Not the video

Harrison Valentine on Twitter had the quotes and a couple short clips of player interviews

Yeah, I had seen the tweets. Was hoping to watch the whole interview.

Still can't understand why it is so difficult for LSU to either live stream these or have them available immediately after the conclusion of them.

If the rumors are true that LSU played Baylor this past weekend and may have come out on top I can see why he likes this team.


This is the first I have heard of this rumor, do you have any details?

LSU 100% scrimmaged Baylor in Houston last weekend (I believe at University of Houston-Victoria). On Baylor's Twitter, they posted a few clips and you can see Efton and Gaines in the background. Wouldn't take much from it though for a multitude of reasons. The intent of a lot of these scrimmages is to focus on situational basketball and sets with lots of stoppages in play to teach -- especially with two schools who have completely different rosters from last season.

The next word was complete. All in one big bundle of April showering LSU national title winning gifts could have been added in there also if that makes the sentence easier to read . . .

Yeah people in the know said we once again beat Baylor in an exhibition (won 2 halves where score was reset, they didnt play a full "game" format). We beat Baylor before last season too. Wade's teams are definitely very very good.

People will see Baylor lost their Big 3 but actually have a pretty veteran squad between the senior Arizona transfer, another paid of senior starters on top of that, then a pair of junior starters. Although one of those guys likely to be replaced by the 5-star freshman they got. It's still a really good team Baylor has.

Video was finally posted on YouTube. LINK

Listening to Wade, he confirmed that Fudge is in the 8 man rotation. Mentioned that if/when Shareef can get healthy and back in the swing of things, then he could become someone that factors in.

Mentioned again that the plan is to redshirt Williams as that was what was promised to him and his family in the recruitment process. But said that if they need him he is sure Williams would be more than willing to help the team out.

Said that pretty much all of the 8 man rotation will play at least 15+ minutes, with obvious increases in minutes for starters. Wasn't expecting that as far as Fudge getting that many minutes. Thought he'd be more around 10 mins per game.

Wade said they are 110 away from reaching 7,000 season ticket sales, which is their benchmark goal. Said that would put them in the top 5 all-time for the program.

Well there is a difference. Last year Mwani and Gaines weren’t remotely threats. Neither was LeBlanc. Before Miller got hurt we were 9 deep of guys who you had to actually worry about.

I get what you’re saying, but you won’t find many if any college basketball teams that have 8 guys who can produce and can score. I think Gaines for sure can, but Mwani is a question mark. The other 6 guys are no brainers they’re able to put the ball in the hoop
