Not sure I would call Shaq 'skinny'. They both came to LSU weighing almost the same. Shaq was listed at 286 his freshman year and Stanley was 288. They may have fudged on Stanley's weight, but it doesn't change the fact that Shaq was already big.

Yea I'm not sure where you read that, but I was there. Shaq was pretty thin freshman year and Stanley was not close to thin. It was night and day

We also had Junior Wayne Sims and Sophomore's with a lot of experience returning in Jackson, Boudreaux and Williamson.

Boudreaux and Williamson were Prop 48s just like Stanley.

Their only experience was pick up games and intramurals at the field house their first year in campus .

Stanley did love to run the point and shoot three pointers his freshman year, miss him lots!

What really jumps out to me is that LSU fans couldn't wait to fire the most successful basketball coach in LSU history, in part because he should have won more with that much talent.

that was very understandable considering how badly he was exposed during this time of having no clue. With those two plus Chris Jackson brown had no excuse. And after this time he did nothing but bring the program all the way back down to where it was when he started. It's truly hard to forgive him for that.

True Mike, I forgot old Prop 48, but we did have Singleton, Sims and Jackson who had been through some wars, wasn't as though we had all young greenhorns surrounding very talented frosh.
