Would LOVE to hear Ben MacDonald on the radio broadcasts !!

Nope. Ive been told that about half of the roster is already set. Trust the process. Keep in mind that European basketball does not end till late May. Stansbury has a lot of overseas contacts so dont be at all shocked if we sign a few European guys in late May/early June.They can't come over for visits until their European season ends.

I've heard the exact same thing from multiple sources that I trust. You may well start seeing players enter the portal with a "Do Not Contact" tag..That means they have likely already committed. Those would be ones that potentially could be coming to LSU..I have been texting with one of the coaches but the staff is keeping things very close to the vest. They dont want other staffs to know who they are looking at and talking to because they dont want another Haggerty situation where they thought they had him locked up then at the last minute A&M swoops in & offers 4.2 million. By not revealing who they are talking to & by telling kids not to mention that LSU is offering X amount they can quietly build the roster. Its a cat & mouse game that Will has been part of before. VCU did the exact same thing under Shaka when Will was an assistant coach. When power conference schools found out that VCU had offered someone, suddenly a bunch of Power 5 schools would also extend an offer.to the same player. Shaka started telling kids not to mention VCU when kids were asked who was recruiting them. He got really tired of other schools trying to poach kids he was recruiting by offering them right after VCU did. Thats exactly what's going on now with Wade & hoops recruiting.

If there isn't any smoke then why did Mike Scarborough write a whole article about it yesterday?

They did finish 3rd one of those years they made the World Series.

Yes he does. Why do you think he fired JJ & brought in Will Wade ??. If he didn't care he would have let JJ coach another ten years. I spoke to him after Wade's last game as coach at the Indy football stadium. He wants a winner. That's why he hired Wade. He is not gonna settle for mediocrity and a last place SEC finish. Change has to be coming.

About a week after he was hired, Saban and the Chancellor flew to DC to meet with the Louisiana State Society of Washington DC. I was a member at the time. I went to the meeting. There were maybe 75 of us. I talked to Saban for about 15 minutes. I could tell he felt uncomfortable among all the politicians. We had a really good conversation. I knew LSU was in good hands. After that he just stood off to the side and made small talk. The whole event lasted maybe an hour. It was like a Tuesday at noon so a regular work day for people in DC. Really neat experience.

We have been recruiting both Bass and Randy Livingston Jr for 3 years.

He does not have the body to compete at this level. He has almost no muscle at all. He was manhandled by the big guys when we played FSU. He honestly should be redshirting. He needs at least 20 lbs of muscle to compete at this level.

Yes. Our best big guy by far, Jalen Reed is out for the year with injury. We would have likely beaten Vandy with him. He could draw defenders which left guys wide open to shoot. He was the player we could least afford to lose. Two guys can't make up for the impact he was having. He was having his best year here.
