Honestly dude, you need help bro. Mental health is a really serious thing. You toss it around a lot, but for real man, I take that shite seriously and if you need to talk, I promise I won't be my normal a-hole. 100% of the radar chill.

I agree. Mental health is a serious thing.

Same. I know you're joking. I wouldn't use it as liberally as you do. Just saying.

I’m glad you are finally paying attention.

I'm not sure what this means. I don't know how to respond to this. I think people around here know I'm passionate about LSU Basketball, really smart, but goof off a lot. We all need to smile brother.

Let's do this again.. We all need to smile brother.

Wade’s teams didn’t hedge well either except for his last year, the difference is, Wade most of the time had superior talent and they got away with shitty defense. This year, the 2 bigs are soft and never redirect guys off their spots or paths to the goal. Ward isn’t a good defender either. I agree at times they don’t defend players against their strengths. Whether that’s a lack of scouting and coaching or the players just not executing what they are being told, I’m not totally sure of, it may be both are at fault.

I don't think you're wrong.

That person might be a McMahon stalker. That's really the only thing it post about and it's always some crazy, off the wall, defensive stuff.

Recruiting has to get better to make a jump to being a contender in the SEC and beyond. I have another idea too. Annual scrimmage game against the football team. It would be good for the basketball team's toughness, maybe gain some of the fans who are exclusively or mostly football fans.
Basketball would obviously have a major advantage, but football would be able to put together a good squad every year.

Weston Davis
DJ Chester
Emery Jones
Trey'Dez Green
Shelton Sampson
Kyren Lacy
Harold Perkins

Those are just the ones I'm aware of that have a basketball background on the current roster. Maybe open it up to former football players too to make a deep squad.
Some of the bigger guys are tough to deal with at times. E.g., DJ Burns, ACC Tournament MVP.
This is something that might actually draw a good crowd as an event because there'd be interest from football fans. It seems like it would be fun and beneficial for the basketball team, but it may be difficult to get everyone to agree to it.

Look man, out of anyone here I don't think I should be lumped in with the Wade nut huggers. I get massive downvotes on the daily for speaking my mind on him.

To those McMahon nut huggers, most LSU fans that lament the fact that Wade was sacrificed for football has less to do with Wade than his ability to produce a winning product. If Wade had results like Johnson, Jones, or McMahon (thus far), he would not be mentioned on this website much.

If it is not clear that Wade is a better coach and program builder than McMahon, I don't know what to tell you. Just look at their records at LSU and other schools. Perhaps McMahon will be at LSU long enough to equal Wade's accomplishments. I hope he goes on a run to equal Wade's 5 years here. There is not an overwhelming amount of evidence to say that is a good bet. Time will tell.

All that I want is a very successful and winning program. I expect that LSU will be in the NCAA tournament every year. These may be too high wants, but I know that it can be done. I will complain about a coach and team that fails to meet these expectations. BTW, this board is the Rant. If one is tired of reading about the current program status and comparison to prior results, it is easy to stop coming here.
