likely improve the recruiting at LSU.


This is an understatement...

And...
quote:

His teams have won 39 games over those two years (the most by any LSU coach in their first two years as head coach in the Southeastern Conference era) and the Tigers appearance last year in post-season made him only the second LSU head coach in SEC history to take the Tigers to a tournament in the first two years.


Yea this isn't the year we all thought we would have. And Jones definenty deserves a lot of the criticism that he's getting. Butt, the 2 things that is killing us in games are stupid mental mistakes that turn into turnovers and missing FTs. And we're still 16-6 right now. If I was told before the season started that we would be 16-6 at this point, I would be happy with it. The catch is that most of the games we lost were to teams we should have beaten.

And yet that "historic" run has resulted in an 8th and T-6th place finish in what has been one of the weakest periods in SEC basketball history and zero NCAAT appearances. But hey, we made the NIT last year!! (So did Trent Johnson in his final year)

Exactly, and that's signs of a bad coach.
