Wow, played in the Israeli first division. That is a pretty serious league with lots of former American players. Not sure how we pulled this off but this could be a great pickup.

Apparently, he's actually 22 and will turn 23 at the start to next season.

Dedan Thomas
Jalen Reece
Ron Zipper
PJ Carter
Mazi Mosely
Rashad King
Max Mackinnon
Robert Miller
Marquel Sutton
Pablo Tamba
Matt Gilhool
Jalen Reed
Mike Nwoko
Dedan Thomas
Jalen Reece
Ron Zipper
PJ Carter
Mazi Mosely
Rashad King
Max Mackinnon
Robert Miller
Marquel Sutton
Pablo Tamba
Matt Gilhool
Jalen Reed

Any word on Reed's recovery? You think Zipper starts? He's a nice addition, but is a 22 yr old international that (as far as I can tell) isn't on any NBA draft watch list. Carter probably played against a higher level of competition last season and might be a better option.

I think Tamba will be backing up at the 3 more, or at least I hope.
I really like the 3 point shooting off the bench. And we have good shooting in the starting 5 as well.
Miller's progression and Reed's recovery will be key.

That is not a bad roster. No excuses left.

Israel’s first division is stout. It is full of grown men, almost every team has 5-6 guys who played college in the states. There are former double digit SEC scorers littered throughout that league. Guys like Jared Harper who was All SEC at Auburn, Chris Silva played in the nba and dominated the SEC…just click on a team and you will find dudes who played for P4 teams and were standouts. Hell, Antonio Blakeney is playing in the league. Iverson Molinar, who averaged 17.5ppg in the SEC is on his team averaging 18.8ppg.
This guy is 10000% coming here to start and showcase his talent more. The more I look into this kid the better it gets. This is an exciting add

Another thing to note is next year *when everything works out with McMahon, there’s a possibility that a lot of our pieces come back. Retention will be bigger than our portal gets next year. Our biggest pieces are building blocks and not by accident.
~ Dedan Thomas will be a junior this season
~ Zipper has 4 years
~ Robert Miler will be a sophomore this season
~ Jalen Reed got a medical redshirt and has 2 years left
~Nwoko will be a Junior this season
~The three freshman
~ Dedan Thomas will be a junior this season
~ Zipper has 4 years
~ Robert Miler will be a sophomore this season
~ Jalen Reed got a medical redshirt and has 2 years left
~Nwoko will be a Junior this season

This is exactly what we were saying last year at this time. Then Ward opts out. Then, Chest, Miller, Givens, Collins, and Williams all transfer out. Theoretically, LSU could have a roster of:
Reed, Ward, Collins, Williams, Givens, Miller, Miller, Chest, Thomas Jr, the 3 FR, and a few other transfers. I know everyone will shite on that lineup but it would have been siginicatly better than a total rebuild.

That’s def a good argument. From what I’ve heard it was more of a “wanting to start fresh” thing this offseason over a not being able to retain thing. Ward fell down the depth chart after an horrible offseason and felt the coaches lied to him about what his role was gonna be so he didn’t want to “waste” a year of eligibility. The coaches also did not like Chest’s attitude from what I’ve gathered.
Obviously you hate to lose the freshman. Contrary to popular opinion I would’ve loved to keep Givens but it is what it is. The problem wasn’t not being able to pay these guys. Givens would’ve still been here but the staff wasn’t giving him that 1 mil. That’s just absurd.

If he can get it, good for him. But that is starter money and he would be putting a ton of pressure on himself.
On a side note I saw an article where the guy from Memphis going to Wade's team and asking for $4m and large minutes at pg.
Posted on 5/3/25 at 3:35 pm to mmcgrath
Yeah that’s an interesting scenario over there. They just picked up Holloman from MSU to play point so don’t know how that will work out

Sham are you hearing any other news or should we be close to closing out for the Cycle?

Would be nice if lsu could get In on Duke miles.
He asked for out of his nil agreement with a&m after transferring over from Oklahoma.

Sounds like we’re done with the portal. Will probably take two walk ons. The focus for the staff is shifting to offseason training and building ‘26 relationships
Besides the quiet month we had before Carter and Zipper it’s been a fun offseason boys.
Was able to build some relationships closer to the program this offseason so I’ll try to share as much as I can with the high school recruiting and other info I have. They don’t want the total number for the roster getting out there but trust me when I say the collective and the admin are all in on getting this program back to where it needs to be. And that’s regardless of whether McMahon ends up working out here or not.

So looking like this probably:
C: Reed (25-30 min), Nwoko (10-15 min), Gilhool (0-5 min)
PF: Sutton (20-25 min), Miller (15-20 min), Tamba (0-5 min)
SF: King (25-30 min), MacKinnon (15-20 min)
SG: Zipper (20-25 min), Carter, (15-20 min), Mosley (0-5 min)
PG: Thomas (30-35 min), Reece (5-10 min)
Zipper the real big question-mark for me, transition for international players is always real to come over here, but he is an older dude at 22-23 next season so hopefully that helps a bit. I know some of those minutes go over a full 40 but thats just how it always works out where some guys dont play in some games or less in some games than others and your minutes get spread up/down a bit different. Just my guess as to how minutes on average may fall for those guys next season.
From a roster point of view, hard to see any excuses for McMahon to not make the tournament. Unless ZIpper is a complete flop year 1 maybe. Thats the main potential hole I see if he doesnt work out. Still, gotta be able to get it done.
