Coleman has visits sit up for Memphis and Nebraska very soon. He might want to stay close to home but a recruiter like Pastner can easily beat out coach TBD at LSU.

Has anything come out on Hammink minus the guy who knows the brothers posting? Believe he hinted at recruiting picking up, he is someone I really want us to get.

Yes. I did. For you to act like it's impossible is idiotic. We weren't as bad as you make us out to be last year. I honestly believe going smaller would have helped this team. We were over-matched this year versus teams who had a hybrid power forward defensively.
Losing Hamilton hurts, but the day is dead for teams not named UK, UCLA, Duke, etc. for having two quality big men. Having a hybrid 3 is the way college basketball is moving. Coleman fits that bill perfectly.
Missouri this year is a perfect example of not having to have two true big-men to have success. They won 30 games.
Like I said, neither you nor I know whether or not we would have improved next year. We may have flopped. I don't know, but it's possible we would have been much improved next year.

Playing that style successfully hinges on having good guard play. For our guards we have Hickey, one midget, one guy who plays hard half the time, Morgan who's an unknown, and maybe Hammink who is also an unknown and almost certainly will need some extra time to adjust to the level/style of play.

You are never gonna convince the TJ lovers who was the wrong coach for us nor the Brady lovers for that matter
This is about LSU! WE need a coach who will commit to the program and work hard.
Brady had his flaws but I never accused him of not coaching or working hard
TJ- I never accused him of working hard- in retrospect I wonder why he even came here. He never seemed to be comfortable here

Not signing Arthur/Reynolds really hurt. Apparently we didn't even have the floor down on the PMAC when they came to visit. How bush league is that?

I wonder how Katrina played into this. It's obviously a big reason we weren't able to get Augustin, and its effect on so many HS basketball programs and players would go a long way to explaining the total dearth of instate talent in the 2006-8 recruiting classes.

10. Baton Rouge stopped producing players like Bass/Davis/Temple/Thomas/Thornton

That's certainly debatable. Yes the team was solid in year one, but after it was shite

Hired a guy who treated recruiting like cleaning out the shed.

First of all Brady was married when we went to the Final Four. Katrina killed us with DJ, Tac Minor was a Cancer, Chris Johnson go hurt and missed most of the season, Taz missed the whole season, Nikita Johnson convinced Magnum to transfer to La. Tech that was a genuis move he tried to get back in LSU a week after he transferred. Losing Greg Monroe hurt and reallistically we had no shot at him once NIKE got involved. JB gets fired and we hire TJ he does not sign one legit player for two years, not to mention he was a terrible Basketball coach and a terrible fit for this job. He didn't even want to be here the last two years. Thank God for TCU.
Johnny Jones gets hired and the first thing he does is hits the recruiting trail, imagine that. TJ gets hired and signs no one after Knowing most of his players would graduate. TJ, Curley and Smoke the worst hires in the history of LSU sports.

TJ left a mess here, with an already shallow roster the man had 5 schollise to give out this year and had ONE signee to show for it. That is beyond pathetic. I have 0 respect for that pussy and the mess he cut bait and left behind. Trent Johnson can get fricked

Yeah pretty much. Johnson fricked us. Badly.

Johnny O'Bryant is far and away the best player on our team. Johnny is a likely lottery pick. Justin may not even get drafted. I like Justin a lot but he was not the best player on our team. Johnny's injury killed our season. he missed 5 games and all the momentum he had went out the window for 3 weeks.
We still have a very good shot at getting Hammink. he is a 6-5 point guard who is still growing and he can play the off guard. He is way more skiled than almost any of the point guards in the sec right now. he has great floor vision and is a true point guard. Geert knows Johnny and his loyalty is to LSU not to trent.

LSU would of had J'Mison Morgan if Johnson didn't let him out of it.

The whole thing is obviously all Perrilloux's fault

Only morons, and there are plenty here and on this thread, are anti-Brady.
All you hot shots without a thread of understanding, never could quite comprehend the mammoth sink hole this guy inherited after Lester Earlgate, et al. Of course, you are the same morons that told us that J Russell was the next great player in the NFL, and Matt Flynn was never going to be better. Of course, you guys have been eating crow for what now - a fricking year.
Rather than appreciate what he did for the program, many of you attacked him for really stupid reasons. Those same morons told us how "wonderful" Trent Johnson was going to recruit and coach. Wow, some of you pansies gushed, when his first team (with Brady's players that had finally matured somewhat)went further than anyone had expected.
Leave the man alone - he worked hard for your beloved team - despite the misplaced absurdly versed hatred directed at him.
John Brady and Pat Henry - two decent human beings and fine coaches - both treated poorly by LSU and many of it's fan base.
