Bobby Hurley is supposedly in trouble. I am sure that Shawn Phillips expected more when he followed Adam Miller (thanks Adam!) over to Arizona State. While starting, he seems to get pulled early and limited to only about 15 minutes a game.

Would you take him back to LSU to be our transfer center to work with Collins on replacing Baker and Dean? Or would you look for someone better?

I have no idea how Bobby Hurley still has a job over there. They have sucked for as long as I can remember.

You ever taken back a girlfriend who dumped you? They usually work extra hard to please you. No idea if centers are like ex-girlfriends

Assuming Cook is gone , lsu needs an elite pg , a 4 or 5 that rebound and give lsu points in the paint, and a replacement for Wright. A shot blocker like Phillips would be nice but the other needs are bigger IMO

The Hurleys all seem like miserable people

LSU has to get bigger and stronger inside, they got pushed around way too much this season.

They also need a healthy Carlos Stewart to replace what you lose in Hannibal and Wright. I would go after Tyrin Lawrence from Vandy if he hits portal.

Id gladly take him back, there's better talent in the portal but still.

I think he broke his foot early in the season which may be part of the lower minutes. At worse he can give you hunter Dean level production(Who probably should have played more). It's hard to get big guys in cbb so you kinda have to ride the wave with young ones.

Why, so McMahon could sit him on the bench again?

I am sure I could start a thread about signing the next coming of Michael Jordan and you would turn it into an anti-McMahon rant.

That's one formidable hurdle the current iteration of LSU basketball just can't seem to rise above

I know you hate facts but the only time Phillips got extended minutes last year he produced a double double.

I’m willing to take anyone in who can make this team better without being a cancer in the locker room.

Go pull for someone else. While you’re at it, frick yourself with a sandpaper dildo.

That’s what “the only time” means yes. When you’re given no other opportunities it’s hard to show anything.

No I don’t think I will and you should keep your sexual practices to yourself.

Seeing that Mulkey article stating that LSU spent half a mil more on the support staff for women's basketball than the men's program, the issues are way deeper than Mcmahon.
