But guys like Naz Reid, Trendon Watford, Tremont Waters, Antonio Blakeney, Ben Simmons (who should have left obviously), Jarell Martin, Jordan Mickey, etc all left 1 or 2 years in.
There isn’t a single program in the country who would’ve kept any of these guys for longer than they stayed at LSU. The one-and-done rule has largely ruined college basketball and makes it 100x harder to get fan support when you have new faces every single year.
Obviously you have the basketball blue bloods and big conferences drawing in a ton of fans as they always have, but the current state of CBB makes it almost impossible to build big-time fan support at a school that doesn’t already have it

How did UVA keep Kyle Guy so long? Or Villanova Jalen Brunson? Or Wisconsin Sam Dekker and Frank Kaminsky? It isnt like the guys from LSU I mentioned were a bunch of lottery picks (except Ben). Most of then went 2nd round or undrafted. But we need to give them more of a REASON to stay.

Look at Auburn basketball ten years ago and look at Auburn now. Will Wade is just as good a coach as Bruce Pearl. LSU has many or more McDonalds All Americans in the past decade as Auburn it is possible
