How is it possible to not recruit one high schooler in 4 years that has any true success as a freshman. He literally has to be the worst talent evaluator ever. Every single team that has success has a good freshman. It can’t be that hard.

Well, it’s hard to have much success when you don’t play. He signed 3 freshmen this year. Only one plays meaningful minutes.

He’s tried to build a program like at pre-2020 Murray St where you sign HS players and develop them over 4-5 years. Unfortunately, the game changed…LSU’s HC didn’t

He needs more NIL to get better freshmen.

That just shows you that he is that bad! Almost 4 years and you can't get 1 freshman in than time who can really play.

Make him suffer without giving buyout

You cannot deny what McMahon‘s record was at Murray State. He is a very good basketball coach. The problem isn’t him. It has always been LSU.

He’s basically had one above average year without Morant as a head coach. He’s not meant to coach in the big leagues.

Please explain this to me like I’m a child. How is it LSU and not him?

Its not just that, its that guys don't develop.

Miller is arguably worse than he was at the end of last year

Serious question: Has McMahon been able to build a stable roster that lasts more than one season?

I mean, there is typically only a handful of difference maker freshman. But they don’t stick around if they are any good.

There are a LOT of reasons to criticize MM. This probably isn’t one of them. Basketball are mostly year to year now. There are very few “stable” rosters

Murray St had 7 seasons between 2022 and 1990 with less than 18 wins and MCMahon had 2 of those.

They are the Kentucky of the Ohio Valley Conference. Winning there proves nothing other than you can maintain a program

So there isn't a core of 2-3 year players who might know a "system" that McMahon may or may not have? So it's all like a playground team where the teams just pick each year from available players who show up?
