Shaq must have been on acid when he said this. What sane human being would ever want their son to play for a horrible horrible coach like Johnny Jones?

Of course he should go to LSU. The number 1 pick in the NBA draft just came from LSU. Can't beat that.

well, he did just produce a #1 pick, and Shaq said he wants a guy that can teach next level stuff

He is a 2018 recruit, Jones will be long gone by then.

look, I'd like Shaq's son to come here, too. But no one at LSU "produced" a no. 1 pick. Simmons came here the presumptive first pick and, honestly, the way his weaknesses (few but notable) were exposed he's lucky his skill set was enough to hang on to that spot.

Is this old? It references that 'LSU pays very well' thing that we know Shaq said a while back. Of course he was joking and retracted it all but still took some negative flack for it for a while.

Simmons was considered #1 before he ever set foot on campus. LSU produced nothing.

quote:

I have three in mind: Johnny Jones, LSU, because I know him personally, Calipari and the coach from Michigan State ... Tom Izzo. I've told my son many times, it's your decision and it is [his] decision. ... I need somebody that's gonna curse him out, treat him like a man. Those three guys are the ones I would like him to play for."

His son probably has choices narrowed to UK and Mich St....

Shaq said lets put a top 3 and put LSU in it...I know you are not going there but it will make it easier for LSU faithful to swallow losing a recruit and keep my popularity high????

Would be surprised if Duke doesn't make it into that mix before it's done.

His dad is a fcking legend at LSU. There is no way he doesn't at least consider us.

People like to forget that Skal Labissier and Ben Simmons were basically 1a and 1b in all the rankings when they were coming out of high school. Skal got lost in the mix at kentucky and his draft stock tumbled.
