Have you knocked Rudy off your all-time 5 and put Ben Simmons on it yet?

If he ends the season with his same or better stat line, it'll be hard to not think of Simmons as a top 5 LSU player of all time.

Shame he will probably never hang a banner in the PMAC for Simmons, probably won't need a degree and it would be more based on his pro career than his one and done year.

My top 5

Petit
Shaq
Rudy
Pete

Chris and John are 6 and 7

Ben Simmons hasn't done shite yet. The potential is there, but I don't see JJ parlaying Ben Simmon's one year at LSU into anything but a missed opportunity.

In a couple years, very few will remember that Ben was here. He'll be a great NBA player that only played one year in college on an unrecognized losing team. Nothing against LSU but he will have no LSU legacy.

Rudy will forever be on the all time stories starting 5. Guy has some of the best tales I've ever heard anyone tell, and is one of the best dudes to boot

If we don't make the tournament this year no way does he get on there. But a deep run and it could make a case.

I wouldn't care if Ben turns out to be better than Lew Alcindor, a one-and-done player would never crack my all-time top-5 list.

I will if he has a 32 rebound game. Rudy did that at under 6'7".

Any top 5 team without Rudy Macklin is inadequate.

Rudy is the leading rebounder and second leading scorer in LSU history.

More importantly Rudy is the St. Peter of LSU basketball. Dale Brown said , Thy art Rudy and upon your skills I will build this program, and build it Sale and Rudy did. It was truly a fantastic climb to the top.

It can be argued that without Rudy Dale may have been gone by 1977. Without Rudy there is likely no Chris Jackson, Shaquille Oneal, Howard Carter, Ricky Blanton, Dwayne Scales to name a few.

Rudy belongs in any top five list.

No way this group loses to any college team, any where. I mean, look at that talent. Plus, the advantage of playing 6 on 5 would make us unstoppable.
