10 Teams to Make Leap in '13

quote:

6. LSU: The Tigers have been to the NCAA tournament just once since 2006, but could make an appearance in 2014 thanks to the return of several key players and a huge addition down low. LSU brings back leading scorer and rebounder Johnny O'Bryant (13.6 points, 8.7 boards) along with standout guard Anthony Hickey, who ranked second in the country in steals (2.9) while chipping in a team-high 3.8 assists and 11.2 points. The Tigers also add a standout forward in Jarrell Martin, the No. 11-ranked player in the class of 2013. Johnny Jones’ squad took a hit when high-profile recruit Jordan Mickey was declared ineligible, but there are still enough parts here to make the upcoming campaign a successful one. LSU went 19-12 last season and won nine of its final 14 games.


Finally basketball is getting some love

They've been getting about as much love as a 19 win team can during off season. Not surprised.

I don't think Johnny Jones will ever be considered an elite x/o coach but the name of the game right now in college hoops is recruiting and he's getting interest back into the PMAC with higher caliber players. The key will be similar to Dale, surround yourself with quality assistants and motivate the team which I think he will do well.

Hope so, anyone know when the appeal process is supposed to take place?

It is time to bully the new paper tiger NCAA if they try to punish a decent kid for the idiocy of his prep school.
