I hope somehow he makes me look foolish and turns out to be a great coach, I just want to win. The only problem is I don’t see anything that leads me to believe he can win at this level.

Same bro.

Being blind and moving the goal posts is nonsense... for me.

This. All this. Ppl don't understand that we actually want to win.

It’s a lack of understanding college basketball and how recruiting works. And that’s fine, not everybody follows it closely but shouting down every discussion about it and just blaming the players for everything is foolish.

So good baw

I’m interested to see if will still have posters on here blaming WW when we at the bottom of the SEC again

Is it just me or is CMM just loading up on La transfer players who weren’t good enough to recruit out of high school? You can’t compete in the sec like this.

How is he supposed to lure top out of state prospects to come to BR?

Free boudin?

It certainly won’t be the title hype, the crowds, the recent NBA draft successes, or the safe and exciting BR lifestyle that draws them.

Mid major coach with a mid major roster coming right up!

He paid them. And he never had sanctions or an NOA.

We aren't paying them now?
What are these sanctions you speak of.
If you need and excuse, just make up one.

Weird theory

The McLoser defenders go to seems to be but Woody hired BK,Kim and JJ.

Never mind woody has blown at picking basketball coaches his entire career as an AD

As far as I can tell, he's trying to build some type of culture at least around the program which he probably had nothing of last year and maybe part of why that team was as bad as it was. It certainly didnt seem like a terrible team at first (some tight non conference games, but beat Wake, lost to KSU in a fluky way, beat Ark and barely lost @ UK to start conf play) then a few games into conference play everything fell apart.

Just seemed like nobody really wanted to be here, so I think he believes by going out and getting kids wanting to come home and play for LSU he'll at least have guys willing to play hard start to finish.

I do believe the talent assembled through portal is mostly a net upgrade last year (not by a lot though), the latest guy being pretty meh more roster filler type, but I agree it is a little weird 4/5 transfers we've gotten has a LA tie. I mean it's good to have some and bring that in but I also would have swung for the fences a little more than Hunter Dean who in his 4th year of college averaged 8/6 at a mid-major and despite being 6'10 doesnt really provide the rim protection for that size. This was our last guy too since we're self imposing a 1 scholarship reduction which really means we should have swung a little higher IMO.

But basically I see this as a "build a culture" roster for him and he's getting another pass with us self imposing a scholarship reduction this season. I dont know how long McMahon lasts but it really does feel like he's just buying some time, we'll be a little better, but we're hamstrung down a scholarship player, etc...
