Inexcusable defeat

We lost that game because we had no rebounding. I mean Elbert was top 50 guy but he's terrible

This is Johnny's 4th year here, shouldn't we have enough depth to beat teams like this?


Some of it is bad recruiting. Big men are few and far between because the majority of the population is not 6'8 and above, so many schools go after the good ones. We took chances on guys like Epps and Elbert and it has NOT paid off

bottom line really, if the AD wants a winner they're going to have to pay big, likely above market rate for a guy. Much like football did with Saban at the time.

If they're content with this, then keep on keeping on with JJ.

I would buy your argument if I would see LSU defenders putting asses in offensive players groins after a shot is put up. I understand the advantage larger players have when it comes to rebounding but rebounding isn't just about going to get the ball. We have the athletes to rebound even when Victor isn't on the floor.
