I really like this kid hopefully he gets to represent LSU in the NCAA tournament at some point.


He has also stuck with McMahon throughout the process. That has been a nice to see since most kids have bailed

Fantastic news. He's easily my favorite player of the CMM era. Hopefully this is the year we break through.

The expectations that the mcmen have forced on him are completely unfair.


I feel bad for him.


If he’s not a young Tim Duncan then he won’t have reached their expectations

Be fortunate if he is ready to play by the SEC opener next season. Most players aren't the same in their first season back after an ACL tear.

What are you even talking about

He's a good player and more importantly a big body in the paint we desperately lacked after he went out.

Mc men have claimed upwards of minimum 4-5 wins and possible NCAA tournament bid THIS season had he not been injured

there were 5 conference losses by single digits and all of them were against tourney teams. Your best big doesn't have to be Shaq to say they could've made a big difference in that

You don’t think his injury was significant?

teams with the most jalens are better. most teams have about 0.8 jalens. this LSU team will have two, reed, freshman PG Jalen Reece, and coach Jalen Courtney brown.

same applies to baseball and the name cade/Caden/kaden

He was probably this team’s best player.

Can’t say how many wins that translates to, but this team obviously missed him.

Great to see a player stay committed to a school & coach in the NIL era. Hope he is fully recovered and has a great SR season.

If he stayed healthy I believe the season would have turned out differently. He seemed to be the centerpiece of the whole thing prior to the injury

I bet he he leveraged his return to get all the NIL money… 5’11 guards who can’t shoot incoming
