However, the only player, of the four, to date that jones as maybe secured that trent may not have, is the power forward.



So why when TJ was coach did Coleman take lots of visits and talk up other schools yet within a couple weeks of Jones getting hired he signs on the line? Why did Geert come out and say that because of Jones hire he would push Shane to LSU even more? Then what do you know he signs within a couple weeks. These guys had all year to commit with Trent here but somehow its just coincidence that we get a guy with some personality and they start rolling in. Also that PF was a position of tremendous need because Trent had no depth and nobody on the radar.

thank you for making the point. admission he was going to lsu, probably regardless the coach.

secondly, coleman wanted to come to lsu and waiting for the next coach to be hired to see if he fit in the plans.

I'm not on here pumping trent and bashing jones. I'm excited with the hires he's made. He's done a good job in the short time he's been here. i'm happy about that.

to say he's rebuilt the team in three weeks and he got all these players on his and with trent previously recruiting them is absurd.

let's be a little realistic here. the team, without hamilton and warren, isn't as good as last years team. If you think we are winning 20 next year, you'll be here bashing jones, then.

Probably had at least a little bit to do with the Spring Signing Period not beginning until after Johnson left, but that's just a guess.
