This Simmons debacle is bad for recruiting and JJ is to blame

This article is basically about how Simmons and other freshmen studs will most likely not reach the ncaa tournament.

This is the statement that caught my eye
"Hey superstar recruit, I know you want to forge your own path at a school you grew up loving, but the reality is you’ve got to come to Kentucky/Kansas/Perennial Top 10 team if you want a shot at the Title. "

In all honesty it's on JJ and the coaching staff. Coaching has been horrendous.

Well, here we go.

Victor not even eligible yet.

Three freshmen start, who never rebounded in HS and played little defense

Give it time before you fire the coach.

What is our philosophy on offense?

Just get dunks in transition and in half-court sets hope Hornsby is on from 26 feet out?

Garbage.

Eeyore will always be walking under that black rain cloud. Good grief. Let the fricking season play out.

It's hard to argue and won't be surprising if this sets the program back another decade.

Most guys worth a damn aren't going to stay more than one year so it doesn't matter to the guy that just wants an NBA paycheck. If you want a title in that one year window, yes, you have only a few schools that have a good shot at getting you there.

Lsu looks more like AAU team playing basketball then a college team playing basketball
