Well, there goes the "he can't recruit elite players/transfers outside of Louisiana" narrative.


I guess the operative question is whether or not Sears is "elite"?

Best case scenario, McMahon has finally found the PG to fully execute his offense the way he envisions it being run.

Worst case scenario, this is Justice Hill 2.0 and the small stature and mid-major production don't translate to the SEC. If you compare Sears's numbers this past season to Hill's numbers in his final season at Murray St they aren't all that dissimilar.

Hopefully it is the former. But I would hold off on calling anyone "elite" until we actually see them play for LSU.

He's a very very similar player to Cook, hopefully with a better attitude. He historically kept the turnovers low until this season I'm hoping because of his workload, but if history repeats itself, 3 turnovers per game is not good.

Actually at Murray State in 2021-22 before transferring to LSU, Hill averaged 13.4 PPG. This year Sears averaged 21.6 PPG and was 9th in the nation in scoring. We'll have to see if it translates but Sears is a way better mid-major prospoect than Hill was. Sears chose us over Alabama, Texas Tech, South Carolina and others.

Beat out Alabama for him.

Had he gone to Alabama the board would be complaining about how we can’t get transfers like him.

We land him and its we’ll see, he might be another Justice Hill.


This is a very big pickup. It was very very important that we get a solid PG to add to our current roster.

Don’t say that, his best 2 games came against CCELESSA & William Woods College, if that’s not SEC competition than you’re not watching
