"These fans haven't been in that locker room and they don't understand what Johnny Jones means," Ceasar said. "I could have gone to a lot of places, but I came to LSU because of Johnny Jones. When he came to recruit me, he made me feel like the prettiest girl at the prom.

"He recruited all of us. He recruited Shaq. He recruited Vernel (Singleton). He brought us all in.We came to LSU because of Johnny Jones."


It always seemed to me that the best response to this is:

and we still didn't win anything. X's and O's is one component. Recruiting is one component. Demonstrating that he had a good class or couple of classes is nice, but the fact remains they fell short. Has Johnny recruited any players near that caliber in the subsequent 20 years or so?
