re: UHigh - University Lab School possible financial problems
Posted by John cocktoasten on 4/30/25 at 3:39 am
6000 a year is what the parents tell themselves to send their kids there and what the average bystander thinks.
Reality is that every single warm body that attends that school had a state funded scholarship whose values are published: can you imagine? 7-8 grand from the state to fund, not a lab school to prepare LSU teachers for a future, but used for “cheap tuition” to recruit athletes and dimwitted parents who were apparantly fine when it came time to wear masks.
UHigh “tuition” is every bit as high as other privates like catholic, rhey just get over half funded by the state leaving parents w a lower portion to pay.
Their athletic model needs to be addressed and get back to teaching teachers and babysitting LSU faculty students.

re: Curtis Givens now entering portal

Pass first PG needed to be sure. Givens checks that box.
slow, low athleticism, no alpha instinct, 1:1 assist / to ratio, can’t shoot a lick are unfortunately the other boxes checked. So bye.

The real ID “coming soon“ has been around for 5+ years now……… Maybe longer… It’s no surprise, So I don’t understand why it suddenly news

re: Cam Carter hints at waiver and 1 more year after testing draft stock
Posted by John cocktoasten on 4/4/25 at 1:47 pm
IF …. He started performing on D ….. he’s got Jrue Holiday fluidity on the offensive end. I think he can make a roster.
If the draft grades comes back and he’s not a top 60 prospect, then …… throw the man a bag and let him run it back

I did not think it was a possibility either until I opened the paper this morning and read the article…… I agree I have no clue what a waiver would be based on, but it at least seems like it’s being explored and a possibility.

Cam Carter hints at waiver and 1 more year after testing draft stock
Posted by John cocktoasten on 4/4/25 at 11:21 am
Article in the The Advocate today. chances of this actually happening?
Cam Carter is the only possible NBA level player I’ve seen here in three years. Him coming back with some better guard pieces would raise my eyebrows and interest. If there are bags to be handed out, this one should be prioritized.

Too shady for LSU. Champagne drinking A.D.’s could never employ such a cheater .. winner or not just never worth it to have such a broken man at the helm.
re: Chest and Vyc Miller
Posted by John cocktoasten on 3/28/25 at 12:46 pm
Cam is the the only 3 SEC level player I’ve seen the last 2 years…
Ward and V Miller would be next 2 in line as potential to be SEC talent.
a MAYBE argument for Jalen Reed, but hurt too soon to tell.
That’s it. No more. 2 years! Yet, we’re gonna let MM retool yet again and expect different ….

ADD SEAN MILLER!
My God LSU …. The pinky in the air Alleva and Woodford stench is sickening!
A conga line of ex cheating a-holes turned redemption stories …. All while kicking LSU’s beta a$$ on the court.

Take the proven winners with warts and all. Righteousness in the coaching world doesn’t work. What a choke job by LSU

re: Clear the Record on Woodward "Saving" Football
Posted by John cocktoasten on 3/21/25 at 11:41 am
Saving football is a total idiotic narrative created by white baseball fans because they have no clue about basketball but like football. Somehow media personalities parrot this stupidity. It will go down in history as “FACT” with zero basis in reality.
re: At least Woodward “saved” LSU football
Posted by John cocktoasten on 3/20/25 at 4:55 pm
Anyone who believes this saving football nonsense is a complete idiot… One thing has nothing to do with the other
Amazing to watch a coach who has a team with an identity… Inspired by him.

Best record in the SEC over 4 year period ….. CONSISTENCY!!
Something NEVER before done … well, maybe in the 80s/early 90s, but certainly not the last 30 years. LSU competing for the top EVERY DAMN YEAR. Long live the General
