Neither UCLA or Oklahoma made the tournament either. Morgan is garbage and there is no doubt in my mind that TMG would have never signed with LSU, regardless if Brady was here or not. He committed very early and blew up later on and had offers coming out of the woodwork. With the way LSU tanked Brady's last two years, TMG would have been a gone pecan.

What UCLA or OU did is irrelevant. They did not go 2-14 either.

Morgan may have developed bettr in a different syste. You can speculate whether Griffin would have signed, but he was committed when Brady left. So was Brandon Mitchell who later signed with ARkansas football. Delwan Graham was also signed before Brady left and is now gone.

Brady can't be responsible for what happened with those four playes who were either signed by or committed to LSU when he was terminated. Had Brady been retained he and Butch had other recruits that would have been signed. Trent Johnson had other options he chose not to take. Time will tell whether this was right for the long haul, but it is well past time to stop blaming Brady for whatever shortfalls there are in the program. Likewise he does not get credit for the success of 2009 other than for recruiting all but one of the players.

It's real easy for you to assume all of the best case scenarios regarding Brady would have played out.

Considering his feast or famine track record, more famine than feast, it is way more likely that the worst case scenarios would have played out.

Brandon Mitchell? Really? You're trying to give Brady some credit for recruiting a guy that is not even playing college basketball?

Morgan? Really? You want to bash Trent Johnson for his recruits lack of production, but you want to look into your crystal ball and predict that maybe the biggest bust in college basketball recruiting over the past 5 years would have somehow been a solid player had he been under Brady's tutelage?

Your complete lack of basketball knowledge outside of the Brady regime is astounding. I have given Brady many props for taking over the situation he did and giving LSU some success. I have never seen you chastise him one iota for the failures that he had.

I have to agree with this.

I think it's actually funny that Miles gets no credit because "he won a championship with Saban's players", but Trent was able to take credit when he "won the SEC with Brady's players", but then a year later people blame Brady for Trent's down year. It really is a rantard double standard to the n't degree.

Why isn't the master recruiter, not at LSU? I mean with all of that talent he recruited here and his knowledge of the game with breaking the press and attacking zone offenses, you would think even after the Draconian Sanctions, that the Super recruiter would have never posted a losing season at LSU.

If someone didn't know LSU's history, they would see these players and assume that we were perrenial tourney participants.
