Even if he is, I won't be mad.

The back to back 3s against Florida in the sec tournament were badass.

You have to produce at a certain level though to have a realistic shot. Now if wade isn’t brought back next year that can change things drastically. But I think anybody giving him advice should be very honest about the difference another year will make.

Would be a mistake to go pro. He’s not good enough yet

Ben didn’t even try some games. Naz is a team player.

He is.

I've loved the guy since day 1. He could have easily come in and dragged his feet and not really bought into the team concept knowing that his sights were set on the NBA and he wouldn't be here long. Instead, you'd see him diving for loose balls, throwing his body into the lane and learning to play a more physical type game, which isn't something he's ever really had to do and doesn't necessarily showcase the type of prospect he is. Much credit to him for buying in and always being about the team. His physicality and rebounding improvement down the stretch have been instrumental in a number of close wins. We will miss him.

Simmons left a bad taste in everyone's mouth and I'm sure LSU left a bad taste in his as well. But imagine the possibilities if he had played on this team right now. Take away Naz and insert Simmons and think about how you would feel about him. No doubt he would be loved and respected and I'm sure he would have much more love for P&G in that case as well.

It was known that Ben didn't go to class in his second semester.



I can confirm that Naz is still going to classes so there's a chance.

I can't help but wonder what Simmons and that team could have done with a competent coach who could get them all to buy in. Down the stretch, his effort did seem to lag a bit, but so did the whole team's. They clearly had quit on their coach, to the point where we didn't even accept an NIT bid out of fear of further embarrassing ourselves.

Not sure why we even need to compare the two. Both went to LSU so be thankful for that instead of comparing them on whos the better tiger. Side Note: Naz could really benefit from an additional year.

LOL

EVERYONE on this team is leaving.

I'll make a $20 bet that NOBODY who's top 7 in minutes played this year is on this team next year. Who's going to stay on a program under NCAA investigation?

That's why we just gotta win it all this year!
