He has a very good future ahead of him at LSU. We finally found a coach, all we need is "another Shaq" type players.

I just wanted to see this team be competitive and look like they run something resembling an offense, so far so good. I think Johnny will have us where we need to be shortly if he can continue to recruit the way he has.

it looks like he's going to be good enough to get LSU about where it should be. i wouldn't expect amazing teams but i don't think we'll have those 2-3 years of shite either. that's all we can hope for

In the shite years at least they'll be entertaining, can't say that about Trent's teams. They sucked and were dull as frick

Trent would have lost by 25 in Rupp. A Johnny Jones coached team had heart.

It sucks that LSU is 1-5. They're better than that.

Screw that. We need quality players for sure, but no more douches.

This. LSU is not going to be a powerhouse basketball school. If he can get them where they get to the NCAA every other year and are a legit dark horse once every 4-6 years, he's done his job.

I think Johnny Jones will build the program to be competitive in the SEC every year with the expectation to be in the field of 64 every year as well.

I hate seeing this team lose but frock these guys don't quit. The talent is lacking but patience is key. It pains my bones to have to wait 2 or 3 more years but it takes time to build what Trent Johnson did not do . Great effort by the players. These players should not look at the loss column. This program will be back soon .

Competitive, yes. A legit argument every year to win the SEC with UF and UK still there, no.

He'll get the players here. Before today I was a bit discouraged by our play, but I was damn proud today. Now let's get that kind of effort against the teams we're supposed to beat. And by that I don't just mean physical exertion effort, I mean playing smarter and more efficiently. Geaux Tigers!!
