Oh wow. Corey Chest will be a total monster in the Southland. Averaged 6.1 ppg and 6.6 rpg for LSU two seasons ago. Bill Armstrong retained his best player in Larry Johnson and added a bunch of HM down transfers.
Elijah “Choppa” Moore (Utah), Dellquan Warren (Miss. State), Jaylon Dean-Vines (Vandy), Christian Nitu (Washington), Alier Maluk (FSU). A lot of upside with some of these guys. Most of them didn’t play much at the HM ranks but have the athleticism and pure ability to stand out in the S’Land
