re: LSU Basketball lands 7 footer

Posted by Lapaz on 5/16/24 at 6:40 pm
Those stats are based on 22 minutes per game. Extended to 40 minutes, his stats would be close to 20 points, 3 blocks and 16 rebounds. That’s against weaker competition, but still outstanding. ...

I’m stoked by this signing. Especially without an open scholarship. They must’ve promised him a scholarship next year, unless someone else is walking on. 247 rated him as the #4 JUCO transfer. They said some nice things that are backed up by the highlights. https://247sports.com/article/lsu-b...

[quote]He’s looking at cal and Tulane. Meanwhile Suggs was between us Wisconsin Michigan and Kentucky. No way that’s a coincidence[/quote] Suggs looked great in the videos I’ve seen but ON3 has him rated at 87.5 and the 435th best transfer, while Adin is rated 88.85 and the 270th best transfer...

[quote]Why make things up? He was the highest ranking DT LEFT after the many DTs ranked above him committed.[/quote] Actually ON3 has Adin Hunnington ranked much higher at around the 270th best player with an 88.85 ranking, while Jay’viar is about the 435th with an 87.5 rating. Adin is still un...

[quote] he looks more like a Jordan wright replacement to me.[/quote] What Bailey brings seems to be in between Wright and Hannibal, but I leaned more towards replacing what we were missing with Hannibal, because I think LSU won't rely on Bailey to score as much as they relied on Wright to score...

[quote]Also a great defender. He can guard the 1, 2, or 3 spot and is a high motor guy that should improve our rebounding. He does look solid off the dribble and can be aggressive if needed but we already have guys for scoring so I'm not worried about his 3-pt percentage. I don't think we'll be aski...

[quote] Carr also dropped 17 PTS and 9 REB against us in the Charleston classic. Would be a great fit[/quote] Carr has a 4.93 on Evanmiya, which is better than anyone on LSU's team last year. Wright and Cook were our bests at 4.41. He would be an improvement over our post play from last year. ...

[quote]I like the idea of going for another wing over a center especially an elite defender like Okani, his stats are good but he does have a negative OBPR, but with Sear's defense that could even out. [/quote] Where do you get the information that Okani is an elite defender? He is good at block...
[quote]Here is a random video I found in my camera roll before the Southeastern Game on December 1. It's a video of him hitting like 5 or 6 straight threes in warmups. The shot form is the biggest thing I want you to notice. Much more fluid and clean than Baker or Reed who were allowed to shoot way ...
[quote]If we really want to run, we need an another wing. Reed should fit into get most of the 5 minutes followed by Fountain, he runs the floor very well, has great size, and can shoot it. Those are the prototypical MM big men. Not Baker or Dean. [/quote] Disagree that Dean wouldn't fit the styl...
[quote]Brother, Hunter Dean made 4 three pointers in his 5 year college basketball career. He is not a shooter[/quote] True he only made 4, but all were this year. He was 4 of 7 on 3s this year. He may not have been a shooter in the past, but he learned how to shoot. It’s true that that’s not ...

[quote]Cream Abdul Jabar just entered the portal. What are our chances?[/quote] His nicknames are funny, but Robbie Avila is actually a good player. He's a below the rim big, but he handles the ball well, is a good passer, and shoots well. He averaged 4.1 assists and 1.8 turnovers per game. He...

[quote]Then we can also fill out the roster with another Hunter Dean type transfer who is a walk on supplemented with NIL so we dont go over 12 scholarship players. Or maybe stewart stays and we just get a Hunter Dean type big man, I wouldnt think that would attract a decent enough big though with w...
[quote]Collins was too skinny last year. He will need to put on 15 pounds of muscle to be able to compete in the paint. I don't see Chest as being big enough to play the 5 or a strong power forward position. I think we need to pick up someone in the portal! [/quote] Collins was a great reb...
She was overhyped. She’s essentially the same player that Louisville had. Her 2pt % declined as she shot 46% for 3 years in a row, while she shot 40% at LSU, but she shot better from 3 point range at 34% than at her last season at Louisville in which she only shot 29% from 3. Also her Assist to tu...
The transfers have been average. The recruits have been better, but they need time to develop. All that leads to average results. ...

[quote]I'm cautiously optimistic, I would like to see a few more dominoes fall into place, though[/quote] I'm also cautiously optimistic. We potentially could be good in the post, especially with Collins that has potential to be a beast, but point guard is still a big concern. Maybe Cook returns...

[quote]The excuses stop now. It’s time to go out on the court and show improvement. It’s quite funny how bipolar the rant users are. I’ve never seen people go from loving to hating a person solely based on recency bias. With McMahon it’s like the majority of people love or hate him based on the mos...
