He dresses out fully every game. I don’t think he’s been unavailable at all and that was like a month ago. I think he is just lost on offense and defense. Probably a guy who lives in the gym shooting but doesn’t care about the mental side of the game.

There really Isn't room for bishop to play this year, He isn't better than a Healthy Chuck,Taylor,Sky or Smart and when chuck was out Bish was also dealing with some tweaks. He seems happy and is involved on the bench, he'll be a fine player down the road

Wade said himself a few weeks ago he's been banged up, again, dont know how much it's really affecting him, could just be lost, could be hampered a bit from a lingering injury. Nobody really knows but the team and Wade there.

I just wouldnt count him out already, he was a good pickup, not a guy like Cooper who nobody wanted. He averaged 23 a game his senior year in high school and tore up some AAU competition, he can play.

His offer list isn't that impressive, though is film is very good. Grade issue?

He was hurt this summer and just recently blew up. We were the first big offer to turn up the heat, more offers will probably be coming soon

I'm just ready to get this class in and forget about the crap that Alleva screwed us and how that decision killed our chances last class.

We need Bigs. This class already has a PG. if we don’t get a couple of Bigs it won’t matter.

They’re coming. Shareef O’Neal is 6’10, Josh LeBlanc is 6’7 w/ a really long wingspan & Wade has been singing his praises for defense. There’s a another 4* 6’8, 230 lb banger coming in also.

Watford really SHOULD come back, so that’s a decent frontline rotation - although LeBlanc & possibly O’Neal won’t be eligible to play until SEC starts in Jan (or whenever the 2nd semester starts)

So to me, a second true PG is needed. Love Skylar & Javonte, but they are combo guards and the lack of a true PG is killing us

O'Neal is transferring in and Leblanc is already practicing with the team. Ezewiro was signed in the early period. That's 3 right there. Plus, they are still recruiting Anselem

All year we've had to listen to people bitch and moan that LSU doesn't have a point guard (even though that hasn't stopped them from being a great offense). Now you want to complain about getting a guy who could potentially be a dynamic PG? He needs to get stronger, but that kid can play

I still think Watford leaves, even though he prolly shouldn’t, NBA will take him on potential, they can develop him faster, he will bulk up and work on skills needed 24hrs a day, once he’s out of school simply because that’ll be his JOB.

That's a little over-dramatic, don't you think? We are 2nd in the SEC right now, and this team has no depth and no one over 6'9. There's more than one way to win basketball games.

I think the class is great on Bigs with O'Neal Leblanc Anselem Ezewiro. We're basically solidifying our frontcourt for the next 2-3 years in one class. If Watford and Days hang around it's probably a top 2-3 front court in the conference.

Watford
Anselem
Days
Williams
LeBlanc
Ezewiro
O'Neal

Smart
Gaines
Cook
Thomas
Manning
Bishop
Wilkinson

Damn, that's 14. Is Williams leaving?
Even if Smart, Watford, and Williams leave, we'll have depth for days for the first time in my life.

Totally forgot about Cooper and Hyatt. I'm assuming it might be difficult to find spots for them.

Not really late bloomer. His recruiting slowed drastically after his injury last year.
