Well if a program in a major conference is winning a lot then they probably dont have a vacancy at the Head coaching position. South Carolina lucked out on Martin. Yes I agree that Alleva needs to try to sell LSU to some of the big names but we got screwed with the timing of this hire..




I agree to an extent. But we have more money than many of these schools. And there is no reason that we shouldn't be able to do far far better than Johnny Jones. I'll support the guy, but I won't get the hire.

I agree in principle but I was shocked that a guy like Amaker wasnt even interested in coming down and seeing what we had to offer (personally I didnt like him as a fit Harvard =\= LSU we went down that road with TJ)

I like that Joe is taking his time with it and not caving to the old crew. However Jones has merits and if thats where it ends up then I think he will do fine. We may not win a championship with him but I firmly believe we will have a lot more talent on the court with him then we have had the past couple years.
