Is it really a concern? They combined for 15 pts on 5-15 shooting and 3 rebounds.


If the idea is McMahon is building something then you kinda need to retain those guys. Also, replacing 7-8 guys not a good thing.

Then why did MM bring them in and put them on the court?
They were better than the last guys.

You really need to find a new team to support. I’ve seen a lot of bullshite on this site, but your post may have topped it all. Congratulations.

He actually inherited 3 4-star players


who are you talking about exactly? Adam Miller coming off an ACL who was horrible after coming back? Mwani who tore labrums in both arms and never contributed? Or Justice Williams who gave you even less than Miller did?

Also McMahon had to fight for all those guys and rerecruit them.

Miller and Wilkinson will be out of basketball soon and Williams transferred to Robert Morris. Not saying they're bad kids at all, but not good basketball players.

A lot of the progress does depend on retaining Ward, Reed, and Williams. Beyond those retaining Chest is a priority. Tertiary, Fountain and Collins would round out things. Cook coming back enthusiastic would be a plus.

I don’t understand what you are saying here. The problem with the players is that they play for us? Or want to be here?

Agreed those players weren’t anything special. And I don’t think it’s a stretch to believe that the reason the best players we got in the portal (Dean, Baker, Wright) weren’t that good was likely due to a 2-16 SEC record.

If McMahon can’t get a good portal despite the improvements then he just flat out can’t recruit at a high enough level

That's why I won't be too upset if LSU doesn't improve too much next season. Sure, other teams can get better faster, but MBB is #3 in the list at LSU when it comes to getting resources. Lsu is not Duke or Kentucky.

The fact people downvoted you for saying this proves 90% of people on TD don't understand basketball

That is pretty funny. It’s like thinking what’s the worst take I can have, and then tripling down on it.

I get that most people who follow other sports on TD don't really like that guy- but personal dislike aside a good bit of the things he says about basketball aren't wrong.

If you say a million different things, you’re bound to be right on 1 or 2 of them. It’s called TPK math.

If next year McMahon can do better in ooc and just as good in conf then you're a dumbass. If he does what he did in year 1 then you're correct.
