I dunno that we need these guards, we are set with 5 pretty useful ones. we need a big man, a shot blocking rebounding beefy fellow, and that's about it. 5 guards: Carter and sears the vets, VMiller and givens the rookies, and williams the returner. that should be plenty. should have eno...

[quote]I doubt Wade was bankrolling everything out of his own pocket[/quote] why? paying players from your own salary seems smart. you get better players and win then get more pay. two great players can completely change a program and your career....
[quote]if you know anyone close to the program, they can confirm his almost total reliability on analytics for his decision-making[/quote] analytics as opposed to what? random?...
[quote]If you strike out 30% of your plate appearances, you won't win many games[/quote] all batters make an out most of their plate appearances. it doesn't matter how they make the out. if they GIDP that's also bad. worse than a K. a K at least made the pitcher throw some pitches and tires him...
[quote] guess that thread about him leaving as soon as the season was over was complete BS. Who started that one?[/quote] I think that thread has been deleted. it didn't make it seem more credible when the person called him "Trey" ward. the thread is in the Google search results but when you...
[quote]there are differences between a scholarship player and a non scholarship player and it has to do with more than just how their tuition gets paid[/quote] I agree you said this a lot but have no evidence for it. just saying it doesn't count as evidence. I repeat. the idea that Dean got le...
[quote]I said a bunch of times now that I was not speaking of finances[/quote] a scholarship is explicitly a financial issue. there have been times when a star player gave up a scholarship to help the team and still were the star player. Jarvis varnado at Ms state did this. scholarships are ...
[quote]And I’ve listed ample reasons as to why that is.[/quote] yes largely to do with your feelings. coach wants to win and play the best guys on his roster regardless of the particulars of the finances of their educations. if he plays player X over player Y its because he thinks that will he...
[quote]It’s not about who the bursars office gets the money from. That’s not at all what I mean by “the scholarship situation[/quote] that's exactly what scholarships are. the have to do with how the tuition is paid. you can also pay with NIL. in fact walk-ons has been paying tuition for wa...
[quote]When you look at the bigger picture there HAS to be a reason as to why Dean hardly played. In my opinion the only logical reason is that Dean was not on scholarship. [/quote] I agree that's your opinion. your opinion is supported by nothing. baker played because he can shoot. he didn...
[quote]Can you provide an explanation for why this might be? I can, it's the scholarship situation[/quote] based on what? [quote]Finding out Dean wasn't on scholarship answered a lot of my questions[/quote] how? [quote]McMahon is quite clearly very old school. He favors seniority but ...
[quote]Any chance Hunter Dean gets another year of eligibility?[/quote] no he was already a 5th year player, one at southern miss, 3 at GW [quote]I'd be willing to bet the opposite is true. And Givens might even back up Mike Williams too[/quote] I think that if sears starts the season at PG ...
[quote]The advanced analytics didn't like him last year, and he projects poorly for the SEC. Maybe CMM can beat the analytics, and Sears will be what LSU was missing[/quote] sure hope so. I am high on Curtis givens, he plays with future NBA players right now so he should be ready to really fight...
[quote]but there are unspoken rules in a locker room and there is usually a pecking order on the team. this is abundantly clear if you've ever played a sport at any level above elementary or middle school[/quote] well tough guy congrats on being an athlete. everything has a pecking order or hi...
[quote]how much media do you consume related to LSU MBB besides the actual games themselves?[/quote] quite a bit [quote]how many games do you go to in person? [/quote] 100% of the home games for many years. listen to every coaches show, read everything possible. sometimes drive to Nashvill...
[quote]locker room politics[/quote] how do you know about this, who is it that is making the rules about who plays how much relative to their scholarship status? how much can a player without a scholarship (but paid via NIL) play without upsetting whoever we are imagining being upset? shouldn't...
[quote]then the only other option is that he didn't play bc he wasn't on scholarship[/quote] I don't understand, why does the scholarship or lack of one have anything to do with minutes available? ...
[quote]I think it’s really dumb that Dean didn’t play significant minutes for the sole reason that he wasn’t on scholarship[/quote] how do you know that's the reason...
