McMahon adding another proven recruiter to his staff. Patrick brought in some of LSU's best talent while working under Johnny Jones. He was the primary recruiter of the following players:

Ah, yes. Ben Simmons’ godfather 

Posted on 5/22/24 at 12:51 pm to tigersham
Does he have any more godchildren that are all world?

One of these things ended up being not at all like the others and I am not talking about Simmons

Didn’t Wade kick Galen Alexander off the team for doing some stupid stuff…along with Mayan Kiir IIRC?

Yup and he got in trouble at his next stop too, IIRC.

That’s right. All jokes aside, that is a good pickup for Mac.

Honestly this is a super solid hire. He was a good recruiter when he was here. If we can get past the whole Ben Simmons godfather thing then no one should have problems with this

Hiring current head coaches as assistants usually bodes well for a staff. Having someone with that level of commitment and attention to detail is helpful.

What coaches from last year have left?

This is a really, really good hire. Recruiting has been on the uptick anyway, but this will take it to the next level.
And it never hurts to have more hands on deck to get Cenac to LSU.

There any good Aussies coming down the pipe?

Need an Aussie super star or for that matter - any super star.
Nice hire

With this hire, I'm pretty sure the current staff has ties to Brady, Johnson, Jones, and Wade
Tasmin Mitchell - played for Brady and Johnson. Coached on Wade's staff
David Patrick - Coached on Jones' staff
Jalen Courtney - Played for Johnson and Jones at LSU
Casey Long - Coached on Wade's staffs at Chattanooga and VCU
Ronrico White - Played for Wade at Chattanooga
If McMahon can get Bob Starkey to come back to the men's game we can put Brown on that list as well!

Why would we need to "get past" the consensus All American and National Freshman of the Year who posted a 19/12/7 average at LSU before being the #1 overall pick?
What I can't get past is that top 10 talented starting 5 in the country roster not even making the tournament and I blame Johnny fricking Jones for that.

It’s nothing to hold over David Patrick. He brought a great talent to LSU. It’s not his fault Ben Simmons turned out to be a complacent, unmotivated player.
Simmons didn’t want to play in college and caused a bunch of locker room issues.
Look at how he’s performed in the NBA. Still hasn’t developed a jump shot.

That’s amazing. Not sure though if this is a good thing or bad thing.

I’m curious if this is in expectation of getting rid of McMahon in the middle of the season.
You have someone who has been a head coach and prepared to take over when needed.
