huge news friends! LSU signed five star mcdonalds all american kentucky transfer damian collins. he was a huge recruit but this poor fellow, his dad moved to KY to watch him play and then died. and this poor fellow had a hard season. i would imagine his motivation for basketball was an issue after losing his dad. poor guy. but good news, matt mcmahon is a friendly gentleman with a proper family atmosphere on the team. good for a young man to find his footing and throw down slammajammy jams!

i a a huge naz reid fan. moves with and without the ball, shoots the 3, dunk VERY hard. the modern big man must shoot 3s or his defender clogs the lane and destroys the offense. naz can shoot. on that pointt, the modern guard that cant shoot (trae hannibal) is a catastrophe for the same reason. at LSU, you only need two years to win the title. mulkey proved it, and johnson seconded it. maybe kelly will follow. seems possible. i think we realize LSU hoops is not at the same level of prestige and support and history as those 3 sports. so i will give mcmahon 3 years
@CagedTiger when you said wade would be punished heavily and never coach again in college you were wrong. after this year he will be the hottest name in all the vacancies. his punishment was nothing. his recruiting class at mcneese was awesome, and they will make the tournament. he will be back in the SEC in less than 2 years.
