It's fun or easy to play any game when little or nothing is expected of you and playing .500 ball in a bad conference gets you praise. I'm not saying this team doesn't deserve some praise, but adding The Man to JJ at this time is not something I'm willing to do.

The JJ hire was understandable given the sorry shape of the program and the fact no big name coach was going to want to step into the mess left behind by the last two coaches unless LSU was willing to open their wallet like never before to hire a basketball coach and they weren't.

I liked the JJ hire given what was going on and I'm pleased to see the teams play, but I'm going to wait a couple years to describe him as The Man.

Playing .500 ball, with a patchwork lineup and no center, most certainly deserves praise. That continued with a team that plays an exciting, never-give-up style of basketball compared to last years team who laid down and died by 15+ like half a dozen times per year, deserves praise. Bringing in a recruiting classthat features our highest rated recruit of this decade and that even has analyst and announcers saying that LSU is on its way, deserves some got damn praise.

Oh and not getting beat (often at home) by such as perenial college basketball powerhouses like Coastal Carolina, South Alabama, North Texas, Nicholls State, Wichita State or barely squeeking by other powerhouses like Houston....deserves praise.
