Opinion: Is Ben Simmons #LSU ?

Now that he's lighting up the NBA and (way too early) ROTY favorite, I see beat writers and local pundits tweeting #LSU when his statistics are reported. Can't lie, I was pumped up when he committed and obviously the season went to sh*t, but my opinion isn't due to the lack of team success. Ever since the documentary, coupled with his recent SLAM interview, it's clear he didn't want to be here. As a fan, I just don't feel the LSU connection with him. I can't envision him returning to campus, being honored for TAF donations, or even tweeting #GeauxTigers in support of an event. Hell, I have Antonio Blakeney higher on the LSU pedestal.
I'm curious to hear yall's viewpoint.

I’ll always root for him just because he went here, but i don’t really look at him as a “real” tiger. The fact that He could have gone to any college but came here was awesome. He won’t be an ambassador to our school like Shaq and will prob never rep us.

I could give a frick about Simmons because he could give a frick about LSU. That dude is all about himself.

Great athlete. Has a lot of basketball skills. Can go frick himself.
Posted on 11/9/17 at 6:46 pm to Geauxtexastyger
I forgot he played here.
Sums it up doesn't it?

The earth could open and swallow every NBA team and arena and I would not miss it. Hell, it could start by swallowing Simmons. The guy is a major douche and he may have gone to LSU, but he isn't a Tiger.

What did he do that was so horrible? He had a great freshman year on a shite program with a shite coach. LSU fans are the fricking worst about eating their own and he's a great example of it.

Ben Simmons never actually played at LSU

No TRUE TIGER to me. To be a TRUE TIGER you have to have LSU in your heart. He didn't.

The expectations on this board leading up to that season were glorious

I give zero fricks about Ben Simmons. He can turn into the next MJ and I'd give zero fricks about him from an LSU standpoint.
Andre Stringer > Tiger than Ben Simmons
NBA careers don't mean shite to me.

Ben Simmons LSU career was a disappointment for everyone. with the exception of Ben Simmons himself
Posted on 11/9/17 at 7:12 pm to Geauxtexastyger
I don't care about his career at All, and I do a lot for most former tigers, so that's my answer.

Ben is going to play a MAJOR ROLE (just like shaq does) in getting great players to continue to come here. Recruits will know Ben went to LSU, and that is priceless for recruiting. How people don't get this just amazes me!!!

Winning is the only reason people don't like him. Because LSU fan revere shitheads like TM7 & Ryan Perrlioux. Fans were inventing ways to try and keep these dudes on the team despite being criminals. Even at the time people took up for Jordan Jefferson when he was punting guys in the head.
But hey, they won, and they get a pass. Simmons was let down by a terrible coach but he wasnt the reason the team was bad. He just didnt give you any lasting memories as a team besides his All american play

Wish him all the best. Dude is not a tiger

I really do laugh at these threads and how everyone can decide if a player actually is a part of LSU or not.
Is Tyrann Mathieu #LSU? If Tyrann is #LSU then so is Rashard Robinson, right?
ETA: Tyrus Thomas, not #LSU?
