Daimion Collins commits to LSU
- Thread starter shaudyshaud
- Start date
There are some real losers in this thread man. It’s sad. Pathetic. He got MUCH closer to home. Had he stayed, most y’all would have cried “all we have is Collins. He sucks”. Hate on Cal all day, but leave this guy alone. His dad died and he still gave his all. Y’all need to do some soul searching.
That's a myth. The elite talent that has passed through UK on their way to NBA success were always going to end up there.
Yet another phony baloney credit falsely attributed to the used car salesman.
I think this is good news for Collins and that is what is most important.
Cal sucks and I’ve been ready for him to leave for a while, but stop using your narrative to blindly hate on kids that can’t help Cal brought them here and they weren’t good enough. He gave his all. He wasn’t getting playing time here. Wish him well and move on with your life.
Lmao calling someone snowflake while getting offended at someone explaining how he is closer to home than some schools in Texas, tells me all I need to know about you, cornbreadandbuttermilk

The only major schools closer were TCU and SMU.
Looking at TCU, they are bringing both of their main PFs back in Emanuel Miller and JaKobe Coles, along with Micah Peavy. They also have their backup center that started some, Xavier Cork, back too. Then they picked up an Oscar-lite guy in the portal in Essam Mostafa. So he would be 5th or so on the depth chart there too. Maybe Miller/Coles/Peavy play a lot of SF, but Collins would have to fight for PT there regardless.
SMU has less competition. I thin Collins would maybe even start there. But they've brought in a couple bigs from the portal and returned a few Collins-level guys. They are in the AAC though, which is losing several of the top schools once again and adding 6 really mid-major teams.
Good maybe he will get some actual coaching. I wish him the best and hope he lights us up.
It’s literally everywhere in this thread. This board has gone to pure shit.
He not only will probably start, he might be LSU's best player.
Also, his mom is out in the middle of nowhere.
3:10 from Fort Worth (TCU)
3:55 from Waco (Baylor)
4:20 from Houston (UH)
4:20 from College Station (TAMU)
4:35 from Baton Rouge (LSU)
5:00 from Fayetteville (Ark)
5:00 from Norman (Okl)
5:20 from Austin (UT)
5:20 from Stillwater (Okl St)
Those were his closest choices, unless he wanted to be at a mid-major, and even then he was looking at being at least 2:30 away from her.
I think that's more frustration at Cal losing everyone and not being able to add any players.
It’s insane what hatred has done to members of this board. I’m done with Cal too, but to look away from facts and blindly hate on a kid that went through tragedy and stayed here is beyond my understanding.
Did that salesman get that elite talent to pass through UK?
Don't you dare bring your facts and reason around here sir!
Oh I get that. I’m frustrated too, but let’s not hate on this kid. Look at some of the stuff said here. It’s sad. I’m genuinely about done with the board. Barely post anymore anyway.
I can't see how you can think Collins would be LSU's best player. IMO, he probably will get 15 MPG.
I didn't realize Baylor and Houston were closer. He definitely wouldn't find playing time at A&M though.
I think it is most definitely a swipe at Cal. It gives Damion a chance to play against the coach that did very little to develop his game and buried him at the end of the bench. LSU is closer to his home than almost any other big school, but has that added bonus also.
Good luck Mr Collins!!! Hope you have a great bounce back year. I’ll be pulling for you against every team but one.

The kid worked his butt off, he just wasn’t able to put on the weight needed to bang in the SEC. He will be an excellent weak side defender because they will play a good amount of zone. I can see him averaging 8 and 5 and 2-3 blocks per game.
Yes, because he's a successful used car salesman. You think guys like Wall, Davis, Boogie and most of the rest couldn't have gotten to the NBA anywhere else or under any other coach?
Is this a parody account?!?! You said no one is hating on Collins and you literally said the most hater thing in the whole thread:
If you are this sensitive maybe stay away from message boards.My goodness how do some of you guys live in the real world....
That's my whole point!
They could have had success somewhere else. But I'm happy he got them to come here instead of somewhere because I got to cheer for them and enjoy their time here.
What a terrible take. No shortage of these kind of ill-informed takes on RR lately
It's insane how entitled some of our fanbase has become. The kid literally moved hours closer back home. He did NOT have to choose a school in the state of Texas just because he was making a family-based decision. Still needs to be a good fit, consider playing time, consider NIL, consider family obligations, etc.
KJ Williams was a 5th yr (Covid) SR. The rest of that LSU team really sucked. I'd have put Theiro, Wheeler, Collins, Onyenso & Fredrick against them (w/out Williams) and felt good about winning.
Collins would get 15mpg next year at UK if he returned. if he don't start, he's getting 25mpg. But unless they have a really good portal transfer, I think he is their best player.
Actually he has a point.Collins had a huge loss so gets somewhat of a pass but to be honest in his first season he looked worse in the end than the beginning.Ware was here 3 seasons and never developed one post move.Livingston didn't improve by the end of the season either and Wheeler regressed before quitting.Why is that?
