Honestly, 2 of the guys brought in by Jones were coming to LSU if Trent was still here.

And who was kicked off the team for drugs?

3 of our guys were seniors, Hamilton is obviously not who you're referring to, Turner upgraded programs (surprisingly, considering his limited ability), and I thought Isaac was academics.

Like I said a few months back, I know people like Johnny Jones for now. I don't like the hire, but I will not hold it against Jones when this team goes 12-20 next season. I hope no one else does, either.

Trent left this program in a bad way. I gave him all the slack in the world, but he sucked!

I didn't really like it at the time. Especially with the other names being thrown around at the time. However, with what CJJ had done so far, I'm warming up to him. I want to see what he does with this undersized team this season and what kind of class he can bring in next year. So far though, it's hard to complain about him.

Pretty sure that's right. Didn't he end up at BRCC or something?

I'm assuming the drugs reference was a bad Tyrann joke.

He was hired late in the game so to speak and the momentum he built early has kind of fizzled out a little (Issac and Turner gone, Odah and Godfrey not making it to campus). Nonetheless, I hope LSU fans will give him some time to get this thing going in the right direction. Even if they struggle this season, should he be able to lock up some of the bigtime Louisiana (specifically BR) talent, then he has a chance to get LSU basketball turned around pretty quickly.
