IMHO Chris Jackson should be included in your list

Randy was more important to his team but chris was a savant with a basketball.

Larry Bird praised him greatly before his injury.

Shaq is not a top-5 LSU great and prolly not top-10.

Livingston would have been top-5 easily if he stayed healthy.

He was unreal. He was in my sister's graduating class at Newman, I saw most of his games. He was a coach on the court with freakish athletic abilities. A true 6'3" point guard with ridiculous hops. Without the injury suffered at the Magic Johnson camp he would have been one of the three best guards ever in LSU history.

he was a great passer.he made his team better.he had guys that couldnt play basketball on his team avg.15 a game in high school.it was painful to me when he hurt the knee.just imagine a 5 star recruit getting ready for lsu only to have a acl right before school starts.i mean a high 5 star.
