Very serious. I know it to be true. He didn't want the one and done type players. Look around... That's never been his style. He was brought in bc he is a highly ethical guy and lsu wanted a cleanly run program. Tj was too clean for the sec and south as far as recruiting goes. Not saying everyone else breaks the rules but Tj wouldnt operate in the grey area either. It cost us recruits. I admire him for it and wish recruiting wasn't so dirty.

LSU Hoops required a Dale Brown/PT Barnum yeoman's effort to sell the LSU fanbase to fill the PMAC. It took his covering the state in P&G nets and balls, recruiting globally, and six-plus years to build it up into a winner.
Bruce Pearl re-ignited the Vols fanbase, had Thompson-Boling filled for men's games, for practically the first time since Don Devoe, or the Ernie & Bernie Show eras.
Some schools need "right fits" besides just being a solid HC that can win and/or recruit a bit.
The LSU fanbase hasn't come close to fully embracing an LSU Mens Basketball HC since Brown, whom despite some detractors, was wildly popular.
Hiring a stoic west-coaster that spoke in a monotone baritone glum manner, that can't recruit locally, let alone well nationally, wasn't a "right fit", despite his high intelligence, solid X&O abilities, super high character values. Despite his delivering an outright SEC crown in a season that I consider probably the best LSU Mens Hoops coaching job of the last 20 yrs(despite objections by some here that anyone could've won with that team)..
Right Fit/Good Fit, yes it is an accurate term/phrase, and does apply to HCs, Schools, Leagues, Ath Depts, Budgets, Academia, Recruiting Grounds, Regions,etc..can be based upon a multitude and myriad of factors.
Life and sophistications are played out in shades of grey..the 10 Commandments are black and white.
