Seriously, dude, you are a schmuck if you truly believe your opinion carries more weight than mine or any other random swinging dick's on this board.

ignore the fact that Hamilton, O'Bryant, and Hickey can play and w are improving is beyond ignorant. If we can get Turner playing every night like he did against Arkansas we'll be in really good shape.


Nobody is ignoring that we have improved, but we are still far from good. Hell, I bet some of Smoke Laval's teams showed improvement over previous years. When you are fricking putrid, it is pretty easy to improve.

A good consistent scorer/SG is all this team is missing in my opinion. Add in the current players future experience and this has the makeup to be a pretty damn good team.

Stop deflecting from your Derenbecker statement.

Derenbecker was one of our best players? bullshite dude. He was a one dimensional shooter with zero perimeter defensive ability and a total liability on that end. We're ten times the defensive team without him and one of the few reasons we're better this year.


Okay, if he wasn't one of our better players, why did he log so many minutes? Was Trent incapable of recognizing the better talent behind him? The only LSU players that are better are Hickey, JOB, and Hamilton. Turner is probably better, but he has regressed badly this year.

Derenbecker was highly regarded out of high school. The state has been extremely weak as far as talent goes. Derenbecker simply didn't work out. We were horrid on defense last year and he was a major reason for that.

So basically, we're fricked if we do, fricked if we don't. Don't sign MD, you complain about his recruiting. Sign him and play him, and it's an indictment against TJ because DD is too slow to play perimeter defense.

Okay, then you are reading between lines that don't exist. I have said plenty about how I feel about Trent. Good luck finding a single post where I said he should be fired before the end of this year. I have been pretty consistent in saying 8-8 in the SEC or bust. Been saying it since last season ended, actually.

Brady, to this point, is a far more successful coach than TJ at LSU.


Sorry, I said I was leaving..... but I had to interject here:

By what measure?

SEC record through the first four years? Trent's ALREADY won more SEC games (21) than Brady did (20) in his first four, and Trent has (in my mind) 5-6 wins remaining THIS season.

Overall wins? Both at 62, so Trent could lose out and be no worse than even.

NCAA Tournament? Brady went to the sweet sixteen (beating SE Missouri State and Texas, losing to Final Four bound Wisconsin), Johnson to the second round (beating #9 Butler...(ever heard of them?), before losing to national champion North Carolina. IN North Carolina.) Sounds like a wash to me.

So, what's the measure? The "eyeball test?" "Personality?"

Come the frick on.

People need to stop IMAGINING LSU's basketball past and LOOK at LSU's basketball past.

I never said my opinion carries more weight than anyone elses. Your opinion is just ridiculous.

So pray tell, how would you remedy the current state of the LSU intercollegiate basketball program?

And you've also been consistent in bringing up John Brady at every available opportunity. He's not our coach anymore, not sure if you realize that.

People will always compare the current coach to the former. If you can't handle this, avoid the Rant. I don't want Brady back, but I don't think we should be paying Trent Johnson twice as much to do half as well.

Yeah when that coach is a year or two removed. We're way past bringing up John Brady at this point.

Then why do people keep saying "Brady left the cupboard bare"? Can you only use his name when building up the current coach?

Trent makes like 400k more than what Brady did. Based on his accomplishments at Stanford and Nevada, thats what it was going to take to bring him in.

Take a deep breath, step back, and lets see what happens here on out. Brady was a fricking dolt and didn't do shite outside of 3 or so good seasons. We even gave him 10 years. The program is getting better. If we shite the bed here on out this season, Trent will likely be gone.

Because that was a conversation a year or two removed from his being fired.
