re: Jernard Jarreau 6'10" 240lb PF - Possible transfer

He probably had 2 redshirts

He grew 7 inches between his mid high school and college playing days so his first year in college was a redshirt. He was 6'10" 190... Now at 6'10" 240 he is still thin but has a good stretch PF basketball body.

Jarreau tore his ACL only 2 minutes into his RS Soph year. He is still classified as a Jr, however, most are very sure he will be granted his hardship waiver seeing that he only played 2 minutes.

if he can start would be a super plus...we don't need anymore 6'10 or 7' projects on the bench

LSU needs a guy who can come in for 15-20 minutes per game and score 5 and rebound 5.... That's what he has already proved he can do in division 1 big boy basketball. He score 12+ points against two top 25 teams last year. We need a guy who can give us good minutes after Victor and Simmons in the post. This guy isn't nearly the project as a Kasongo who is likely going to Miss St.

Washington wasn't very good last year, but Jarreau started 21 games for them last season. He would be a major upgrade at a position of need.
