Oh the dude who eventually saw a mins drop at miss state lol? Got down to like 10 mins a game . Also not to mention got out rebounded when he did start vs Mcneess state lol.
Nwoko only had less than 11 minutes in 1 game all season, and he was in foul trouble. He had a poor game against McNeese based on the GmSc, but he averaged 12 TRB/40 minutes.

You guys may be getting JJ Andrews. Apparently he really likes the staff there and would have larger role.
That would be awesome, but we need JJ Andrews next season!

I believe the staff wanted to just add one more body to the forward room with Reed, Miller and Sutton. Brune touched on that a little yesterday. Just a depth move
I think Tamba wll be a backup, but he started all 32 games at UC Davis last year, and 27.6 mpg. He was also their 2nd leading scorer, but I think he's better at defense, which we need. He looks fairly athletic, so I think it's a solid addition. I wonder if he expects to get starting minutes?

Mike Williams is the only player who didn't improve at 3, but he was off most of the year. I wonder if he would give us a call as he hasn't found a landing spot and a good number of minutes just opened up.
I like Williams better than Givens. I never understood why he didn’t get more minutes.

We don’t have depth in the front court either. I thought it was weird to that rothstein didn’t have miller on our bench for the rothstein 45 but it didn’t have
Rothstein45
That Rothstein site is cool, but that was a big oversight on their part to leave R. Miller off altogether, because he wasn't even listed as a loss nor on the team, and I think there is a fairly good chance that R. Miller will even start over Nwoko at center, but if not, I'll be shocked if he doesn't beat Gilhool.

Also, something interesting to keep an eye on is players in the portal who technically have no remaining eligibility. The reason they are entering the portal is uncertainty that the current eligibility framework (5 years to play 4) may be enjoined by the House settlement or the courts. That would create even more chaos for every team. Specific to LSU, it could mean they could "re-sign" a guy like Cam Carter.
A decision could be coming by 5PM Eastern today:

It is about football, but it should apply to basketball too.

Yep I’d say Thomas and Reed are for sures. I think Rob miller and Sutton will battle for the four spot this offseason. Glen west reported that we’re still in a good spot after all the additions and that we should be competing for one to two more difference makers so I think we’ll be in the market for another power 5 starter or two.
Besides Thomas, which are impactful? Also, what order would you place our transfers from most to least impactful?

Looks like he’s staying put at ISU.
"Block out the noise" could mean anything. He could still be leaving, but he doesn't want to listen to all of the noise.

Jaron Pierre Jr seems to almost be a lock to UK. Would have loved him here. Not sure who our last pieces will be but seems like they may be role types
Jaron is still not committed. He's from New Orleans, and he's ranked the 35th best transfer on 247. He has good size for a SG, and moves well. I think he would be a good addition. He declared for the NBA. I saw that Kentucky has contacted him, but what have you seen that says he is a lock for UK?

We need defenders, but maybe CMM thinks that is easier to teach. We just lost our best defender.

I hope not, because Jefferson would be a game changer. I would take Jefferson over any other transfer, even Dedan.

I don’t think most people are getting this. He didn’t bring in 5 starters that will take us dancing. He has to coach and keep developing. A player leaving told a former coach he regressed under McMahon. That’s troubling.
A couple didn’t translate to higher competition. The flip side is that Carter had his best season. Most have performed comparably.

I have roasted the shite out of Matt Mcmahon but you're delusional if you can't even admit this portal class is very impressive. Where do you think Florida got all of this talent? Auburn is also full of a bunch of mid major grandpas. Whether or not Mcmahon does anything with this roster is another subject, but the days of excuses are over. Sutton and Dedan are big time. LSU clearly gave Mcmahon a frick load of money to work with.
I love the offensive potential of the transfers, but I think we are sorely lacking defensively. Chest may have little offensive game, but he is a good defender. Jefferson is also good. We should get V Miller, Chest and Jefferson to round out the team.

V Miller looked very good for a freshman. He could create and he has a good looking shot. I think he will be a very high level player. I wish they would convince him to return. I think we’ll miss him more than anyone else.

Dioubate would be a top tier get for us. could give us minutes at the 3 and 4 spot and probably have a chance at leading us in scoring.
Just reading random tweets on Twitter though they are saying he wants to move back home... But that's why we got the NIL bags!
Diioubate would be a nice upgrade for Chest. He fouls a lot, which is what limits his minutes, but if he can learn to play without fouling, he would be really good.

The other 9 bad:
Jordan Sears
Cam Hayes
Trae Hannibal
Juice Williams
Kendal Coleman
Carlos Stewart
Dji Bailey
Noah Boyed
Hunter Dean
I don't think that's fair. I think Bailey, Dean, Hayes, and Hannibal were good players, just not stars. Sears was average, but I agree the rest were bad. He needs a couple of stars through the portal.

Looking at a starting lineup rn of
1. Thomas
2. Mackinnon
3.King
4. Reed
5. Miller/Nowko
That is a bottom half of the SEC roster with all due respect
We're obviously not done, but Thomas alone makes us better than last year. With Givens and the freshmen, that's only 10 rostered. If we get the Simpkins brothers, and if any of the freshmen surprise us, plus improvement from Givens, and then we add another athletic wing, we'll be very competitive.

LSU forward Daimion Collins, a former 5?? recruit, is entering the transfer portal, he told @On3sports
This stinks. I think Collins has a place on this team as a role player, as well as V Miller. I wish we could lure them into returning. I think Collins will see less time with Nwoko and with Reed returning, and R. Miller's development is a wildcard, but we could still use Collins' athleticism and length. I guess he anticipates that he can start somewhere else. I think Collins will play in the NBA, and its never good to lose that type of player. Also, we still need another shooter, and V. Miller is a good and athletic shooter that we will miss too. It's hard to keep replacing talent. I was hoping we would add talent to some of the core players which I thought would be Reed, Collins, R Miller, V Miller and to a lesser extent, Givens. I don't think we should expect much from the freshmen, but they may surprise us.
