Message: [QUOTE="SECbbfan24, post: 4539606, member: 9360"] LSU lost 4 of their 5 starters and their entire bench (minus 1 player). LSU has 10 scholarship players on the roster and 8 of those players are new (transfers or freshmen). I get the schedule was made way before the transfers came in but the schedule is still bad even with that (we all know that). The schedule seemed more about giving the team lots of games to develop chemistry, confidence and give many new kids playing time. What the schedule didn't do is give the team the opportunity to be challenged to grow quicker in areas and to be put in adversity early on. It also didn't give anyone a gage (own coaches included) of what they truly did and didn't do well. It was a conscious decision from LSU's staff... they knew good and well what the schedule was going to accomplish and not accomplish. This schedule is historically bad even by Kim standards. I doubt her schedule will ever be full blown OOC schedule that is top to bottom challenge. But hopefully moving forward there is some type of a balance relative to the talent and experience of her own squad moving forward as she gets more of her own players (recruiting). I believe LSU is supposed to be in the Naismith Hall of Fame Classic (per a LSU luncheon) and they will surely get at least another quality opponent from the ACC/SEC challenge. You don't even need a bunch of top 10 matchups, if you schedule a couple ranked opponents mixed in with some solid mid majors/P5 programs, I could call that acceptable. [/QUOTE]
