LSU can't take a chance on project post guys in this class, definitely need immediate impact players down low in this class. Hopefully in a few years we get to the point where we can take guys who can redshirt and come along slowly.



Plus, we took a kid roughly the same size but with more upside last year as a project in Jalen Courtney.

Courtney is 6'8" 210. Shawn Long is 6'9" 220. That's not very different, which is why I said roughly the same size.

I guess TJ can say the same thing about the Sweet 16.

I said I'd be disappointed signing TWO projects in ONE class, moron. Leave Engstrom out of this. Being a parade All American isn't all that impressive. It's not like being a McDonald's all American. My main point is that I'd be worried about the depth of my team if Grant took two projects in one year.

Bama only played 8 guys last year.

Our depth is going to be solid next season 10-11 deep. That means you are able to redshirt somebody and slowly bring the other along.

And I was worried about our depth which is why I wasn't opposed to signing Engstrom. I also didn't mind taking a project in only Grant's second year. When are you guys going to get rid of Stansbury?

If we go to the NCAA tournament this season as expected with Sidney and Bost. Stansbury will be back and off the hot seat, this is a make or break year for him and our program.

I honestly don't know of who we could get better???

I've said it once, I'll say it again, Miss St won't make the Tourney. Stansbury lacks bigtime in the coaching department, and during his little run he could get by on just talent, because the rest of the west had shitty coaches and shitty talent. Not the case anymore, Alabama and Arkansas have superb coaches now, and both will have just as much talent as Miss St next year. Miss St finishes 3rd in the West. Stansbury is probably the 4-5th best coach in the West.

1. Anderson
2. Grant
3. Barbee
4. Kennedy
5. Stansbury

4-5 are interchangeable.
