Interesting question from Rabalais: After 2006 Final Four, what happened?
Posted on 4/12/12 at 6:51 pm

1) Didn't get Darrell Arthur or Scottie Reynolds to come to LSU
2) Didn't get DJ Augustin to come to LSU
3) Failed to convince Magnum Rolle that he in fact wasn't Kevin Durant
4) Dameon Mason was garbage in French terms
5) Tack Minor was a cancer to the team
6) Anthony Randoph was 1 and done
7) Glen Davis became selfish
8) Terry Martin actually regressed as a player over his time at LSU
I'm sure I can come up with more.

Did this really affect the team post-final 4?

This right here. I remember barely losing to UT early in the regular season and knew that we were a true point guard away from a big run (we had just beaten A&M in a top 10 match up)
Up until that point Baby played solid. After that game this happened

John Brady let his EGO cloud the fact he was not nearly as good as he thought, he left Cheryl, and kept his blond toy out in public.
Sort of a lesser version of Petrino

9) Ben Voogd transferring to Oregon
fixed it.

Didn't Brady get mad when LSU made the decision to present the NC trophy at the Mississippi St. game in 2008?

You can thank Rick Barnes for that. He pulled a slick move. Wish Brady would have done it. He'd a been a Tiger.

I actually had class and was friends with Rolle back then. The dude thought he easily was a starter/best player on the team. The last thing he told me was "See ya in the NBA" before he transferred out.
Yeah....

Yeah. Brady really missed out on his opportunity to cement himself as coach the year following the Final Four run.
If he could have signed DJ Augustin, and anyone else worth one damn that signing class, we could have easily contended for another Final Four.
One would believe that would have elevated the status of our basketball program. Instead, we missed out on the postseason all together.
He just didn't capitalize on the one opportunity he had to put LSU basketball on the map in an emphatic way. Add to that, after we went to the final four, he landed Anthony Randolph, and one and done recruit, and Marcus Thornton, a JUCO with two years of eligibility.
Hell, this is his commitment list from 2006, the year we went to the Final Four:
WTF?
In the following class, he landed Marcus Thornton and Anthony Randolph, but alas, Thornton only had 2 years of eligibility and Randolph was one and done.
After both of those players left, we were left with Tasmin for one year, Garrett Green, Alex Farrer, Bo Spencer, Storm Warren, Delwan Graham, and Dennis Harris.
That's not a competitive Sun Belt team, and I'm not remotely kidding.
All of this is why I never understood why everyone was so harsh on TJ. He literally had to build the program from scratch outside of the one year he had Garrett Temple, Marcus Thornton, and Tasmin Mitchell.
Added to that, Louisiana basketball recruiting had a large gap from Greg Monroe to Ricardo Gathers. Matt Derenbecker was the best recruit during TJ's tenure from Louisiana. Ricardo Gathers and Malik Morgan were the best players in the state for a three year stretch without question.
He's gone, and I certainly believe he made a mistake not going the JUCO route early in his tenure to fill in the enormous gap Brady recruiting created, but if you really kept everything in perspective, I believe next year would have told the story on the Trent Johnson tenure.
If he had landed Hammink, Coleman, and Morgan, along with some JUCO scrub to spell O'Bryant, we could have had a really solid team. We certainly should have expected to be an NCAA tournament team.
Oh well. Hopefully we upgrade with this hire, but all things considered, TJ left this program in pretty good shape relative to the shape of the program he inherited. We actually have underclass talent and a base a coach can easily build on and win quickly.
That was not the case when TJ inherited the program. We had the base of a junior college team.

Magnum Rolle obviously had an overinflated opinion of himself.
Forgot 8) Lost Greg Monroe to Georgetown.

Not signing Arthur/Reynolds really hurt. Apparently we didn't even have the floor down on the PMAC when they came to visit. How bush league is that?
