In college basketball you either need to be a calipari like recruiter, or a really good x and o coach. I'm afraid we have neither. I understand that we got the #1 class last year, but can that be replicated continuously to stock the cupboards.


No, but you need to keep in mind that LSU has treated basketball like a rec sport. Everyone knows football rules at LSU. Basketball usually gets the shite end of the stick. Hell, a large number of people on this board would tell you baseball is more important than basketball.

That won't change unless LSU decided to go out and buy one of the elite coaches. When LSU hired Saban, they sent a message to the football world that we were serious about being a big time player.

Really sad of affairs really...the athletic department has more than enough money to throw a little more to the basketball program. I'm realistic and don't expect final 4 runs every year, but don't see why we can't be a consistent tournament team.

Makes me nauseated to think Tony Bennett was practically begging to come here when we hired Trent Johnson, and we end up getting saddled with that joke.
