expanding the sample size makes the numbers more accurate, that's not moving the goal posts

Well pointing out that he’s a project player despite being a 4 star top 100 prospect now going into his third year doesn’t really speak well to coach McMahons development does it?

He redshirted his freshman year because he was a really raw prospect, but of course you knew that. He showed nice strides this year, but is not close to a complete player yet.

Who would you rather get starter minutes out of Jalen Reed, Robert Miller, Daimion Collins, and Corey Chest?

Yet still thinks it's wise for a team that finished 3-15 in conference to turn that away.
If you have to tow the company line just say you were wrong and actually he sucks.

Ok

Ok



Where do you expect to get a year 3 guy with SEC experience who knows McMahons system and can essentially guarantee that he has at least 1 major skill that will play at the SEC level?

Reed averaged 7.9 ppg and 4 rebounds per game in his second year and is coming off an ACL tear.

Just to requote you for context


quote:

6 PPG, 6 RPG, 0.7 APG, 1.2 TO-PG.
these are chests numbers in his second year

Miller was very up and down and certainly not guaranteed to be better than chest.

You can have all the money you want. Why would a decent tier player come here and play in that shite offense???? There is no pulse or excitement with Mac. Just look at the atmosphere in that building last night… that won’t come back until you get a coach who acts like they care.these are non debatable facts.

Other teams have money. The top guys will go to teams that have money and a coach who can win. What don’t you understand about this?

It's not like we decided to be the highest spending team in the country. One of those ESPN baton rouge guys, and they're getting fed from the LSU trough, said we're trying to get to Vanderbilt's level, which they estimated was around 10th in the conference.

LSU wound end up having to overpay for a less of a player. There are plenty of schools that a decent player would go to just to NOT play in macs system of boring mediocre basketball. There are a ton of coaches that could have had LSU in a much better position this last year, even with these same players.

I don't understand how much money LSU has relative to other teams, or how you guys know, and you refused to say how you know and just get mad I ask

This.

LSU is not in a great bargaining position. If the position is LSU needs to improve their talent by signing top major-conf. transfers, then they are going to be competing against the top programs in the country for those guys. If the money is equal, those guys will likely choose the programs/coaches that have the better track record of success. That means LSU would likely have to overpay for those guys.

Many HC's have proven they can win (to a reasonable degree) with "lesser" talent. McMahon hasn't. So that puts LSU in a spot where (A) thye have to significantly overbid other programs for the blue-chip transfers or (B) McMahon has to win with, mostly, second-tier transfers. He has yet to prove he can do (B) and it is hard to imagine LSU will have enough of a (increase) to do (A).

I asked a simple question. There was no hint of anger or jutting like what you’re claiming but you spent want to answer so you make stuff up to deflect.

Where exactly was WW getting money from- the $400,000 for Naz and the “strong arse offer” for JS didn’t actually come out of his wife’s ckbook
Seems to me these boosters have ghosted SW & McNextYears NIL fund. Those monies would be legal, strange they don’t want to give above board nowadays.

How about reducing all coaching salaries and use that for nil
