re: ESPN Way too Early Top 25 Basketball Poll has LSU at 24.

I really need to see what Wade is going to do about the PF and C positions. We lose so much beef with Reid and KBW, and we don't exactly have the 3point shooters to run a guard-heavy lineup.

Mays needs to be more consistent from 3. I know he can shoot. Smart needs to be much much better from distance, and A more in control player overall. He needs to learn to make that extra pass that he failed to last year, instead forcing bad shots.

Interested to see what Hyatt can do. Wade claims he's a good shooter. Also remember Wade is the ultimate program seller. He's trying to get butts in the seats, he did that last year with a few guys who werent quite as advertised.

Finally, Wade's suspension more than likely hurt his ability to replenish the post, but lets hope he can piece something together before the season starts.
