Ben, please take JJ with you. Now he can help you in the NBA. You need him!

Why is everyone down on Ben? The only real thing he did wrong was quit in the TexasA&M SEC Tournament game, sure he could've been more aggressive is some games but that's not his game we're not used to seeing overseas players. Shaq in his prime would not have made the tournament with this team and coaching staff. this kid will get to the NBA and do very well and he always will represent Louisiana State University as long as he is in an NBA lineup

Although I enjoyed the preseason hype... Glad he's gone now. Tired of hearing about him.

This is why the 1 year rule need to be done away with. What on "God's green earth"does one year in college does? Absolutely nothing but forces kids to waste a whole year in college. It's not his fault but the flawed system created to create more revenue for the ncaa.

The 1 year rule is the NBA's rule. Has nothing to do with the NCAA.

The 1 year rule has everything to do with the ncaa. The ncaa approached the nba about the rule change, and the nba powers to be agreed.

Probably getting LSU confused with Monteverde Academy. His time with us was so brief and upsetting. He just wants to leave it in the past without the lose of fans.Dont hold it against him he left with nothing to lose only to gain. Why stay one more year and risk coach JJ ruin you more than he already has.

""gold and purple???" What team is he referring to?" Who are the two idiots who downvoted this? It doesn't get under your skin that he referred to us as "gold and purple?" To me, it shows how very little he knows or cares about our university.

in reply to lsusportsman2, I'm fairly sure I'm neither a pussy nor a retard. I'm just a guy that understands Simmons didn't give one single frick about LSU. I think it's crystal clear. Really amazed that others can't admit that to themselves.

All the Simmons supporters in here need to realize this "classy post" followed him deleting everything LSU related off of his IG account. Yeah, the kid is all about the purple and gold.....

@tigers4lyfe Watched every game..........every one. went to every home game minus 3. been very attentive. attentive enough to know how absolutely shitty a portion of this fan base can be. the kid was railroaded by PG who was pissy that the attention wasnt on his supposed "breakout year" and was mired by a coach who if fricking clueless

Sorry I'll always have a bad taste in my mouth thinking of him and his one season. Also saying Gold and Purple tells he was about invested in LSU and much as going to a few easy classes out of respect to himself and University.

Doesn't know the difference between gold and yellow? No wonder he's a college dropout.
