If LSU keeps their team together

[Jazzycat]

And adds Blakeney, Simmons and Taylor next year, they will be top five next year. That will be a solid group if Mickey, Martin and Quarterman stays.
Regardless of the coaching, that group will have some serious NBA prospects on that squad.

And there's chatter they might get Newman.

 

[Seth C]

The only question is why all that talent would want to go lose a bunch of games and barely make the tournament.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Who is Taylor?

 

[UKWildcats#8]

IF Martin and Mickey stay they must be getting paid very well by LSU.

 

[Jazzycat]

Victor Taylor, a transfer five star from Arizona....

LSU has been this way in the past with all this talent and they still end up on the losing end. If Newman is considering LSU and his problem with UK is that there is too many guards coming back next year then he needs to look at LSU. They have 3 or 4 guards that will be back next year. I know its not the talent of the Harrison Twins(if they come back), Ullis, and if Booker comes back but LSU will have most of there guards back next year too.

 

[spotter34]

I don't see Mickey and Martin sticking around next year. Their stock would not improve next year with Simmons likely being the focus inside.

 

[SemperFiCat]

They won't do anything with Jones coaching them.

 

[Fadhi]

Martin is definitely gone.

 

[Himmels]

add whoever you want, with Jones coaching they will be a middle of the pack SEC team

They may get the talent but if today showed anything they are not and will not be well coached

This. I know someone that has covered LSU and he's said to me it sucks they're getting talent because it means nothing as long as he's the coach.

 

[CatPhight_rivals65113]

They get to the NIT again next year too.

 

[anon_013cn8yrfncx2]

Well Auburn loses 4 seniors so they might be able to take them next year if they all stay and get Newman. Operative word, might!.

 

[TTTblue24]

As long as jones is there, I'm in no way concerned about lsu. If Newman wants to join that 3 ring circus, good luck to him & give me brown then.

 

[JerseyCat84_rivals57050]

.......they might reach the SEC semis, next year.

Thank you, yes, Victor from Arizona....

 

[irishcatdaddy]

Talent can't make up for piss poor coaching...... ask Ol' Mr. Daggum himself lol

Martin beasted for awhile after Mickey went out, unstoppable, of course Jones went away from him for some reason.
