re: Wade initial roster

Robert miller is not a keep. He can go. We need better guys than him. He’s not tough at all.


He's not a good player *yet* but he would hardly be the first big man to take a few years to develop into one.

I'd like to keep him, all things considered. I could see him being a real defensive player with some development.

His bigs are "roll men". Outside-In offense. This does not work at this level.


Heavily disagree.

ALL Final 4 teams currently have true back to the basket Centers, they ALL average at least 10ppg.


Uh...no. Reed from Uconn is a true post player, you got that one right.

Michigan and Arizona will throw the ball in the post to Aday Mara and Montiejus Krivas when they have mismatches but the vast majority of their value is defensive, not offensive. Mara also does a ton of rolling and off ball stuff that ends up in lobs.

Tomi Ivisic from Illinois literally shoots more 3's than 2's. How can that be a "true back to the basket center"?
It never fails - any post with "downvote away" is guaranteed to be hot garbage.
Y’all can act like I’m crazy for asking the question, but many schools have made statements saying they’re keeping their current coach and committing more money to the roster instead of firing him.

I don’t remember if they leaked it or made a public statement last year, but LSU sent out that same message at the end of the 2025 season.
The season is basically over, highly doubt we are invited to any postseason tournament with a 15-17 (3-15) record

I expect there will be a statement on McMahon’s future (one way or the other) soon - when are we thinking? Friday news dump today? Wait until we are officially passed over for postseason ball at the conclusion of the weekend?

Disappointed Brown didn’t break 4.4, especially since he weighed in under 180 pounds

And I wonder if Hilton’s lower body injuries have sapped some of his explosiveness, his jumps and 40 were solid but not what he had been billed to be from the preseason camp talk every year

Dedan Thomas is a decent player but he is nowhere near all conference level. Watch Darius Acuff, Labaron Philon, or the Tahaad Pettiford if you want to see what an all conference level PG looks like.


Your post is both right and wrong

Dedan Thomas is much better than a "decent player", but to be all-conference in today's SEC you need to be a legit NBA prospect (Acuff is going top 10 and Philon probably top 20). We don't have that type of top level talent, and McMahon's teams don't seem to have the identity or continuity you need to succeed without NBA players

Also Tahaad Pettiford has had a pretty disappointing season btw, I'd take Thomas over him straight up

Somebody should tell the NFL teams Weis turned down that he hates it at LSU, I'm sure that will be news to them.
We just spent 8 figures in one football transfer portal window after the costs to buyout Kelly and hire Lane.

The costs to buyout and hire coaches are rarely all due at once. They'll make it work
quote:

They cannot spend another 2-3 years letting a young coach develop a team.


This is a myth imo in the transfer portal era

Vandy, Louisville, Iowa, Virginia, and Michigan have all had immediate turnarounds hiring mid major coaches in the past 2 years.
He hasn’t sniffed the tourney in 4 years. A official statement was put out last year saying we needed to invest in him via the portal…and the results are no different (actually worse) The guy who hired him is no longer here. Fan discontent has largely turned to apathy at a level impossible to ignore. The new AD/president just made a major splash hire in another sport.

Use your brains, people.

:rotflmao:
Not only did the team get worse today, it also got softer and less exciting. Great day to be a Pels fan
So we basically salary dumped Jose for some 2nds because we didn't want to re-sign him for whatever reason? Good stuff

The new staff that didn't recruit him just took like 9 different WR portal commits.

Obviously I want him at LSU, and I do think Kiffin is going after him, it just seems like the media is going to connect us to almost any QB at this point


All the LSU insiders basically said we have been trying to pull this off for a while. It's more than just baseless speculation

I don't know what I'm doing, but I searched FlightAware and couldn't find any flight arrivals to BR from SEA. Nothing scheduled either.


According to a Washington fan/analyst on Twitter, he has not been in Seattle over the past week or so. Makes some sense because I doubt classes (lol) have started already

re: Demond Williams comp

Posted by DallasTiger45 on 1/6/26 at 8:56 pm to
Alright this has gone too far. Demond Williams is very talented and I would be happy if he’s LSU’s QB in 2026 but he is not as good a passer as Chambliss.

Chambliss lit up EVERY SEC team he played. Even the game ole Miss lost he put up 300 yards and his team scored 35 points. Williams put up 6 points against OSU, 7 against Michigan, and 14 against Oregon. Didn’t break 14 points in any of them.

He still has to develop as a passer but I definitely like him as a prospect. He just ain’t as good as Trinidad rn.
Miami or Oregon both will need QBs and can play the big boy money game.

I think there’s almost no chance of this happening.

Which is why this random Arizona writer leaking this story when it did leads me to believe it's someone trying to screw over Kiffin and LSU.


Nah he probably just heard the scuttlebutt and now that it’s out in the open he decided to let it rip

I think there’s an excellent chance that info was correct at one time. But he may not come here given we are looking at Leavitt and other QB needy schools with deep pockets will probably approach that number as well.
