Opinion...is Mondo the greatest LSU athlete, ever?

47

Yes imo. Broken the world record twice in 2 weeks at 20 years old.

Yes, however, you will likely have some people chime in on old players despite them playing in a significantly easier game (Cannon, Casanova, Maravich, etc).

may depend on what you mean by athlete. I always think of a best athlete as someone who can excel at multiple sports

ath·lete
/'aTH?let/
noun
a person who is proficient in sports and other forms of physical exercise.
By definition...its hard to say because we dont really know his ability with other forms of physical exercise.
Im going to say no because i think there are better athletes that have been through LSU that could have starred in other sports, not just their main focused sport

1 event 1 sport? Maybe not. Chad Jones for the haters

Todd Kinchen & Tommy Casanova by more than 6.18 meters at least.

No. Pole vault is not a sport that draws the quality of athlete that the 100 meter dash draws. Mondo is not in the top 10 of LSU athletes. Patrick Peterson, Tyrann Mathieu, Derek Stingley, Leonard Fournette, OBJ, are all better athletes.
What can be said about Mondo is that he is the best LSU athlete all-time relative to his peers in his sport and event.

He is gonna get the gold for Sweeden and bring it home to Lafayette

If you're talking about pure athleticism, no. He's not even top 10.
If you're talking about athletic achievement, sure.

Certainly the best pole vaulter the LSU has ever had, FWIW

Not until he takes home a Gold Medal at the Olympics.

He's good. He's even great. But we're LSU and we love football above everything else, so he's competing with Joey Burrow. Between the two, there is something special that might only be surpassed within the next hundred years - long after all of us are gone and a great-grandchildren tell the magnificent tale.

Obviously subjective and excelling at multiple sports (as mentioned) is the side I lean.
I have no idea how good Mondo is at other sports but I'm assuming he's probably pretty good. Also, likely has a very good 40 time and can do other things such as dunk a basketball, etc.

Pistol Pete, Shaq, Mondo
Sha’Carri Richardson may make it up there depending on how her pro career shakes out.

Olympic athlete for sure!

Can you really say someone is the best athlete ever in such a specialized sport ?
Posted on 2/17/20 at 11:55 am to tbabino
Nobody on this board wants to hear it, but Josh Booty would have to be in this conversation. All-SEC QB, first pick in the MLB draft, golfer and track star.
Just not a Dale Carnegie kind of guy.

The greatest pole vaulter but he is not the best LSU athlete ever.
