He will certainly out recruit his predicessor. This is a good hire not a grand slam like you guys wanted but given timing it is certainly nothing to be pissed about. If he can get NTU to the tourney he can get LSU back him.

Everyone also forgets that 2 years ago his North Texas team beat Trent's LSU team by 20

I agree he will win. Very excited and put in my request for Season Tickets last night

yep

im willing to give jones a chance but some people are trying to spin this and make it look way better than it is. this is a huge risk of a hire and really isn't that exciting of a move. Also the way it went down looks shady as shite with daddy dale and the gang running things

Are you people ignorant?........dumb question

If you get excited about a coach, your a tool. Get excited about players, the product produced, and results. Sorry you children need immediate satisfaction. X's and O's are the least important factor for a basketball coach. Players is what counts in basketball. Ever watch an NBA game? How much complex offense and defense do you see? Did UK get overly complicated this year? Hell no. Nevermind, 90% of you can't comprehend anyway

Haven't you read all the pleas about not making financial decisions while drinking?

So, the coach has nothing to do with recruiting said players? And, thus, he has no bearing on the "product produced"? Yeah, dude. You nailed it.

some people are seeing the glass as full and its just foolish. Also setting up for disappointment but those same people will just make excuses when we fail to hit the bar they set.

Thinking this hire was meh or not a home run isn't being negative. Im not saying the guy is for sure going to fail, I'm just not going to jump off the sunshine cliff claiming titles with a hire like jones.

Not even close to Hallman man. He will get the locaal kids to stay home that in itself will equate to more wins. And if u doubt him because he comes from a small school ask Urban Meyer how that worked out.

Who said he can't recruit? The man has been on the job for one fricking day. Wtf do you know about basketball. Could you be an AD? What would you have done? I'll answer, you would have shite your pants.

just saying I am about as excited as the Hallman hire. Same ole shite different sport with the cigar filled room dirty politics by the good ole boys and the Bos.

That will not equate wins. We have to recruit nationally to keep with the kentuckys and floridas in our conference.

What's foolish about being an LSU fan and supporting the hire of an alumnus who, one way or another, has won here before?

you honestly think the recruits that jones will drum up in S.E. Louisiana will be able to stay on the court with KY and Florida?
