I am not seeing how 5 pts, 4 rebs in 20 mins looks good to us.

That's more than any returning big on our team averaged last year, just saying...

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.

I don't think anyone thinks he is a difference maker but if he's certainly an upgrade over what we got from Epps, Malone, Bridgewater and ERIII this season then why would he not be a take? We have the room for 1 more player and it's clear what we really need - quality depth at the big men spot. Also, it wouldn't hurt to get a big with experience in considering all our bigs outside of Malone (still only a junior) will be freshmen and sophomores.

I point to the bevy of bigs just like him already at LSU that have 2+ years left.

Who is just like him? Nobody has even played much less averaged what he has at the college level so far. This guy has 2 years of time left with tons of experience which is a big asset. He certainly is very rough around the edges only shooting 42% and not being a great rebounder, but: 6'10, 240 pounds with college experience and some output in that? Sign me up. The dude was severely injured one year and even last year missed 1/3 of the season due to injury, lets see what he can do healthy.

Not only all of this, but take a look at a certain related person to him and where they are nationally ranked for the 2016 recruiting class, think he might want to play with Jernard at the same school for 1 year at least?
