yeah, just look at what this kid is doing at UCLA


Morgan is averaging 2.6 PPG and 1.1 reboundss.
Joachim Noah averaged 3.5 PPG and 2.6 rebounds as a freshman.

Morgan likley would have played more at LSU. There may be better players ahead of him at UCLA.

The point being made is instead of retaining the prized recruit of last year's class he requested his release when Johnson was named coach. He may become a star by next year.

Have you ever asked yourself why Morgan didn't follow Brady to ASU instead???

First of all Brady has too much class to do something like that and hurt the LSU team and the players he recruited and coached.

Second, why would a player suddenly have an interest in a school he had no prior connection to. Arkansas State is a lower profile school. Brady was being paid to go there and was also drawing a salary from LSU to buyy out his contract. Morgan had no such parachute.

How many players in any sport ever follow their coach to a new school?

The Brady Bashers should apologize for attacking Brady even while he was leading LSU to the Final-4.
Thanks for scaring away some of our state's best talent--

Morgan probably will end up being a stud at some point. But, he didn't leave because Johnson came in. No one knows for sure, but I would guess he felt he made a mistake signing with us and saw Brady leaving as an available "out" more then anything.

I don't know that Johnson is the true reason he left, but all I know is he was coming to LSU as long as Brady and Butch were here and it changed when Johnson arrive. My post was in response to the cheap shot taken at Brady's recruiting in comparison to Johnson's.

We often joke about it, but if some of you really don't believe that CT, Jr. was the prime recruiter for that Final 4 team, then you're delusional. He knew most of those kids since they were in little league. We owe thanks to him for talking the kids into staying in town.
A misguided point in a largely misguided thread. How long is the list of schools outside of Louisiana who were recruiting Glen Davis, Garrett Temple, and Tyrus Thomas?

Some of you gals make it sound as if CT2 convinced these three not to go to Duke.

Also, Brady went to the Final Four a year after losing his best player. And not a pat on the back from you ladies because he didn't smile enough and have a twinkle in his eye. Sorry that Brady didn't provide enough romance for you.

Defensively, Brady is and always was a great coach. Just look at the scoreboards through the years.
Offensively, Brady needed basketball's equivalent of an offensive coordinator.

Final Four. I was right, you were wrong.

I wouldn't worry about Ark State beating us. All we would have to do is run a zone def and watch their guys stand around for 40 minutes.
Any coach who has ever coached against John Brady and not run a zone deserves to be fired.

If a team goes 6-10 in the conference one year, then 8-8 the next, then 7-9 the next, then 8-8 the next, that's not two consecutive seasons of regression, but come on.

It's as if someone deliberately put a hindrance on the development on our program. I remember those years, and I couldn't help that LSU was at an inherent disadvantage because of the decisions of an organization based in Indianapolis.

I must be imagining things.

Absolutely. They're shitty fans, every goddamn one of 'em. It's a good thing Brady didn't win a national title--we'd still have him!

No, it changed when Butch left. Don't make Morgan wanting out of his LOI a Johnson issue--Johnson didn't run him off and he didn't leave b/c Johnson was hired. He left b/c Butch and Brady weren't going to coach here this year.

I think it's safe to say on behalf of all Brady Bashers, and aligning our logic with theirs, that Trent Johnson ran off Morgan.

It looks as though tiger20 and Bad Cat can at least acknowledge that TJ is now the right fit at LSU. xiv/Misty Brady on the other hand...

Brady lovers will never change, much like Saban haters. Talking about Brady is like speaking ill of the dead. Does Arky State not have a message board? He will never coach a big program again, and it won't be because of LSU fans.

I'll admit I was a BB but during his run I backed off giving him one last chance the following year...yet he just reverting back to the same old Brady Ball...

Hey bad cat, xiv, tigger20, and wittle beetles, Where is yall's butt buddy coaching now? Where? That's right, the perennial powehouse, Arkansas St. Why? Cause no real team, and certainly no real PROGRAM wanted anything to do with him. He's a fricking clown, and yall know it! He will never, EVER, EVER get a job at a real college again, EVER. He's a fricking joke. You can talk about his few years here that were decent all you want, and by the way, all 3 of those even ending in catastrophic crushing embarrasing beatdowns! If as yall say he was so fricking great, then why is he at Arkansas St? Why assholes! Cause any AD with a brain will never hire him as a basketball coach at a decent Div 1 school!

tigerstros brings up a great point.

This is for you Brady Cat:

If other div I AD thought the way about Brady that y'all do, then why wasn't he picked up at another equal or even better basketball school? Why isn't struggling and desperate UGA even speaking of John Brady? WHy isn't Bama even mentioning the name? How about Mizzou when they lose Mike Anderson to Bama? Think they'll go after Brady?

Brady ended up at a minor like ASU because that's all he had...or go back to div II where he belongs. He was a cheap hire from a small school. He was all we had in 1997 to really choose from. We took what they gave us.

So, if Brady is the mastermind you and your buddies say he is, then why isn't he at another div I school worth a shite? Where's his name on coaching short lists?

You nailed it Pisces! The only reason Brady even ever got the job here was because of the Dranconian Sanctions which yall are so fond of! He will never be hired by any Real Div 1 school. Matter of fact Brady lovers, put your money where yalls big mouths are! When is Brady's interview with Alabama or Georgia scheduled for? I'm sure they will not want to pass up on such a talented and personable coach as this! Tell me when you find out when his interviews are. I'm sure he will get shots at those jobs, since according to yall, he is just outstanding, and there are no dranconian sanctions at either Bama or Georgia to deal with either, so no built in excuses shitheads. Plus he knows the SEC, or rather knows how to lose in it, and should know the south and the surrounding recruiting territories!

Have trouble understanding what words mean?

I would have fired Brady at the end of last season.

When you read the above sentence, and when you see the order in which the words are, can you comprehend its meaning?

What makes the Brady Bashers shitty fans is this:
1) No matter what bad happened to the program, they blamed it on Brady.
2) No matter what good happened to the program, they gave the credit to someone other than Brady.

This is true of even the "smart" Brady Bashers.
