I think He wanted to be here till he realized it was a clown show and he wasn’t going to get any coaching to improve him as a player and his team mates were going to expect him to win every game on his own.


He is very vocal on the topic, and he complains about EVERYTHING except literally that.

You might “feel” that was the main cause. But there are repeated interviews of him:

Pissed at the NCAA for making him go to college at all.

Pissed he spent a year not learning anything academically.

Pissed he spent a year not learning anything financially.

Pissed he spent a year not developing as a person.

Annoyed that he constantly had to deal with temptation of people trying to bribe him.

Everything.

You won’t find a single thing he ever said positively about LSU after his draft. Period.


And people want to call him in the same group as Shaq, OBJ, LF, PP, etc etc who have been proud ambassadors?

You will NEVER get him to set foot on this campus ever again, for any reason.

I don’t know why some fans are so hung up on him.

I wish him no ill. Props for his success.

But he’s not a Tiger. We were just a rubber stamp for him to get to his real goals.

For the billionth time, it is about how an icon (to these hs stars) can make LSU an attractive place to play college ball. The won't know or care about his problems here, they will just know that their MOTHERBLANKING IDOL played for LSU. His POSITIVE EFFECT on LSU will last 10-15 yrs and beyond. You don't have to be stephen hawking to figure this bullspit out, DAMN!!!!!!!!

He was worshipped on and off campus every time I saw him. To say he “hated” LSU is ridiculous. Sure he hated the general studies classes, but to say he HATED his time at lsu is so ridiculous

That team had more than enough talent to win 23+ games with an apathetic, “care free” Ben Simmons. I was a big Johnny supporter leading up to that season but he ruined it with that season

I just don’t understand how people make such broad generalizations about Ben simmons’ thoughts on his time at lsu when all he did was shite on the NCAA and a passive jab at Johnny for squandering him (which he did)
