re: Dear LSU bandwagon basketball fans on Tigerdroppings........

Johnny brought Simmons here. He sold him on LSU and used LSU notable alumni to reel him in. He also hired Patrick. No Johnny no Ben Simmons. Your point is?

Please refer to post I was commenting on before I acknowledge this post.

Shut the frick up

Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades

Simmons would have considered any power 5 school that Patrick was at. Do you really think he comes here without Patrick on the bench?

No Johnny Jones no Patrick

FIFY

Yea we're LSU and have work to do it would be nice if we could get Simmons Magee Blakeny Newman Sampson and Victor all in the same recruiting class. I'll take 4 out of 6.

Again, while Malone, Bridgewater, and Elbert are not starters, they all could contribute if developed and used meaningfully. Gray contributed meaningfully last year only to be inexplicably left out of the rotation this year. It was no surprise his play was inconsistent. If your argument is that these guys are undevelopable, then JJ should not have given them scholarships.

Also, I notice that you did not mention Epps. You may very well be Johnny Jones because he seemed to forget about Epps too.

I see where you're coming from with the post. I agree only time will tell how good this class is. I am banking on that it is a good class for the pure fact that he signed everyone so early.

I didn't bring up Epps and Robinson because I think they will be assets and contribute next year. They are program players and I think we will start to get some return on our investment next year.
