current LSU players not in portal or draft
Mwani Wilkinson-G/F
Alex Fudge-G/F


When Wade was fired I said we would lose all recruits and everyone would leave. I honestly feel we hit a home run getting McMahon, but I honestly felt he would be able to keep maybe 3 or 4 guys. Man this sucks.

The possibility of Gaines, Reid, Fudge, Wilkinson possibly staying intrigues me.
It would be massive if Matt could get Reid and Gaines to stay. Potentially rolling out there with KJ Williams, Efton Reid, Kendal Coleman, Justice Hill, and Gaines wouldn’t be so bad after all. I admit I was worried, about the roster a little bit next year. It looks like Matt is going to fill it up pretty quick.


well that dream was short lived..only took two days for it to blow up

At this point I guess we have to expect that everyone in the portal is gone. If we self impose losing 2 scholarships we only have 11 available with 6 current players committed. Obviously Fudge and Wilkinson are shaky commits for a couple of weeks.

So starting lineup:
PG- Justice Hill
SG- Trae Hannibal
SF- (open)
PF- Kendal Coleman
C- (open)

BENCH
Cornelius Williams, F
(open)
(open)
(open)
(open)
(open)

Priority is obviously a starting center and maybe a backup C. Some depth at G. Shareef I think is still the most likely to return, which would be a key position. The two Murray State guys would have a spot if they wanted it.

If we get one of the M State guys we would only have 4 spots left. Obviously most of the guys in the portal can't come back.

ETA: Fudge was obviously a shaky commit over the next hour.

ETA2: And then went Mwani.

I predict at least 5 current players stay.

The players don't know Matt McMahon. I don't blame them for putting their names into the portal. I think several will come to like him and withdraw their names.

Portal is a two-way street.

It giveth. And it taketh away.

Wilkinson is now in the portal

LSU could lose 13 players next year

I’m optimistic some will come back but only time will tell

0 kids from Louisiana have entered the transfer portal on LSU’s team. This was a roster that was loyal to Wade not the school. Also none have officially left yet, (not saying they won’t) but why wouldn’t they put there name in the portal and see what other opportunities are out there?

Hate to tell you dude, the whole “school loyalty” thing doesn’t exist anymore.

Why do you think we are imposing a 2 scholarship reduction?

The NOA was severe enough to guess that the NCAA would impose at least that in year 1. May as well get some of those lost scholarships behind you. We will have a tough time bringing in 13 qualified players in a few months anyway. Best just to shoot for 11, act like it is a punishment, and move on.

It will be like self imposing a postseason ban this coming year when the team couldn't be expected to make much of a run.

I’m not a fan of self imposing penalties. It doesn’t always do anything for you

I feel like the next commitment will most likely be DJ Burns
