re: Easier program turnaround, LSU or NcNeese St.

For a charismatic coach, it is McNeese hands down. For parlaying the turnaround into increasing future success and sustaining competitiveness at the highest level, LSU.

It's a function of their respective conferences. A few really good recruits, guys who would start at a mid and get minutes at a top-level program will dominate in the Southland and probably get you in the tournament most years by winning the conference tourney.
