To the people who say give MM time to recruit in basketball

It’s not as easy to convince kids to come play basketball at LSU compared to football. Do you even pay attention?

You got to give him at least 3 years and depending on the possible sanctions maybe 5 years. LSU has always struggled in men’s B ball except for a few years under Brown, Brady and when Wade was paying recruits out of his and his wife’s bank account. Men’s basketball is a total different beast than the other sports you mentioned. It’s been a half of a season that’s not enough time to make a judgement on a hire. Am I impressed so far, no I am not but you got to give him time to turn it around. His resume says he will be successful.

CMM will get 4 seasons to put his program together. This is MM first bigtime HC position unlike when SW hired Kelly, Johnson, and Mulkey.

Every other program was in better shape than MBB. They practically had no one left when CMM took over. No one.

A better comparison is John Brady taking over a program in 1997 which was under draconian NCAA sanctions. Much like McMahon he was forced to cobble a roster together with only a short time to recruit after being hired. There were a couple of lean years with only one legitimate star player in Maurice Carter. In his third year Brady won the SEC with Stromile Swift and Jabari Smith leading the way. They lost to Wisconsin in the Sweet 16. Brady had some up and down years as early departures for the NBA thwarted consistent success. He did have two SEC titles, 3 SEC West Championships and a Final Four and a Sweet 16 in a 7 year span. MCmahon is a solid coach and will be able to legally recruit with NIL funding and the program will begin to steadily rise as the talent level increases.

There are no excuses. Woody missed on the mens basketball hire

Know how I know you’re a Woody hater?

We get it dude, you’re butthurt because of another loss.

This program needs some recruiting. Give it time.

Brian Kelly took a football roster with 37 scholarship players to a team that won 10 games in year one. Football is a much harder sport to rebuild a roster than basketball.

LSU had about 56 returning scholarship players before you add in the waiting freshman class that was already recruited and committed. This lie that we only had 37 scholarship players is so overdone that only idiots use it.

McMahon had zero players on the roster and zero players committed at a time when most of the freshman class was already signed.

It does need recruiting but if you have noticed that has been crickets. That is the concern, losing on the court is whatever this year. We need recruits and it’s a legit concern that MM isn’t going to brawl with the dick bags like Pearl, Cal, Muss, and Oats.

This statement is so flawed but because this is the hill you want to die on, there is no point arguing. Just know that this is wrong...so so wrong, especially at LSU.
