to the downvoters, do you even understand what occurred. Ben Simmons had zero love or affection for LSU. He came here ONLY because his godfather was on the coaching staff. If David Patrick was at Florida, Ben would've been a Gator. If David Patrick was at Texas, Ben would've been a Longhorn.

It's just impossible to deny this fact.

Who fricking cares?

Players go to different schools for different reasons. Tremont Waters had never set foot in the state of Louisiana until he signed with LSU. He was going to Georgetown until Thompson was fired and Wade, who had recruited him, contacted him about coming to LSU.

How much love and affection do you think players have before they go to college? 99% of these kids didn’t grow up fans. They all went where they went for one reason or another. I don’t know why you think it’s relevant that Simmons chose LSU for the reason he did. People are down voting you because it’s not a good point, not because what you said was inaccurate

You think Kentucky players go there because of their love and affection for Kentucky? Or do you think there’s another reason?

No one is denying it, but it doesn't change the fact that Ben Simmons obviously feels a connection to LSU more than any other college. That was my point.
