this year and let him practice against Renardo Sidney, Arnett Moultrie, and Wendell Lewis. He isn't expected to step in and contribute immediately. I think redshirting will benefit him greatly.
