The Angel Reece/CC thing had me thinking about this. We, Like most programs, have some former athletes that have gone on to be pretty unlikable. My list is:

Ryan Clark-constantly stirring up racial stuff, and often trashes LSU or their coaches.
Angel Reece-loved her first year here, but since then it has been downhill. She seems to always have a chip on her shoulder or is complaining about pay.
Billy Cannon-I personally like Cannon, but learned that he was quite disliked in the 80’s after his son went to A&M, and he went to prison for fraudulent activity. I think he redeemed himself with most before is passing.

He was an accomplice with counterfeiters printing $100 bills.

The feds dug up plastic bags in his backyard which contained several hundred thousand dollars in counterfeit Benjamins...

EDIT: But in my mind Dr. Cannon (he was a practicing dentist) fully redeemed himself when the warden at Angola Penitentiary asked Cannon to become the prison's dentist. At that time no dentist would agree to be the dentist there because the stipend (pay) was next to nothing plus they were terrified to work inside the prison walls. Many of the inmates had severe dental issues and suffering from pain. Of course, pain killer drugs were not allowed anywhere on the prison grounds. So prisoners were left to suffer.

Cannon agreed to work there 4 days a week and when he started the first thing he told the prison population was that he would help them with their pain (Cannon was allowed to keep pain drugs under lock and key and report their usage regularly) but the first time any one of them gave him a problem, he was gone.

According to my dentist, who assisted Cannon part-time at Angola after he sold his practice, the prisoners formed an agreement that anyone who did something to cause Cannon to quit would be subjected to prison justice. There were never any problems. Cannon worked there for years before he retired.

Your list is three people long and 1 is Billy Cannon. You really don’t have a list. You have two people who suck. And one played women’s basketball. So who cares?

Yes. Ryan Clark sucks.

I almost added Simmons. There’s not a lot of specific reasons to dislike. He just never seemed to want to be here and has no relationship with LSU.

that was more disgruntled fans than Cannon being an arse

once he was busted he was contrite, came clean, didn't ask for any leniency and did his time for the crime, I have no problem with him or his legacy, my $.02

You beat me to it! Carville embarrasses LSU more than any former LSU grad. I can't stand to see him wearing LSU garb when he spouts off with all his nasty pontifications. About as low class as a person can be. Likewise, I wish he would stop embarrassing my beloved USMC.

Clark is just below him IMHO.

Simmons doesn't want to be anywhere near a basketball court

He just wants to get paid and play famous

Eli Ricks is a great answer. BTJ blocking him into the sideline on Jayden’s TD will never get old. What a glorious night that was.
