I've watched them play in two games and both games, LSU players got technicals - tonight one was for taunting. They play very cocky. It's hard to watch. Kim let's them do whatever they want!I don't know how many transfers LSU has, but Tennessee has several in key positions, beginning with Rickea Jackson who was benched for a few games for disciplinary reasons last fall, as I understand it. Jordan Walker, Jasmine Franklin, Jasmine Powell, and Jillian Hollingshed are also transfers, although one transferred earlier than this year. But that is probably way more than half their minutes and talent--the only home grown star is Jordan Horsten. Trying to meld a team out of a bunch of relatively selfish players (maybe that adjective is harsh, but abandoning your team, friends, and university for personal gain seems to qualify in my book,) who don't have a years-long commitment to each other or to your program, who may be thinking from the day they join the team about whether they will return for another year or move on--that must be an impossible task.
That said, Tennessee is embarrassingly bad for all their talent. They don't have an offensive identity and turn the ball over way too much. They have under achieved big time with their roster talent.
LSU is going to get the win but neither team was overly impressive.
Frankly, I am delighted when excessive transfers lead to poor results.
