LSU loses 11 basketball players to transfer portal

[NT80]

"In a fairly unprecedented situation, that now leaves new coach Matt McMahon with zero scholarship players from this past season still on the roster.

LSU fired Will Wade on March 12 after the school received an NCAA notice of allegations detailing seven Level I violation allegations in the men's basketball program. In the three weeks since Wade's departure, 11 players have entered the transfer portal, two players left for the NBA draft and all four commitments in the 2022 and 2023 classes reopened their recruitments."

It sounds like everyone is leaving the crime scene before the NCAA starts asking the questions...

If they start the next season with no basketball players, can we take their spot in the SEC effective immediately?

Wow! Even Baylor had a few scholarship players when Scott Drew took over. What do those guys know?

But football can stay in CUSA.

Some schools regard NCAA sanctions as simply the cost of doing business.  They cheat. They win. They get slapped with sanctions.  They know it is coming and these schools just enjoy the wins and know it will come with a few years of no postseason.  A local school in Dallas does this.  LSU seems following the same model.

And neither have anything of consequences to show for it.

With the Portal and the LSU brand they will rebuild quickly and will get a slap on the hand  by NCAA and told not to do again next year.  They will be good for a couple of years and be back to the old tricks.  Rinse and repeat.

Isn’t it just the 13 then usually 3 walk ons. I figure there isn’t a limit with it being so low already. I assume all 13 can be signed in the same year.
