maybe the first real "leaper" LSU ever had.
The Astronaut.
Publicity went to his head and left college one season too soon but that bro could sky.

E Eric Guirard the local attorney in Baton Rouge is the one who wrote the song TIGERS TO THE TOP in 1980. It was corny as hell but it actually caught on because nobody else did a song about them but him.

Willie Sims was Jewish, BTW. I think he ended up immigrating to Israel.

Part of the Redemptorist pipeline ... DeArmond, Hackabee, Hi-C, Taylor, Duhe. All contributors to the Golden age of LSU basketball. RIP RHS.
