Let's just assume Smart, Watford, Days and Manning are returning.

If we add just Cisse or Anselem, likely keep Bishop and Cooper heads elsewhere.

Add Cisse and Frank Anselem, both Bishop and Cooper head elsewhere.

Add neither, both Bishop and Cooper likely stay put unless Wade goes into the grad transfer market to find an experienced big



You should replace Cooper in this with Hyatt.

Cooper is already definitely gone, we've replaced his spot in recruiting. Hyatt and Bishop's scholarships are the final 2 spots if we decide to add 2 more guys that would likely get replaced....unless someone like Watford went pro.

Personally no idea who they would keep between Hyatt and Bishop if we added 2 and also lost Watford or if we only added 1 more and kept Watford. Hyatt played more this year, Bishop probably has more potential and Wade mentioned a few times he was banged up this year.

Looks really close to what Joel Embiid was at KU.
We need a guy to play that role.

Will be very difficult to pull this guy away from Memphis
It's going to take one strong arse offer tbh.

I know he's considering Memphis, but he is not from there.

The dude isn’t even from the US. He has no ties to any location. I’m pretty sure they just updated his location to Memphis too. I think he was in NY before. I’d say we have a strong chance, unless Penny pulled a James Wiseman and bought him a house there

The kid is originally from Africa who was brought over to NYC. He then left NYC to end up in Memphis at a private school that will (cough, cough) recruit top players. He's not in Tennessee just because he likes BBQ. I promise you SOMEONE is "handling" his recruitment and they aren't doing it out of the kindness of their heart.

Skal Labissière was brought from Haiti (via other stops in the US) to that same school. I promise you Calipari has connections with persons related to the school/basketball scene there and it's not by accident Kentucky is on the kids short list.

This is why I laugh when people became indignant that Wade would (allegedly) make a big monetary offer to great players. THAT'S THE COST OF DOING BUSINESS in major college basketball. So the question is do you want LSU to be a player for big time talent? Or, do you want to "do things the right way" and win 5 SEC games in two years like Trent Johnson did?

If Cam Thomas is still around and the commits already on record sign with LSU, then 2021 is shaping up to be one of the deepest and most talented rosters in LSU history. If Moussa ends up here and Wade is able to convince a couple guys to stick around for more than one season or return for their third or fourth seasons then a run to the final four in 2021 is more and more likely to happen. The starting five that season if we have the players still here that is, could end up featuring 4 top 25-50 players overall in their classes leading that team. Heres hoping Wade can get this kid in Baton Rouge

Cisse would complement the roster nicely

I really hope Smart and Watford both return. They are the key to making a serious run next year imo.

If Bishop and Hyatt don’t return so be it. No way LSU passes on Cisse, Anselem, or Kuminga.

We have a chance because Memphis is under investigation. Otherwise probably not.

I wouldn't say that at all, at least if you consider we'd only get Cisse for 1 year as a freshman and KBW we got as a 5th year senior. His ceiling is for sure higher than KBW, but you cant expect a true freshman to come in and do even better than what KBW gave us as a 5th year senior.
