I agree with what you are saying, but I think with Pearl's hire people see another conference school getting serious about their basketball program and begin to wonder why we have not done the same. Instead, we hired Trent and now "the bullet." Not much media bounce inherent in those hires. LSU fans cry out, we want a guy that will buy us pizza....

How is that Anthony Grant hire working out? How did those Lane Kiffin hires work out? Charlie Wiess? Getting semi big name coaches aren't necessarily great things. I'm not saying he isn't a decent coach, but he's Tom Izzo or anything. And he brings trouble to every town he goes to.

If you don't think LSU is behind the basketball program, you haven't been paying attention. Look at our assistant coaches and recruits coming in. Trent was a disaster on an epic scale. We've got a deep deep hole to dig out of and we are headed in the right direction.

If anything, I could see some competition for North Mississippi or maybe North Louisiana kids. But I'm not sure it will be make or break players. We will have to see though.
