The 5* center was considered a heavy LSU lean after he decommitted from A&M. Now Western Kentucky has hired Shammond Williams as an assistant coach.

Think Ben Simmons.


Shammond is Mitchell Robinson's godfather.

I'm not saying it's impossible but atleast Simmons went to a shitty SEC school. He got plenty of exposure at LSU (not all of it was good), but Robinson would get none at WKU.

He's going somewhere other than LSU so why not WKU

Didn't realize Stansbury is the head coach at WKU too

Stansbury was at A&M before he took the WKU job. Factor that with Williams hire and it may happen.

Western Ky has been finalist in ncaa and nit. They love the game like LSU fans do football. Better crowd and appreciation than lsu. They have a generation of O & g money too.

No, not a lot, but what I do know is they play in a shitty conference and they don't have a nationally known program.

Say what???

Are you confusing them with Texas Western from the '60s and "Glory Road"? (Filmed in BR, by the way)

Just because their fans love basketball doesn't mean he will get national exposure. making the NCAA finals 50 years ago does not mean you have a good program.

No, it's likely not going to be a concern. It wasn't a big deal when Williams was at Tulane for the last three years, I don't understand why it's suddenly a big deal now that he's at WKU. Mitch's mom wants him in state, Mitch will stay in state.

Can thank our grade A idiot of a coach Johnny Jones for this one.

Thank him for what? Nothing's fricking happened other then Western Kentucky hiring a guy who wasn't a big enough deal to make Mitch interested in Tulane. And don't bring up any basketball recruiting "expert" either. Those dudes are some of the biggest marks in the world and know less than nothing.
