I think that's expecting way too much. No offense to Johnny Jones but I'm not sure he's the caliber of coach to have us in the discussion for the final four/E8 almost every year and national title hunt every few years. I do think he could turn us into what Dale Brown had for a while where we made the tournament every year and maybe make a final four once in a blue moon. We just aren't a caliber of program like a UK/KU/Duke/UNC...


Honestly it is tough for any program to be final four type teams every year... there are over 300 D1 basketball teams rather than the 114 in football.

I think if he is constantly sending teams to the tournament and competing for the SEC title each year he is on that level.

You have to look at landscape of college basketball too

With one and dones, certain programs can live off that and be strong enough to recruit those guys year in/year out like UK, KU, UNC

LSU cannot thrive under the one and done scenario right now and may never be able to attract those players consistently. the good thing is that outside of UK no one else in the SEC can do it either
