I am excited about Johnson's great recruiting class for 2010 as are most LSU fans. However we need to keep it real. It will take a couple of years to develop this talent to play at the D1 level. For example, North Carolina's 2008 recruiting class was ranked #11, and the 2009 class #5 according to Rivals. What did they do this year but go 16-16.

Yes, Kentucky was great this year, but the 2009 class was one of the best of all time and they still played like rookies at times.

LSU basketball fans need to remain patient. I hope for a great season in 2010-11, but more realistically, it may be the 2011-12 before we see real results.

are you kidding? LSU fans expect NC's in every sport, every year...re: the who to replace Van Chancellor thread from this week

All I want is for them to be competitive early in the season and win late...

NCAA bid could be a stretch but CBB changes so much yr to yr now that a bid is not out of the question

To know whether they are too high, one needs to know what they are. Do you have any credible evidence indicating what LSU fans' expectations are for 2010 in basketball? A few posts on TD.com isn't credible evidence, by the way. Even a poll on TD.com, while much better, is still inconclusive.

Basketball is interesting in that it can be turned around quickly. Yeah, the SEC title is probably out next year but down the road there is no reason to be pessimistic. Looks awesome. Gonna be a fun ride.

All I want for next year is win more than you lose, and at least make the NIT so I can see some games televised in March.
