Let's just 3D print about 200 of the greatest to come through LSU, sounds like a fun project for whatever lab class does such things. They can put them all over campus.

He does have a National championship in two sports.
How many other athletes that came through can say that?

Jones was good but not great. We’ve had a lot better.

Chad Jones, Dale Brown & Sue Gunter court

Edit: Name the field after him. They only have to do it for one year. Just like Dale Brown court. They can always add names after a year.

Only certain kinds of statues.

But I’ve got the statue idea that can’t offend anyone. How about a statue for Frank Wickes and/or Linda Moorehouse?

He probably has a plaque like every very-good-but-not-legendary player since 1910, and it should stay that way. It looks like the “everyone gets a trophy” generation is in full swing between this and the court naming BS

Chad Jones was a big play guy. While he had big moments in both sports, he was not great at either sport, granted there wasn't enough playing time to determine it in baseball.

We set the bar extremely high for statues and retired jerseys. Everyone of them is an all time great and multiple time all american. Chad Jones was not all sec in ether sport.
