I'm not saying that LSU doesn't have fault in all this. I'm just talking now and in the future.

I don't see the talent this year as in previous years. But there's always an upcoming star.

As far as Shaq, I'd bet most kids in the city have no clue he even went to LSU way back when. Ideally, one or two home games in the Arena, Shaq has a small event in conjunction with the games, bring the younger kids to the game, just re-introduce the city to LSU basketball. Have the local AAU coaches rub shoulders with the big guy.

We just need to build a solid relationship with these kids, and it won't hurt for football either... maybe hire a local AAU or HS coach as one of TJ's assistants. Or Frank Wilson LOL...

You'd lose a lot of money on that bet. Shaq namedrops LSU every chance he gets on Inside the NBA, had Dale Brown at his retirement announcement, has a fricking statue outside the arena. I doubt you'd find one kid who didn't know he went to LSU.
