There were 4-5 McMahon guys in the NBA summer league this year and you also had KJ Williams who was All-SEC and averaged 14 and 8 on OKCs championship, G-League team so this idea that the talent was equivalent to the record is just make believe but he knows that, he’s just a McMahon troll.

you made this up.

. Then you looked to the source who "broke" the news. It was a person whose LSU media affiliation/specialty was coving football recruiting. It wasn't a basketball beat writer, or a national journalist whose area of focus was college basketball. It was football recruiting "specialist". Another oddity of the reporting of the "no money" narrative..until you realize that football recruiting specialist's wife worked in the LSU athletic department


that the info is leaked from LSU would give it more credibility, not less. they are the source, regardless of where you hear it from.

to be clear, your position is that someone at LSU, decided to make up a fake story to leak ? you think they did this on their own or was this a command from the top?

Ah yes, the old trope of recruiting services and analysts only overvalued the players lsu actually signed the previous 4 years and no others.

You mediocrity lovers will never learn


I don't love mediocrity I wanted McMahon fired and I am a bigger fan of wade than any other person on the planet. I am simply suggesting that McMahon didn't have good players and speculating about why. maybe its because he is a bad recruiter. maybe he is bad at team building.

Misrepresenting what I said and deflecting to a totally irrelevant argument. Typical for you

If I remember correctly, the leak dropped right after an upset win @Oklahoma and before the home game against South Carolina, which we were expected to win. The timing was very suspect since it was announced between what would be a two game win streak. Woody wanted to keep CoachMc for a 4th season and this was the prime opportunity to announce it with the added narrative that we would be winning if we were on level NIL playing field.

I’m in no way a conspiracy theorist, but many people other than myself were very skeptical of the exact timing of the leak. Prior to the win @OU, LSU was 1-10 in the SEC. There is no way you announce support for an additional year during that losing streak.

if you think McMahon's players are awesome and are kicking arse in the pros I would like some evidence of that.

MacMahon did not have good players.

why not? and it wasn't really an official announcement was it?

what exactly are you alleging here? LSU has a meeting and they said lets lie about this and here is how we will leak it etc?

JFC, never mind.

Yeah, no one ever leaks information they want out there to get ahead of a narrative without it being an official announcement.

Are you intentionally that obtuse?

Your claim

The actual quote
quote:

this idea that the talent was equivalent to the record is just make believe


Lie #1



quote:

2 of the 5 haven’t even had the chance to make a team yet because they just finished college ball a few months ago and the new pro season hasn’t started yet so I couldn’t possibly be making that claim.

Lie #2

You absolutely suck at deductive reasoning. Things aren't always spelled out and tied in a neat little bow for you.

Alt laid out perfectly what MOST LIKELY happened in regard to that late season press release that announced the worst coach in LSU'S history being retained, and the alleged increase in NIL support.

He regularly had top 25 classes, and has had multiple players in the NBA or G league. He wouldn't have been able to.sign those dudes without funds, so the "poor me with no resources" excuse doesn't fly.

Another one of their tactics. Resurrecting a debunked argument that was obliterated years ago and playing dumb about it.

I see, so you are claiming McMahon's talent was great but they just need more time to show it in the pros?

How many times do I need to repost the statement before you think you’ll understand it or be honest about it? Just so I know how long this will take.

not sure. you keep your opinion secret maybe. does not matter.

I think McMahon had pretty bad teams with bad players. you can disagree or agree or get angry or whatever.

I think wade gets way better players.
