re: What's the real plan for the basketball staff and recruiting

Most all of the SEC basketball teams will have to be pretty horrible with their coaching and talent next season for LSU to not get humiliated.

I too hope that Blakeney & Sampson have a breakout season, but Blakeney needs to somehow become consistent and Sampson basically showed zero this past season So a breakout season for both is highly questionable.

Patterson regressed last season.
Bridgewater needs to play football.
Victor is 6'9 and has major fouling issues.
Darcy & Elbert, they're just not good at basketball and probably never will be.
Epps should have been good by now if he was going to be good.
Freshmen, no bigs
The 2 juco guys, only 1 big and his juco stats were comparable to Odo, and we all know how that worked out for us.
