Not tough enough for WW but tough enough for Houston Basketball? Didn’t see that coming… Interesting.

More likely he wasn’t valued by us the same as Houston

He's a really good player. People that shite on him here are going to be shocked when he's healthy next season.

I don’t think anyone deserves criticism under these rules
His agent is pulling the strings and it’s his job to get the most he can while he can
Not sure how much of a nba future he has
LSU was desperate last year and he took advantage of it
It’s not gonna be about loyalty to any school anymore

A little unlucky for him and us. He was a very good player but Houston is interesting

They’re very defensive oriented, kind of interesting choice for them

People tend to downplay players when the player decides to leave their school. I'm not sure why LSU couldn't retain Thomas especially since he has proven to be a good player. Instead they chased after Haggerty who eventually screwed them over.

No one has “shite on him” you fricking pill.

He’s obviously a very good player when healthy. Unfortunately not even he could make McMahon look halfass good against teams with a traceable pulse.

Why are we still blaming McMahon for everything? Wasn't he fired like 2 weeks ago. Was it McMahon's fault all the players transferred out and decommitted? People just love a good scapegoat!

I thought he wasn’t really that good though?

Yeah man, that 17-55 SEC record isn’t his fault!

Or he’s actually elite and we didn’t put enough around him while he was healthy. Let’s not default to the “good agent” bs. Sampson is very peculiar with who he puts in his program, especially at PG. Flemings will be a lottery pick, and Thomas is his guy to replace him. Says a lot.

Wild you say that. Not even close. Kind of funny though, so you’re saying McMahon can develop/recruit players? That’s an interesting take lol or was Reece already better than Thomas out of hs?

SCAPEGOAT!!! He was terminated 2 weeks ago. Still doesn't explain why all the players transferred out.

Reece’s potential is much better. First of all, Jalen’s size is much better. There’s a reason Reece is the only player that might stick around under the new real coaching staff.

I know you don’t watch the games so I’ll remind you. We were 0-3 in SEC games where Thomas played.
