Graves situation is sus. Dude ranks in the bottom 50 in all the athletic drills.
Yes, and he didn't do himself any favors in the shooting accuracy portion either but apparently the NBA guys love his efficiency/ analytics and may be willing to draft him in the first regardless. I don't understand it, but it could just be the nerds doing the mocks.

Sort of wish we'd just play the roster guys here. Got our 2 senior starters. Scar transfer and shanklin, carpenter and cobbins, and lamar brown and Henderson 2 5 stars. Thats 8 de's
I couldn't disagree more. The injury bug can be cruel. And if we ended just needing bodies for rest, I am fine with that. If nothing else, just to keep a little wear and tear off the front-line guys. God forbid we have any more injuries it's better to find them now than just being stuck with what we got.

Still a whole lot of “ifs” in this foreign based design plan. Let me know mid way through next season’s SEC game schedule if we still think it’s working. Not going to get excited after this past season, until the quality W’s ( yes, I said QUALITY) start to accumulate.
Ain't nothing in life guaranteed, except it will be completely different than last year.

lol...why? The whole point is to win, no? It's not 1978 anymore and we're all pulling for guys from New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Alexandria on the team. As long as "LSU" is winning - I don't care if WW pays martians to play.
Agreed. Winning trumps all.

his is worded horribly
Did he turn down a $7m offer (from somewhere else) and is coming to play for WW?
Or did he turn down a $7m offer from WW?
I doubt it's the latter bc we aren't offering $7m for a 1 year rental.
I edited it. I was trying to avoid the horribly long thread title. Also it said in the post he turned down WW. But fair enough.
So far we have supposedly offered 7 mill to three or four players - Montero, Biberovic, Dessert, and Niang. I doubt we had 7 mill for all four but maybe he was planning on spending 7 mil on one or two? if the NIL pot is less than 25 mil it might not make sense. But if the pot is 25 mil plus it could make sense to have one or two guys making 5-7mil.

All it takes is one random guy to tweet out that LSU offered $7 million for somebody and then a bunch of other random accounts do it. Next thing you know a few local and national media guys post about LSU reportedly paying $7 million for somebody. No real sources. No actual information. But everyone gets their clicks.
I wouldn’t get all butt hurt over dollar amounts. That’s not really our problem any way. I’m more focused on who he is targeting and trying to get here.
But I guarantee you the people that cover Euro League every year know more about than either of us. And that is where most of these reports are coming from.

Yeah he looked fine to me. Like I said, I felt like when he does shoot it looks good. And he seems confident in his shot to just pull up whenever he feels the need. And I haven;'t even seen anything on him from this year. That was based off last year.
Edited to add: Just watched those highlights from this year and he is really impressive. More of an offensive threat than the previous year. Whoever gets him. That's a talented young man.

Agreed. That still leaves a massive hole at SG. Shaping up like this is going to be a defense + points in the paint team.
There's also the hope that we're sleeping on Bashir and he can start at the 2.
I mean Bashir is a high volume, high percentage 44.4% last season sharpshooter.

This was the write up on Spagnolo -
Matteo Spagnolo
Solid size for a PG, he’s very strong, downhill savvy guard, has legit on-ball creativity, pretty quick, athletic and just a really fun watch attacking and drawing contact, missed a few at the rim looks that he should have converted, 58.6% this season so he should be fine scaling to college. He does not space it well enough nor take a lot of 3s generally, so he’s very much just a slashing playmaking guard, went up vs some high-level EL and NBA players and looked the part should be pretty good in terms of EU guards in college, but without much a shot he’s firmly behind Ellis and Madar for me
Stats: 10 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 4/10 FG, 23 mins.
Nice. Could be a good option if Madar falls through. Those guys I posted from YT talking about Biberovic mentioned that we had offered Montero but if we end up with Madar he is still a really good get for college. Neither are on Montero's level but I would be happy with any of the 3.

Matteo Spagnolo- Baskonia’s reporters already reported that he’s leaving for the NCAA, so did Travis Branham, TBD on where.
He is actually a pretty talented 23 year old all around PG. He can break down with the dribble, pretty good distributor of the ball, can pull up and shoot with confidence, got some steals but not the strongest at 6'4 196 but he is playing pretty well against grown men.

Wade made an offhand comment that this is the last year we will likely be able to do something like this because of likely knew rules going into effect
So he is going to take full advantage while he can
Exactly. If he can push this across the finish line this year and make a run in the tourney it will only boost LSU's name for recruiting next year.

If he can just get this program back up and running at a competent level, I think finding NIL support will be easy. I'd imagine that donors want to see what they're investing in first. Even though he won here before, the landscape has changed quite a lot.
Agreed. If he was able to field a team with Montero, Biberovic, Dessert, and Niang they would have been filling up the arena and getting mad money from donors. That would have been a legit collection of Euro League guys. Hopefully he still can get some solid pieces maybe not an entire starting 5. But there are a lot of guys over there that are still playing that he could be waiting on.

Tarik Biberovic Euro League Champion reportedly turns down WW.
Apparently Wade is shooting his shot to potentially make a Euro League all star team at LSU. These guys aren’t huge Will Wade fans but they admit if he can pull it off, it’s not something the college world has seen to this extent. To be clear he said, no. He's basically one of the tippity top Euro guys.

In his highlight video he shows that he can do anything you need within 10 feet of the basket. We have plenty of stretch type guys. And we will probably get at least one or two more. He is the one you want down low. And if he is more than 10 feet from the basket he is usually breaking to the basket to give his guys a target.

I find it odd that you whiney bitches didn't say shite to the dick bag that actually came in and derailed the thread.
And instead of coming in to move the conversation along about Dessert, you just bitch and moan at the wrong people. Continuing the derailment. You and Jamarr need to STFU.
As for Dessert, there hasn't been any news stateside, yet. I'm sure when there is, a new thread will be started. Or it will be in the thread up top. Thank you and have a nice day!
