I am fully aware that there are many naysayers and doubters of the Johnny Jones hire, but I am so excited about the change of LSU Basketball. I just feel the program is going to turn 180 degrees, and is going to return to the competitive level not only in the SEC, but with non-conference teams throughout the NCAA. For the first time in a very long time, I feel that LSU Basketball has hope. No longer do I have to watch Trent Johnson sit on the bench showing no emotion or direction for his players. I know this is premature, but I just feel like LSU is turning the page to a much brighter chapter in the novel of basketball success in Tiger Town. Whether you like the hire or not, please get behind Jones and the Tigers, and give them your full support. If you want to bring the roar of the Deaf Dome back, then jump on the Purple and Gold Magic Carpet ride and let's do our part as loyal devoted fans and season ticket holders. Great things are coming! Welcome home, Johnny Jones!

Bruce Pearl committed career suicide twice and never even won anything along the way. According to the NCAA, Johnny Jones has never committed career suicide.

LSU basketball is in GREAT shape. Great results will soon follow. Geaux Tigers!

I think of it as a recruit. There are tons of talent out there, but only a few want to play for your team. Jones elected to take the LSU job because he loves the place. I'll take that over a mercenary any day.

We won't know for awhile whether this was a good hire or not but we do know now that JJ does have an enthusiasm that TJ never had and never will. TJ could not get a maggot excited about a garbage dump, and I think that spilled over to his team's play and his recruiting. JJ said more to create excitement in his presser than TJ did in his entire tenure here. That is a huge improvement but it will still be about winning!
