Will Ben Simmons get us our 1st national title?

slow your roll, son

let's try to make the fricking tourney first

One player cannot do it by himself - remember Kevin Durant couldn't do it

it depends on the rest of the team

Simmons will likely be 1 and done... which means we need to have a really strong team around him

Kentucky pulls in all worlds and can't do it yearly.

I'd sure hope so. But that's some wishful thinking. Let's make the tourney this year and see what happens from there

Guys, many "can't miss" prospects go down in flames but they are all NBA type physical specimens who need to improve their game.

Simmons game is ready. He's no Tyrus Thomas .
or Anthony Randolph cause people 'projected' that they could play the 3 in the NBA. They can't.

Simmons is ready.


Now this doesn't mean we win the championship, but we will have our best team since stanley, shaq, and CJ were here.

In fact we will have a better team than each of our final four teams except for 81 IMO.


coming out of the SEC our seeding should be high. I see it happening

We need other players besides him.

Like for instance Martin and/or Mickey sticking around.

I can't wait until the season starts. When LSU loses a few games in the SEC, the same posters who are posting that LSU has a team that rivals the ones that Shaq and company were on will be the ones calling for the firing of the head coach. Some people cannot accept that LSU isn't perfect. I remember the posts calling for the firing of the baseball coach when LSU didn't make it out of the regionals.

LSU has had some of the very best players in the history of college basketball. A few years ago, some national publication listed the top 50 players in the history of the NCAA. LSU had 3, Bob Petitt, Pistol Pete and Shaquille. I doubt Ben Simmons is better. He certainly will not be better than Pistol Pete. What did Pete avg...44 pts per game? There's a lot more to it than 1 player.

To be fair, it would be our first in the NCAA tournament era. One player doesn't make a championship team, though. Anything can happen in March Madness, but we have to make it there first. One step at a time.
