The good news is that LSU will likely have a 10 man (maybe more) rotation as opposed to the 8 man rotation last year.

I agree with you that they are definitely much deeper this year and can play deeper; however, I’m not sure they will. If Wade’s comments are to be believed, he has said in recent interviews that he likes an 8 man rotation and that is likely what they will use this year except for when in early foul trouble.

And again, for those of you concerned about the height, I encourage you to take a look at Auburn’s final 4 roster and Villanova’s national championship roster from 2 years ago. LSU’s roster, as far as height, is almost identical to both, especially Villanova’s. So while it will dictate a different style of playing, it’s not as big of an issue as most fear. And offensive rebounding will be fine. You don’t have to have height to successfully rebound on offense. It’s more important for defensive rebounding.
