Courtesy Cooper - 6’8 210lbs
Emmitt Williams - 6’6 225lbs

Hopefully we can go get a transfer from somewhere. We are going to need some more size inside. Thoughts?

We definitely need at least one big body but let’s not forget it was not unusual to see Williams and Days on the floor together at the 4 and 5 spots. They almost always held their own and sometimes had the advantage over the other teams forwards so as long as Cooper is serviceable we will at least be decent to pretty good in the front court.

Eh he looks more like 235-240 to me and as we had already seen Williams and Days can dominate other teams bigs at times so their size is a non issue. They both make up for it with strength, athleticism and energy.

Watford (6'9") was on the radar before Wade's suspension, as/was Khadim Sy (6'10"). I think LSU felt somewhat confident in getting one/both. Point being, with uncertainty around Wade LSU is filling no needs right now.

Days and Williams are tremendous rebounders for their size. The lack of height concern is on defense

we have 2 big men on target right now. Wade will be released from the Brigade shortly and we will be back on the trail. Don't jump off the wagon. #bootup

Hopefully we can find a rebounder/shot blocker on the juco or grad transfer market. We’re really gonna miss KBW’s presence.

To say the least, KBW was #1 on the team in box plus minus this year, biggest difference maker when on the floor.

I know it is. But, OP posted Emmitt Williams who is the exact same size.

Wade is currently in military formation, which is largely the reinforced regiment. His division of the brigade is in hostile territory, but spare no expense......we comin' and we ain't backing down....................ya heard me hoss.
