Football is king at LSU, period. Baseball sells out every home game. Other than Kentucky, no school puts a priority on roundball. This isnt 1990 at LSU anymore.

you must be young..., I remember when both would "sell out". There is no need to have one in the starvation mode.

An iffy hire imo. Hope it works out but when Brown and Jones were successful it was a long time ago. If this hire is based on recruiting ability, none of these players even recall the golden days that would excite them to sign. For sure get Randy Liv. To help.

Given the current state of basketball did anyone really believe that we would be able to attract a top tier coach?

Who wants to come to a school where BB is playing third fiddle behind FB and Baseball?

After Alleva turned his back on Jones and the Alumni last go round did anyone think he was going to able to do it again? He brought in Johnson and we all know how that turned out.

What LSU needs is someone who can sell LSU to the top in state talent and keep them home. I can't think of anyone who would do a better job of that than Jones who absolutely loves LSU.

I'm not a fan of Collis Temple and the good ole boy network. But the last really talented team we had was Big Baby and that group of local AAU guys that came here together and Temple was involved in getting them here.
