re: Blakeney, "Leadership is a problem"

This is why college basketball is becoming less relevant by the day. Save March Madness and does anyone really care that much anymore (and I am talking about the average fan -- not so much any of us on TD who bothers to complain about basketball). These AAU travelling teams are the beginning that paves the way to millions and a major shortcut. Ben Simmons never played a home fricking game in high school basketball!? That type of team...I do not get it. Of course, Simmons is not going to go to class for 2 semesters. He used LSU and visa versa for a rental. We thought we could land in the tourney with him; he needed a place to play.

I guess LSU should just be glad with getting him for a year. Talent like that usually doesn't get past the Atlantic Coast if it comes from way out.

This was a young team but that should be over by now. Now, with this amount of talent, CJJ must finally be held accountable. We've had some good moments with him and some very disparaging ones as well. It's obvious he's not going to take us to the next level. Likely time to part ways...especially if we get blown out in Nashville. If he can get to the SEC c'ship game, who knows?
