Overstatement. The student section regularly houses all of 10 students, and we had no one show up to support the tigers in the SEC TOURNAMENT in NEW ORLEANS on a Friday afternoon.

Any elite coach has to be looking at LSU as a major project, at best.

- Not nationally prominent and in an average recruiting region.
- A team that was destroyed in the NIT and is losing arguably their best two big men.
- A rabid and demanding fan base that is going to expect 20 wins and NCAA appearances immediately, despite the previous note.

I'm not saying LSU can't return to the Dale Brown days, but I am asking this: If you are an elite coach with plenty of opportunities at currently established, elite basketball programs (this year or looking forward into the future), would you seriously be excited about coming here?
