re: The problem with early departures

quote:Ok, then most of our early player departures aren't NBA related but for other reasons. Poor recruiting, how the team is put together, key injuries - whatever else. I have the distinct impression that year in, year out LSU is for some reason or another rebuilding its basketball team. And if my impression is not far off from reality, that means there is an almost systemic lack of experienced LSU upperclassmen out there. And that has got to have a cumulative impact on player development among the younger team members. Which is then passed on to the succeeding teams.
Any other attrition or lack of experience on this team is due to poor recruiting and team construction.
Sorry if I was bashing the NBA wrongfully in this case.

There's no doubt that there's been a lack of consistency and development the last few years. I attribute most of that to poor recruiting by Trent Johnson.
This criticism may have more validity after this season, depending on how many early departures there are. But in college basketball now, I don't know that you can expect more than 2 years from a guy with good size and ability. We were lucky to get 3 from JOBIII. Hope we can get four, just from a selfish standpoint. And I think it could start a good trend.
