nice to see LSU mentioned in the same breadth as programs like Georgetown, Syracuse, Ohio State, UF, MSU, and Illinois

quote:

Johnny Jones only has one commitment so far for 2015, but it's a pledge the Tigers absolutely needed to land. Ben Simmons, in my opinion the best player in the country, announced he was heading to LSU last fall – with the Tigers beating out the likes of Duke, Kansas, Kentucky and every other big-time program in the country for his services. Simmons has always had the potential to be a highly-rated player, but he's improved and expanded his game over the last few months and can make a very strong case for being No. 1 in the country. Jones won't simply rest on his laurels, though. Brandon Sampson has emerged as one of the best scorers in the country, and he's a top target. Chad Lott and Alex Owens are other options.

This is good. Hopefully he doesn't change his mind. Dale used to get big recruits so this is a good sign.

It is interesting to see LSU mixed in, but with only 1 recruit landed Jones still has a lot more work to do

I don't feel like I'm reaching too far when I say that Jones could have the program to powerhouse levels before 2020
