Everyone is talking about how good we look to him... I am not seeing how 5 pts, 4 rebs in 20 mins looks good to us. No, I have not reviewed film and won't unless he commits to LSU. Just not buying how a marginal player in similar conference is supposed to be a difference maker at LSU.

If you tell me because he has untapped potential and ability (and was hurt and Washington peoples thought he could be better) ... I point to the bevy of bigs just like him already at LSU that have 2+ years left.

He's another one that has had some issues with injuries that have probably hurt his development like our other bigs at this point. Still, I at least think for the people really wanting Kasongo, that Jarreau basically having the same stats but at a higher level seems like more of a take.

It comes down to if you believe LSU needs another forward in this class. If you do it is down to Pap (pipedream), Jarreau, or someone we haven't heard of yet.

I've read alot about him and people really feel like he has first round potential if he can put it all together. The biggest negative people had on him was that nothing big ever happened, but nothing really negative showed up besides that.

Just like I felt with Kasongo, I'm not sure if he improves our position, but if there's ever a year to go all in and give a guy with two years D1 experience a shot, it would be this year so I'd go with Jarreau.
