Did we sign another big for this year in the 6'9" range to play this year and not on board yet or is it for next year?

From the best information out there, it looks like Wade will fill the one remaining scholarship before the fall semester begins. It seems like a red shirt big is the most likely target, but we will have to see what he does. There is only a short time before the semester begins, so we should hear something soon.

BTW, although information is scant, I'm cautiously optimistic about the upcoming season from what is being written about the Spain trip! It would be nice to have video of the games, but I think Wade wants to keep some secrets before the season begins.

From what I gathered the DR team was very good competition and comparable to physical college teams like Houston and Michigan State according to Wade.

The Valencia team was not good at all. We just out matched them.

That's what I've heard so far about the trip. I just wish there was more information out there.

Between the Pelicans and LSU men's basketball, I'm getting really excited for November to get here!

School starts tomorrow at LSU. If a transfer is coming, it will be announced soon. Late registration lasts about a week, so there is almost no time left.

It’s almost goodbye to the 2019 thread.

Tolu Smith is one of the names out there. A Western Kentucky University transfer that would have to sit out a year as a red shirt big man.

Not sure who else is on the list.

He sounds as if he would fit Wade's game. Team player who just wants to win.

He’s also changing schools and attending Oak Hill this year and will be teammates with a 5 star shooting guard LSU is recruiting.

There’s a 247 article that said he rated it a 10 out of 10 and was blown away on the visit but the rest of the report is for member’s only.

This thread needs to be un-stickied. There is a 2020 and beyond thread floating around that needs to be stickied.

I agree. It would seem like it is too late for a late 2019 fall signee.

Perhaps, Wade can find a mid year 2019 transfer signee that would red shirt until mid year 2020. If not, then the one remaining 2019 scholarship will have to wait for fall 2020.

Technically there are a couple more days left. I think Sept 5 is final day of late registration.

But yes, looks like there will be no additions.

This was the main gist of the article; not much beyond it. He had LSU pretty much at top of his list coming in and the visit did nothing to change that. He enjoyed being around the coaches and players and even played some pick up games. He may return for an unofficial later in season and plans to be an early signee; so should have a decision by November.

Thought that was announced in August?

Thomas was announced last month. I believe that he went to Spain, but did not play.

He has not been listed on the roster on the website until recently, however.

That is what the prior poster noted.
