Lets assume we land Watford but we lose (lost) out on Quinones and Sy. Who are we going after to wrap up the class? I'll assume everyone that tested the NBA besides Waters and Reid will return.

1. Mays
2. Smart
3. Williams
4. Days
5. Taylor
6. Bishop
7. Manning
8. Cooper
9. Hyatt
11. Watford
12. Graves
13. Reese
14. ???
15. ???

I would really like to see some added depth to the post. Hopefully we can find a big man transfer that is immediately eligible. If we can do that, i wouldn't mind finding a quality transfer that had to sit a year to play a few.

In my honest opinion, I think we land Watford. I think most others are on board with this second part. Our second and third scholarships, completely clueless at this point. I would say 2 grad transfers that we don’t even know about yet.

Well you only get 13 scholarships and Graves and Reese won’t get one also you skipped the number 10 so after we get Watford we will have 3 spots open apparently we’re in a good spot for a big transfer which would put us at 11/13 not sure what we would do with those last 2 spots though

Will it hurt the team next year if Graves gets one if we don’t fill them this year?

I used to worry about such things pre-Wade.

Now I don’t.

Yep, I definitely missed the #10. I was looking for the magic number 15 for a full roster. It wouldn’t surprise me to see Graves keep the scholarship and another walk on be added to the team.

Could be Nysier Brooks.
I hope so. We need that kind of size.
He's trying to get a waiver to play this season and not sit out.

With how this transfer is being hyped I'm thinking Blackshear or Shakir Juiston. Blackshear makes a much better fit for that we want, but Juiston is still out there as well, just a lot smaller (6'7, 220).

I'm with you, I really wanted to pick him up even if he had to sit a year.

Would be a major pick up to get Blackshear. In my opinion, he and Watford would be huge and put us back in the mix to repeat as SEC Champs.

Has anyone heard info regarding Blackshear? Theres been relatively little buzz around his preferred destinations. Would love to see him alongside Watford but i don't have anything to indicate we are even in the running for him.

Major pickup would probably be an understatement. Blackshear has a better year than Reid or KBW at least statistically and did it in the ACC so it is legit.

If it was Blackshear, our starting group would be pretty ridiculous:

Blackshear
Watford
Taylor/Days/Hyatt
Mays
Smart

Yeah, I haven't read one link to Blackshear with LSU either.

I guess hopeful folks are figuring LSU is never really out of the running with someone on the open market if WW wants a kid bad enough.

He would be a perfect fit tho.

That’s a top 10 team on paper

I think it is people assuming because of some stuff the insiders alluded to on a pay site
