Just read an article that Memphis combo guard(and New Orleans native) Charles Carmouche is transferring from Memphis after receiving a 5th year of eligibility. Think LSU and Johnny Jones have any interest?

Jones has said he would like to sign another post player and a combo guard for 2012, if possible. He also said that he would like for at least one of them to be a post-graduate player with just one year of eligibility.

I would be surprised if Jones did not at least look into Carmouche, but my guess is that Carmouche is looking for playing time and would likely transfer down a level to a Sun Belt type school. (Just my opinion).

Corban Collins was on LSU's campus this past weekend for an official visit. LSU will likely not make any guard decisions until he makes a commitment. Carmouche could become a backup plan.

Part of it is probably playing time. Memphis is pretty stacked at SG, even moreso if the knucklehead Johnson from JUCO qualifies. But he also had some attitude/discipline issues last year that kept him off the court. He briefly lost eligibility over a massage he refused to pay for at the hotel the team stayed at in Maui. He came back for a few games, had a very minor knee injury that healed sufficently, then basically refused to play again. I think his and Pastner's relationship simply ran its course.

Also, I think calling him a combo guard is very kind. He's a spot-up shooter, period (though a pretty good one).
