Everyone knows how tall Tremont is. The point is, it's a super rarity that a PG in the SEC has tremendous success with that type of height. Tremont was a rare one!!! We want success we don't want "Potential". With the portal there is an opportunity for instant success! Adapt or get left behind!!!!!!!!!! and so far Matt hasn't adapted to the SEC!!!!!!

I’m not sure you do know how tall Waters is. You laughed at Reece said he’s underwhelming based on the fact that he’s 5’10. You have no support otherwise to question the kids talent. He’s rated pretty high based on everything I’ve seen and recruited by some really good programs.

So, for the 3rd time, how tall is Waters?

Please just answer the question. Your refusal to do so tells me you know your original comment was misinformed and biased bc you obviously have another agenda here.

Basil has been on a major melt for 2 and a half years now. Not a single positive post in that time on MBB threads.

major melt?

I've got a major melt for you. Look at the average attendance the last two years of LSU men's basketball. It's comical.

It's going to get worse before it gets better but keep on sunshine pumping "McBoring". You guys are pumped that he's got a nice incoming class of freshmen.....but ya'll are totally silent that he laid an egg in the portal.

LSU had the #63 ranked portal class in the country. If you can't homerun the portal, you are not going to win many games in the SEC!

Ohhhhh and by the way way Tremont is 5'9". To even remotely think this incoming freshman next year will have anything close to Tremont's production is downright insane.

At no time was there a comparison between Reece and Waters. You however denigrated a player only because of his height when he's actually taller than Waters. I have no doubt you derided Waters when he signed. I can see it now, oh, yay a 5'9" pg.

If anyone has anything negative to say about an LSU coach bringing in talent then Idk that you can call them a fan.


Not sure where you’ve been here lately but I’d say a good 30%+ of “fans” hate McMahon just because of their love affair with Will Wade..

LSU ranked #63 in the portal recruiting. If you can't recruit in the portal you won't make NCAA tournaments.

ARKANSAS WAS #1 IN THE PORTAL!!!!!! WATCH what Arkansas does this year!!! and Watch what LSU does this year.....

I'll be in Baton Rouge attending LSU games. Hate is a strong word. We want a better product. What we've seen the last two years isn't worth talking about, but keep living your Matt dream in Mediocrity. The numbers don't lie unfortunately.

I support LSU Athletics,
Will Wade no longer coaches LSU, I have no opinion on his future
If McMahon doesn't succeed he will be replaced, but I seriously doubt it will be Wade again

it absolutely won't be Wade. That ship has sailed. I just want to see us get back to where the program was trending to when Wade was canned.

It's all over your post history. And right now in this thread announcing a commitment from a top recruit.

We didn't need much from the portal. In fact if we had known we were flipping Vyctorius I am not sure we would have pulled in both shooting guards that we did.

Ohhhhh and by the way way Tremont is 5'9".
I am glad you finally had time to look it up. While you are at it maybe you can tell us how tall the top 2 pg's in the SEC, Mark Sears and Zakai Zeigler, are.

And i missed you getting excited for 6'3" Curtis Givens or the fact that 6'3" Mike Williams are on the roster.

if you don't think you have to home run the portal to have a shot then you absolutely don't know college basketball!!!!!!

LSU is picked near the bottom of the SEC for a reason..........but wait wait you must know something that we don't!!!!!

Keep that Same EXACT ENERGY when LSU doesn't get in the NCAA tourney for the 3rd consecutive year!!!!!

That's a good point in this era. We'll see how it goes this season.

This reads like what you hope happens. None of us are saying the on the court results are good enough to date. Nobody has said that. But there’s no need to come shite on McMahon in a thread about a highly rated recruit committing to LSU. I’m sure there are plenty of other basketball threads you could bump or just wait a few weeks to post the negativity.

Your anti- McMahon narrative is poorly placed if nothing else. Again, we ALL want better results. We are simply rejoicing in some good recruiting news.

Seems like any true LSU fan would be able to respect that

It just shows that Basile is actually NOT an LSU fan. But he IS ACTUALLY a miserable human being.

It's going to be hard to suck Wade's dick from that far away.
