re: WW’s roster is insane right now..

Slow down LSUAlum2001....I'm not sure "Stacked" is the word for this rosters. There are 2 players with average double digit scoring. 3 if you include Nunez at 9.8.

Will we be better? Definitely.

I think the strategy is to win now and get the attention of other portal player for next season. He is pushing the envelope of the NCAA and this will either force them to set boundaries on the pro-league guys coming into college with some eligibility left.

I am gonna need a linguistics class to pronounce these name... someone needs to get some nicknames going, quick like

These guys have never played together...it'll be awhile before they can even communicate. We will will 15-18 games at most.

If all of them come over the ones just committed now, they have a huge fish left they are actively trying to agree with under the table before the draft and maybe one other EURO that is probably more like a Madar left, but even with these 6-7 foreigners and the “normal” 3-4 transfer portal guys. Will put up a ban bet right now LSU gets over 20 wins year one with that collection of talent. Looking at these players raw numbers from the Euroleague is pointless, it’s not apples to apples. Most if not all are in their first actual year playing up in the Euroleague for their big clubs. Getting 8ppg in the Euroleague at 19-24 years old, I would say is more impressive than getting a guy scoring 20ppg coming from a low major D-1 school in the transfer portal. I posted it on the RB, what Niang for instance did in a couple of his most recent games against Partizan and Maccabi where he actually got some burn, is crazy to think about. He is right now going into Belgrade or Tel Aviv in just another pro game over there and in his first year, with all that he and the other have to go through and actually is producing. To think he won’t b be able to “communicate” when they go into Bud Walton, Rupp, or Thompson-Boling is crazy. Their current situations are 2-3X more challenging.Its basketball at the end of the day, they are actual professionals right now and for some have been for 5+ years. I do not care who South Carolina or Vanderbilt or anyone else in college basketball has that’s either a second year college guy or a transfer from some directional school that plays minutes and think these pros are not going to just lace them up and treat them like children on both ends of the floor.

Wade has talked about how foreign pro leagues always have revamped rosters and how these guys are very used to playing with completely new teammates every year. It's the model across the ocean.
