Chris Jackson and then Shaq a year apart.

In 1990, we had Chris Jackson, Shaq, Stanley Roberts, Vernel Singleton, Mo Williamson - that team should have won it all.

Great individual talent, but they never learned to be a TEAM.

You do realize they played together one year...and got knocked out the tournament by a team with at least 4 future NBA players..

Got beat by David Robinson (navy) in the NCAA tourny

ETA: was wrong about the years, lost to Navy in 1985 not 1990

that's just stupid. lsu had no seniors and a couple juniors who actually played on that team. ga tech was loaded and full of upperclassmen and they barely beat lsu.
