Ben Simmons was a great basketball player but he had no impact of the LSU basketball program.

Simmons said in an interview that LSU was a waste of his time. LSU didn't even make NCAA Tournament with him on the team. In fact, the team quit and didn't even go to the NIT. So, why is he relevant to us? Why is he even being discussed?

Simmons crashed the program. J Jones was a bad coach at LSU. But Simmons took the heart out of the program.

I really don't know how Johnie Jones survived having the #1 draft pick and not making the NCAA tournament and having his star decide he would sit out the NIT (causing LSU to preemptively turn down a potential invite.)

That kind of anti-competitiveness should not have been retained.
