Doubt it, if anyone redshirts it will be Ezewiro probably, I dont think anybody needs to redshirt though, everyone can provide a role on the team next year. In the end I think a redshirt just means you're not good enough, you get 4 playing years, might as well play everyone right away.

He might not redshirt but he won’t have a role in SEC play. He’s a straight up 5 like Cisse, and then you have Days and O’Neal who are interchangeable between the 4/5 and Watford, Leblanc and Wilkinson who are interchangeable at the 3/4. There’s not enough minutes for him in year one and that’s fine. He can be what they wanted Courtese Cooper to be hopefully

Days is definitely not a 5. Shareef is not either.

Oneal and Days are 3/4 players,maybe small ball 5 in certain instances. I think both want to be 3s

If Days is a 5...we're probably screwed.

Can't see Days playing the 5 with this roster (I'm including Cisse).

Wade has typically gone with an 8 man primary rotation.

This year will be interesting to see how he utilizes the depth. He's never had this much before.

Days played nearly every minute at the 5 last year, do people really think he won’t play the 5 because of Cisse and Josh Gray? Last year, there were times that they went small and had Watford at the 5 and Marlon Taylor playing the 4. It’s college basketball, you will see all different kinds of lineups and if you think Darius Days is better suited to play the song than the 5 in the SEC you are smoking crack.

No, he didn't. You're thinking of Emmitt Williams.

Wade is totally changing the defense this year to a zone type and is putting pure centers at center for rim protection. You will never see Days at the 5 this season for that reason alone.

What about Ezewirro? Will he stay on the team as the third string center when we have another highly rated center committed for next class.

He's a project. He could probably find PT for a mid-major but I don't think he would have a significant role on many/any P5 teams unless he improves a bunch this summer. He might as well stay at LSU and let Wade re-shape his body and work on his explosiveness.

Yes, I think he knows he's likely a redshirt candidate, but I feel he can be a productive 3-4 year guy afterwards. He put on a little bad weight at Oak Hill, but Goldin can get him back to where he needs to be

Gray doesn't have to sign a letter of intent. Its not mandatory. He just has to sign scholarship papers. He could be waiting to see what happens with Cisse. We will know soon.

He is young and needs polish. I think he may redshirt. He didn't play much this past season. He needs to drop some weight and get in better shape. He is built like Big Baby. Conditioning should help him a lot.
