Of the top 200 Portal players, only 19 are still uncommitted at this time.

And you don't think that there's any way that Wade has 4 or 5 of those committed to him?
I would think so but why haven't they signed yet? Money?

And that number was 10mil last year but we got the same excuses. Btw Duke listed their NIL as the exact same, 10mil which nobody believes because no school declares their actual NIL numbers since they don’t have to. LSU just went through a lawsuit that proves it. You guys need to drop that excuse because it’s vapor, it’s theoretical only.

Are any of those players actually legit? Just because they are in the portal dont mean they are actually good. The rank is based on players in the portal right?

Don’t tip your hand like that buddy. We already predicted it but still, you don’t know any better so wait to bash the players until after we sign them. Jeez you guys are bad at this.

Irrelevant. The facts are LSU paid a hefty buyout and chose to bring Will Wade back and significantly increase NIL. That’s on record. How much? One could assume. Surely it was more than NC State was offering because that was reportedly one of the reasons he left, and we know by their own words that they had raised enough to compete with the top of the conference, including Duke. So, however you want to slice that is fine, but the facts are LSU hired McMahon with no real expectation of winning until last season when the whole thing derailed.

They hired Wade to win at a high level this season, and it’s fair that people are on his arse when around 90% of the good players are off the board. He was brought in to win right now and he’s already losing in the portal.

He may completely blow it out of the water with players from Europe, and you won’t hear another word from me about it, but right now, it’s completely fair to question or be critical.

So what were we doing for three years: running a charity?

You’re a McMahon loyalist. Just admit it.

Facts are irrelevant? Why am I not surprised, that’s on brand. The rest of your post is more false narrative building and nonsense

No, not to that extreme. I don’t think that McMahon was ready for the job, there’s nothing to justify bad results. However, I think that LSU gave him minimal resources and overestimated his value as a coach(in this point of his career) thinking he was an elite coach and could coach a team up to make the tournament. I also believe that’s why he got a 10 year deal.

I was absolutely welcoming to a change and have made it known on multiple occasions that I was fine with a new face, not an old one. That being said, I still hope that I am wrong in my assessment of Wade, and have also made it clear that I want LSU to win yet you continue to “project” that I want LSU to lose and that I’m a McMahon loyalist. As I’ve said before, there are valid reasons right now someone would question what’s going on behind the scenes. I am certainly one of them, but all of that can change in days or months. At this point, I would actually prefer us going the international route outside of a handful, or more of guys still available.

That fricking shite ain't happening. Its a colossal failure to this point, and thats being positive.

We might not win an SEC game this year. It doesnt matter who comes at this point. We have 1 f'ing player, ONE!
If youre a 5*, you are NOT coming here to waste talent and play a year with other unknowns. Its suicide on your evaluation to do so.

This is no longer ha ha, he he territory. This is a massive failure and quite possibly the worst "big splash" after a big time hire, that has ever been seen in sports. Guy gets hired, and not one single big time transfer follows him here? NONE? And no current contributors stay?

Complete dumpster fire with less that 10 wins, if i had to guess. How could anyone argue otherwise, as of today

Umm. I’m also worried but good lord. Get a grip man. The insiders claim we have silent commits. I’m also skeptical about that at this point but eventually we have to list a roster no matter who we sign. Why don’t we wait until then to jump off a cliff?

Agreed. Its just such complete uncharted waters at this point, that I have real issue with posters who think all is fine. Its not.
Sure I think we'll field a team. But things look grim and that 5 year rule helps in no way, since seeing no grandfathering in will be given to those in last year of eligibility.
