mostly brandon murray and julian philips. plus pinson would be solid at PG.


22-23 stats

Brandon Murray 14.4 ppg 3.8 Reb 34.8% 3pt.
Julian Phillips 9.5 ppg 5.1 Reb 26.8% 3pt.
Xavier Pinson 13.0 ppg 2.9 Reb 33.3% 3pt.

Exactly. This is why the entire time we had Wade, I said it's better to cheat (which we can debate if he was even really doing that when every other couch blatantly gets away with it) and have a competitive and exciting team than running a straight program and sucking forever. I hope the people who wanted that are happy.

so what happens when mcmahon loses half of this years team to transfers, graduation and the draft? he's got 2 incoming recruits. 51st ranked class.

Why I would play the freshman and hit the Portal hard.

A lot of that talent is G5 talent that isn't ready for the SEC

Still a thing with the transfer portal but you can just rebuilt totally in an off season. Still gotta go get those transfers. And it’s gonna be hard till we know one way or another about the NCAA investigation

HE BROUGHT HIS PLAYERS WITH HIM FROM A TEAM THAT WON 31 games! How freaking hard is this to understand that this is NOT a total rebuild? He had those guys when he took this job man.

Tbh is IS NOT football! Hell, football is not the same anymore. So many teams have 1 and some players forever in basketball.
Don’t give me that “NCAA shite either”. These kids care about 1 think - getting drafted.

alex fudge, who has been good, and efton reid and 5 star freshman traore

pinson
murray
miller
philips (5 star and awesome)
fudge/reid

that's a good, fast athletic team.

i agree reid hasnt been good at gonzaga. thats an excellent team and its hard to get minutes there. fudge and murray have been excellent.

gaines was gone anyways regardless of wade but he has been very good. i think miller would play better if others around him could shoot.

if you are arguing wade's team this year would not have been good, you are incorrect.

this is such a false narrative. Just STOP. There are no more than 5 players on thr court at any given time. He brought with him 3 players from HIS previous team that won 31 games including an NCAA game just last season. 2 were starters and one played a significant role. He had Miller, who by all accounts was likely starting but at a minimum a 20+ min guy last season u til his injury and Wilkinson who has shot 40+% from 3 all 3 previous seasons and is a dog defender. Then he brought in a top 20 class with 3 6’10” centers 2 being 4* and one 3* and a 6’7” swing man that was a high 4 low 5* freshman have not played or developed. Then there were all of the other transfers that are playing. There is talent. The fact is I don’t mind losing. It is how poorly this team is playing and his inability to get them competitive is a problem.


This team is not very talented, sorry some of you cannot accept this fact. Using Miller and Wilkinson to make a case otherwise is laughable. If you want to make the case that MM should have done a better job when turning over the roster, do it. But don’t be dishonest. Wade’s first team shits all over this team from a talent perspective.

surely you can accept that OVC is not an amazing conference. he was literally playing tennesee tech and shite. the players he brought outside of KJ are not amazing. hannibal and juice try hard but they are small and not great shooters. those are not SEC winning players.

its a total rebuild.

McMahon will be rebuilding his team for 4 more years and then fired.

How, with another fine dam offer over the phone. Plus another check out his wife’s account. When are people going to understand that WW did this to himself and LSU basketball. Everyone of ya’ll have hatred for DB for all the things he pulled off against NCAA rules

Hell no. I guess if some kid stole money from you that would be ok because other kids do it. Not hardly you would be outraged. WW got caught cheating and put my beloved LSU in jeopardy.

How can a team go so bad so quickly! It has to be coaching. I am not sure we can beat anyone in Div 1

Definitely true! CWW was the man. He was all in for LSU also. Dude had a desire to win at all cost. Ended up getting him :(

We weren’t getting a ban. Wade won’t get a show cause either

Why doesn’t Scott get on the phone with his buddy Emmert and make something happen to get Wade back?
