im not impatient lol, I'm asking when or what is the usual time they start showing interest or signing? Its been 21 days. Other universities have gotten an ample amount of signs and interest but here its wildly quiet.

That's a legitimate question, instead everyone gets triggered and upset

So far

1. A bunch of TD lifers got mad and expressed their pain with ridicule.

2. Nobody gave any names or a time frame to show why other schools are inking players but not LSU.

Got it.

You like Pear balls, go have one.
Do like you usually do lick on it for a long time then you’ll get the juice.

I will assume you are asking a legit question despite all your comments having a dumbass tone.

1) As others have said, the portal closed for new entrants but the players have all the way until the next semester starts to sign and enroll.

2) There are several G league players that are tryng to get eligible and believe they will be successful in that attempt. CWW is linked to at least one and possibly more.

3) There is legislation that might pass soon that would allow players to play 5 years no matter their redshirt status. If that passes there will be a large pool of experiienced talent that is looking for a place to land.

4) There are several players that are deciding between college and the NBA and most of them will wait until after the NBA combine in May to decide.

5) there are most likely European and other non traditional players also being courted to play college basketball.

The people in the know say that CWW has 7-8 guys signed but is keeping it silent for one reason or another. I also think CWW is keeping spots open for the 5th year guys, the G leaguers, and the potential NBA guys that might come back. He may have a few signed but if he annouces it then other prospects might see that we already have good talent and look elsewhere. This would become a big problem if the guys we are banking on becomming eligible don't become eligible for one reason or another. I am also sure that CWW is working a HS recruit or 3 to give us some building blocks going forward.

Is it concerning that we only have one officially announced player at this point? Absolutely.

But CWW has a proven track record of building rosters and getting them into the NCAA tourney. At this point we need to trust he knows what he is doing and judge the roster when its done. Am I stressed about the way this is unfolding? You bet your sweet arse I am. Do I think CWW has a plan? Yes I do.

Some players hung around here till wade arrived...then they hit the portal. That should tell you a ton

WTF. Wade arrived before the portal opened.

And yes, there are 100s of players still in portal. And yes, most of the best are gone.
This will be an bad team, at best.

---

thats explains why so many people got triggered from an honest question

Hope it turns around some so WW can field a team. I mean he has 15 mil to work with and they still not coming yet?

Its been 21 days

there is great significance to the passage of time, in fact, there are roughly 190 days until the mens basketball team plays an actual game. Interesting how that makes 21 days seem so small...
