You can still edit your post and correct numbering.

With his size and skill why would he not get invited?

Only 66 players get invited, it's not much.

He's a little bit of a tweener between center and power forward, not necessarily a great translation to NBA.

These days, either you're truly a big center (6'11+). Or a very skilled 4 man. He doesnt really fit either category perfectly for NBA. He's a little small for a true NBA center, but he's also a very rim/paint focused player to be called a skilled 4.

With Blackshear and Sy out of the picture, things are a bit murky. At least on the big man front, pickings are getting extremely thin.

Virtually all of the major transfers and juco players are already committed. There will be new transfers that have yet to announce, along with a few reclassifications and some foreign players.

I trust in Wade, but it’s getting dicey out there.

It doesn't appear that we are going to have any additional LOI's in by tomorrow. Seems like there is a lot of wait and see going on. Waiting to see if anything happens to Wade (which I don't see anything on that front). Waiting to confirm who is coming back. Waiting to see what Watford does.

I'm not sure the picture gets any clearer by tomorrow, especially if something crazy happens and Precious signs with Kansas.

Whelp, i think its going to come down to what transfers we can land.

I'm still worried about the Watford decision. Something just doesn't smell right.

LSUTigers778, you imply that you have some inside information on Watford. I do hope that he comes to LSU. Do you know his situation well enough to comment on this question? Do he and his advisors believe he will be a definite one and done?

When Naz came here, there was fairly universal talk of him being a one and done from both our coaching staff as well as anyone speaking on "behalf" of Naz. (Tiger droppings ranters not included in this statement).

Have you heard of any names at all of potential players Wade is after? I got nothing. All the guys I had heard of or considered have gone elsewhere.

It's getting late, anyone hearing any names or rumors on transfers? I hope to god we get Watford. If not, this team won't be very deep next year.

Nothing man. I've searched the internet, every site I could think of, asked some people close to the program, and I'm hearing nothing.
