You're completely changing your argument now. Funny how quickly you dropped our super duper experienced team returned last year when it was pointed out only 5 guys from the previous team returned, taking away Manning adding Leblanc in there for you.

Again, there was a huge drop-off after top 4 last year, there's zero arguing that. It also wasn't some super deep huge amount of continuity like you were trying to argue previously either. Loads of teams returned more than we did.

3 double digit scoring-starters off a 20win team

You start any team with that and a 8seed is a major disappointment

Throw into the fact that Wade didn’t think any of those 3 players were the best player on the team


How deep do you think good college teams are

You really think this is super rare or something

Again Michigan who bounced us had 5 seniors and a junior in their rotation throughout the year. We didn't even have a single senior on our team once Manning bolted.

You acting like we had some kind of super rare experienced team last year is laughable. We returned 5 players basically, yes 3 of them were very good, that doesn't mean the whole team was super deep and experienced compared to most others. It was very top heavy.

Bro, truly good college players do not make it to Sr year

Has LSU not have enough fringe pros leave early for you to understand that?


If I go find your predictions for the year, they are going to say a 19 win eight seed? I highly doubt it? Should I go look?

This is just plain stupid, there are better seniors in college who have no hope of the NBA than guys who go in the 1st round who really didn't do much in college by comparison.

You can't use pro talent and say seniors are all worse (while in college). I'll also adding Smart and Watford might have both left early but neither got drafted. They also got better as their time went on in college.

You are putting way too much on perceived talent and not nearly enough on true experience.

No, a team who returned 5 players from the previous years not some anomaly great experience other college teams never see. The 5th starter at end of year on our team last year transferred. It was a heavy top 4 then role players at best. The truly great teams go much deeper than relying on 4 guys. They can have others step up. We didn't have that luxury. When the time came we had to play some guys a full 40 minutes. We played Thomas 38+ minutes in 9 games, as a freshman. We played Smart 38+ minutes 8 times. When Michigan beat us they played their top guys 31-33 minutes giving them some legit rest.

False. Good PRO PROSPECTS in college do not make it to Sr year.

Hate to interrupt a good Lester Earl conversation but LSU picked up another CB for Chance Westry from Travis Branham.

Hopefully commitment coming soon.

In the history of TD this is the dumbest comment in the history of the page. At first I thought you were playing around but your serious. How bout this make a team from the last 10 years using just Sr. I'll make 5 better using just Freshman.

LSU has definitely been making the finalists for a lot of top players lately, which is big since a lot of it is a numbers game. Garner enough attention and make enough lists and you’re bound to land at least a couple of them.

How often do you see a team in the tournament with 5 freshmen going into the NBA? Now how often do you see a team with 5 seniors?

Stupid argument is stupid.

Added Jarace Walker and Yohan Traore to the 2022 prospects as LSU looks to be squarely in the mix for both.

Nah, that’s legit info. It’s an absolutely ridiculous turn in that recruitment, but it’s an accurate report.
