"They (Simmons and Blakeney) talk to me a lot about it (coming to LSU) ," said Newman. "I think right now the biggest thing they are telling me is they are missing a point guard."

When asked to elaborate on what exactly the duo is saying to him, Newman had this reply.

"Come in and they’d give me the keys. I can run the show. Let me do my thing. And we all get in and out."
