We won't know much until the SEC games start next year. Not holding my breath, at least not yet. I get sucked in every year, I'm a bit irrational when it comes to LSU athletics and sunshine pumping.


Every year it looks like we have a decent BBall team on paaper and then we suck so I am also in this boat. Actually the worst looking team on paper was CMM's most successful team on the court at LSU. So yeah, I won't get excited until I see us win some conference games.

We always have that fatal flaw, which usually revolves around under performing guard(s)
Every year we have pulled at least 1 good player from the portal and 1 players who should have been the answer that wasn’t.

The difference is that he is shopping at Dilliards this year vs shopping at Marshals. I'm gonna wait and see if the extra NIL money does indeed get us there. This team this year was really just missing a PG (Sears didn't work out) and rim protector (he got hurt)....at least missing from the point of making the NCAA Trny. I'm actually excited about the transfers....to go with the players we have returning. SEC is now brutal (in most every sport) so I'd be good with a 9-9 sec record and likely 6 seed, for next season.


The Goalpost has moved so much it’s pathetic.

The General Got us to the tourney multiple time yet retards I’m here wanted him fired… McMahon gets no slack from me

He's had top 20 ranked transfer classes before. Will they be tougher and more physical? Will the parts fit together better, and compliment each other better. Will we play the right folks together at the right time? Will we improve as the year goes on and not regress?

I think the answer to all these questions and others are just as much if not more important.

Nothing about this roster suggests they will be. We’ve downgraded in terms of talent and we havebt added any toughness.

Guess we've changed narratives from "We most certainly weren't bottom 2 in the SEC in NIL" to now "The talent is worse than it was last year".

I said I wasn't going to engage with you anymore, but I'm actually really curious to see how you think this roster will be worse. I need actual details of players coming in/going out strengths and weaknesses that backup your opinion. Be as detailed as you wish.

Those two things don’t have to parallel or conflict. You’re reaching and deflecting as usual. I’ve been right about McMahon for around 1,000 days, you haven’t been right once so how about you get one day before you start making demands of me. You tell me where we’ve improved?

I, and I think most on here, on here am skeptical about MM’s chances of turning this around. Mostly because there are no benchmarks anyone can point to as acceptable.


This. He's had decent recruiting classes already. Nothing has panned out. This seems to be version 3.0. I'll always root for LSU so I hope he proves me and other wrong, but so far, I don't see it.

these days elite teams are often assembled from small school standouts. Walter Clayton of Florida is magnificent and he was an Iona gael.

Johni Broome was a Morehead st eagle. there are small school standouts everywhere in the elite 8

Huh? lol I'm simply asking you to explain how we're worse

Little recency bias I see, go back and look some more about the things I've said, I've definitely been wrong about some things, but all of that can change which makes it a 100% lie to say you've been right about everything you've ever said about him.....

Don't answer a question with another question and ::deflect:: go ahead and explain your statement, and then I'll answer yours.

Answer the question I asked. You made a statement, now explain why. It’s not hard.

See when you put people like this on the spot to give you basketball details, they can’t. They do this bs and start firing back these terms and labels to try to discredit instead of answering in detail the statement they make. Keep squirming. You’ve been so right about so many things but can’t talk basketball. Kudos.

How about you don’t assume what you don’t know and make statements based on your ignorance? You can’t answer the question but you keep barking orders. Typical of a mcmen.

Nah don’t spin this on me big dog. You said this is not as talented of a roster as last year. I asked why. Instead of getting an answer, I get a follow up question asking what my thoughts are. Then you proceed to tell me you’ve already explained this several times so I ask for a link. Still have no link, but here you are yet again saying I’m assuming things and then you double down on me to answer a question about something you said and can’t explain why you said it. Seems legit, thanks for playing.

It’s a prime example of you talking out your arse just to talk because you can’t explain why you feel that way. The reason you are now just now saying this is because he’s having a very successful portal haul and every metric there is including people on the opposite side of McMahon are impressed. Yet here you are so invested in him being wrong you can’t be excited about what we are doing. How miserable are you?
