Jackson only played two years.

While this is true, how many other 2 time first team All Americans has LSU had? He was the best point guard LSU has had with the except of Pistol Pete.

The others played three.


To be fair, only Shaq left early of the other 3. Both Petit and Maravich played freshman Basketball for LSU but were prohibited from varsity competition by NCAA rules.

Pettit, Maravich, Shaq, Jackson are hard to argue against. Simmons may end up being thought of that way but probably not if he exits after 1 year with no playoff run to his name.

How is that a knock? Petit and Pistol had to play all 4 years, if the rules were different back then, neither would have been at LSU all 4 years.
