The way these thread have been going, you'd think he doesn't even exist.

Saw him play 3 times last year...a young Tim Duncan!

I like how people listed a bunch of players who were not ranked as highly

Swift was pretty high as well.

swift was 5 i think. Taz was 8, no others were top 10. Randolph, Bass, Martin and Big Baby were top 20 recruits, but Simmons may be top 4 when its all said and done

Probably the biggest since Randy Livingston.

No, but JJ has cemented himself as one of the best recruiters in recent MBB history at LSU

I think they're responding to the Randolph post saying that Bass, Baby, etc were just as highly ranked. Simmons is clearly on a different level, I was wondering myself if we had gotten a top 10 consensus player between Shaq and Simmons.
eta: forgot about Livingston

Rankings change and vary depending on what site you look at, Taz was the #1 player in his class for years. Would he have been our biggest recruit ever if he would've committed his freshman or sophomore season like Simmons? I don't know where Simmons is going to end up rankings wise. Glen was top ten at one time and finished up around 10-15.

He was also named to the Parade All-American team and was the consensus No. 2 recruit in the nation.

Taz was 8
20th

Randolph, Bass, Martin and Big Baby were top 20 recruits
Bass = 11th
Davis = 13th
Randolph = 12th
Jarell Martin = 13th
Other big time recruits:
Regis Koundjia = 22nd
Magnum Rolle = 18th
And they have Simmons as the 6th best player

Since Stromile...and that's saying something. He turned out ok. 
Posted on 10/14/13 at 4:57 pm to ProjectP2294
Simmons is definitely the highest rated since Swift, and I don't think people should be any less excited.
That said, it's not completely unheard of for LSU to get a top 30 player. We're a top 20 school for number of current NBA players.
