re: How far has LSU Basketball fallen?

Yes, yes you are.

Obviously we've only been to the postseason twice since the Final Four run, but you can't say that there aren't signs of improvement coming.

To the OP:
Trent Johnson happened. Specifically, he totally failed to recruit the players needed to compete at a decent level, much less what LSU was accustomed to.

Perhaps he was at the wrong place; he came from Stanford. LSU isn't Stanford, and you won't go after the same type of player. That might have worked at Vanderbilt, but not here.

In any rate, Johnny Jones seems to know what type of player would come to LSU, and thus he's signed a top class. We should return to the level Brown had us at (and really, Brady too- take away the sanctions and we're in the postseason a lot with him too).

3401 posts, but U R "clueless" about basketball. Dude I've line in La 4 years since 1989, but I have a clue.

In reality, LSU has never established any sustained basketball dominance. Sure, we've had some runs with great talent and even some 'cinderalla' momemts but definitely no dominance. I think we're just where we've always been. Don't worry, in the near future, things will get better for a year or two. We'll all have fun with basketball - again for a bit.
