We will be an absobute train wreck next year. Will be very painful. Hell even if Blakeney comes back what is our starting lineup looking like?
Blakeney
Sampson/Patterson/Mays
Victor/Sims
Epps/Bridgewater
Malone/Robinson
or do we go with 3 guards?

Guess Keith Hornsby wasn't. I do agree with you though but we kinda did last year for half the season
He was, but he was removed from the floor too often in the season for defensive reasons. His character far made up for his defensive limitations, and the wheels completely fell off after he reinjured himself.

My guess, unless Simms is game ready to play at SF in which one of the 3 guards you mentioned would get bumped.

Money isn't everything, Villanova plays in a 6500 seat on campus arena that was built in 1986.
Money isn't the question. History and reputation. Villanova has the reputation of being a basketball school because it has the history to back it up.
LSU doesn't. When you don't have history you need to create a new future. You need to demonstrate a willingness to do what it takes to win.

This is such a myth and needs to stop being reported on this site and especially by the national media because it is lazy journalism.
You just reinforced my point for me when you mentioned "the national media". If you read and listen, they are not saying kind things about LSU right now.
Coaches see that. So do recruits. We need to be in the news for a different reason.

Your right the media right now is not saying good things about LSU but as we get further away from the season and closer to the draft the name Ben Simmons will come up a lot and show him wearing a LSU jersey. He will still be drafted 1 or 2 and it will again show that coming to LSU did not hurt Ben Simmons in any way.

I haven't been to all of the SEC venues, but imho only Memorial (Vandy), Stegeman (UGA) and Coleman (Bama) are in the conversation for worse arenas.
You're forgetting Miss. St.'s Humphrey Coliseum, but I get your point. There's really only three top flight on campus arenas in the SEC...at UT, Arky and Mizzou.
UK doesn't own Rupp, it's not on campus, and it's as out-dated as the PMAC. USCe's is nice, but it isn't on campus. UF is going the same direction as Auburn and Ole Miss did...smaller.
TAMU's Reed is -slightly- better. Coleman is -slightly- worse.
But that isn't the point. To do nothing is to get more of the same. Renovating the PMAC would just be putting lipstick on a pig.
Nothing short of a new facility would put LSU on the map for top flight coaches, and on the radar for top flight recruits.
Especially after how the whole Ben Simmons fiasco went down in the press.

If only we could say the same thing about LSU.

The Hump and Reed are both plain, basic gyms, nothing outstanding, but they are both alot more spacious than the PMAC. I'm an average sized dude, and my knees are well into the seat back in front of me at home games. Those both get the clear edge in my book.
I'd also put OM's new place in the group of top flight on campus arenas. I know it's smaller than most, but it is more than enough for a university and town that size.
After seeing what UCLA did with Pauley, I think a renovation project could work at the PMAC but we would have to make a lot of tradeoffs. The only way to make it fool proof is to square off 500' x 500' near the new Box and do it right from scratch.

So much renovation would be needed IMO that razing it to the ground and building a new facility makes more sense.
As we all know, the PMAC features a walk-in basement below the court and the concourses that used to serve as both the practice facility and locker rooms for men's and women's basketball.
When the basketball practice facility was built, it wasn't needed for either. Now it's used by the volleyball team.
If you didn't need the walk-in basement, you wouldn't need the ramps. You could build out as well as up. You would have about the same amount of space as that used by the Smoothie King arena in NOLA.

So what about the 5 star recruits who go to big time schools and dont get drafted?

I don't give a rat's arse about them. I'm only concerned with LSU.

What LSU needs to do is shut down the basketball program. It does nothing but embarass the university

You've lost it. And that's being kind by assuming you ever had "it" to begin with.
When a five star prospect signs with LSU it's a big deal. At places like Kansas, UNC, or UK, it's SSDD.
What can LSU do to get near that happy circumstance? We can't match their tradition or history. We can't even match the passion of their fan bases.
So LSU needs to match or beat them in other areas. Like facilities. We aren't doing that right now.

It's the second most profitable sport at LSU, mainly due to the TV contract. Right now, being profitable is the only thing we can hang our hat on.

Past history would still indicate that 5* players can be successful at non-traditional power schools. Take a look at guys like Michael Beasley, OJ Mayo, DeAndre Jordan, etc. They have all at least got to the tournament in their respective schools. This has always been more of a Jones problem than a LSU problem.
