Coming into the 2006 – 07 season , the Tigers returned four starters , including Glen " Big Baby " Davis , and LSU fans hoped that Rolle would replace the shot blocking skills of Tyrus Thomas , who had left early for the NBA . As such , Andy Katz of ESPN named them the fifth best team in the nation in the preseason . Rolle 's averages improved slightly to 4.0 points , 4.1 rebounds , and 16.7 minutes per contest , with nine starts and 31 blocks . He had a season-best nine rebounds against Tulane on December 22 , and recorded his first double-digit scoring night against the Tennessee Volunteers on March 8 , 2007 , in the SEC Tournament , when he shot 5-for-7 from the field in 18 minutes for 10 points . However , two herniated discs in his back impeded further progress . The Tigers finished the year 17 – 15 and 5 – 11 in SEC play
