re: MBB Offseason '25 Transfer Portal Tracker

Those guys from midmajors have literally done just that throughout the SEC and college basketball this year take a peak at tournament team rosters.

LSU forward Daimion Collins, a former 5?? recruit, is entering the transfer portal, he told @On3sports

This stinks. I think Collins has a place on this team as a role player, as well as V Miller. I wish we could lure them into returning. I think Collins will see less time with Nwoko and with Reed returning, and R. Miller's development is a wildcard, but we could still use Collins' athleticism and length. I guess he anticipates that he can start somewhere else. I think Collins will play in the NBA, and its never good to lose that type of player. Also, we still need another shooter, and V. Miller is a good and athletic shooter that we will miss too. It's hard to keep replacing talent. I was hoping we would add talent to some of the core players which I thought would be Reed, Collins, R Miller, V Miller and to a lesser extent, Givens. I don't think we should expect much from the freshmen, but they may surprise us.

I think we're still out looking for 2 more starters personally (3 total players, for now).

Agreed a starting lineup of
Thomas
McKinnon
King
Reed
Miller

That’s not a top tier sec team and quite frankly not even top half of the league team.

Perhaps. But you can't really count this year. McMahon is having to replace his entire roster.

Hannibal and Dean played WAY ABOVE what they should have. Boyde shouldn’t be in the convo. Coleman was never supposed to be good. Williams and Sears were the only busts, but unfortunately we put a lot of hope on them

Why are people so quick to discount our transfers because “they don’t know them”…we are top 5 in the portal. Just because you don’t know Rashad King doesn’t mean he sucks. He can easily average 10ppg next year. Most teams only have 3 maybe 4 double digit scorers.

Because there is 98 games of information, producing a 45-53 (14-40) record, that has deteriorated the benefit of the doubt. LSU is down to #3 now in the portal. That number is likely to decrease as the days go on because players will continue to enter and the majority of the (current) top 100 players have yet to commit to new schools. But even if LSU does finish with a top 20, or even top 10 class, it's not something we haven't seen before. In 2023 LSU had the #17 transfer class. In 2022 they had the #11 class. The results: 31-35 (11-27).

If you want people to stop doubting you...give them a reason to stop doubting you. While it is great McMahon is out trying to sign new talent, no rational person will believe it will lead to anything UNTIL they see it happen on the court.

Exactly what I was about to respond with. I don't understand some of the posters in this thread purpose for being here. They don't want to talk transfer portal they just want to say McMahon sucks and we will suck as long as he is here. We could get Auburns exact team and they would think we would suck. I get it and there is a reason it's put up or shut up this season for the coach but this isn't the place to whine about that. Pick any of the countless threads on the rant for that. Honestly some people are so emotionally and intellectually immature when they are upset about something they have to make sure you aren't enjoying yourself either.

I asked why people dislike our transfers. I watched about 45 mins worth of youtube last night and I really like these pieces. I ask why we don’t like them…

---

Because you could go back to April 2022, April 2023, April 2024, and find almost the EXACT same threads. People watched highlights of players (where everyone looks great) and "really liked" the pieces. Then the season happened and "suddenly" those same players everyone really liked in April had "no talent".

Unless these are the exact same players that is an irrelevant point. Just admit some of yall are here to derail the thread in protest against the coach
