re: "He recruited Shaq, Vernel. We came to LSU because of Johnny Jones."

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 thought Amaker was a horrible fit as well.

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.

I don't think he has merits though. But if he comes the guy better crush on the recruiting front because my level of support his at about two years.
