Gray should've been our starter 19-10 with him .655 win pct 22-15 without him starting .594% it was again that's on jones he has no clue our players were fine and we had plenty experience duke won it all last year with 3 freshman starters and 4 new starters in the lineup one of which was dismissed from the team mid-season so you could say 5 experience is no excuse for this team


I agree with this. He played some great games his junior year, like against WVA, but he got zero chance to make a meaningful contribution to the team this year and we needed to shake things up big time at the start and the end of the season. He was one of the better guys we had out there for the SEC tournament, but he still played limited minutes. He and Simmons had a nice two man game going early. The A&M run began as soon as Gray went tot he bench. I'm cool with rotating our guys, but it was baffling that they didn't go back to him once the wheels started falling off that game. He didn't reenter until 10+ minutes had passed and it was just a few minutes to halftime and we were down 20 or whatever it was. I question Jones' in game management, personnel choices, and ability to get the most out of his players.

If you think things are shitty now, how many times will LSU get the national TV audiences w/o Simmons. How about ZERO. What ever the minimum of times on the SEC Network, that will be us, which could work for us. Prospects won't get to see the meltdowns that JJ's team practically have mastered.

Gets my vote. The front office just needs to get in touch with Anita Hanjaab and Ben Gerkin.

Most all of the SEC basketball teams will have to be pretty horrible with their coaching and talent next season for LSU to not get humiliated.

I too hope that Blakeney & Sampson have a breakout season, but Blakeney needs to somehow become consistent and Sampson basically showed zero this past season So a breakout season for both is highly questionable.

Patterson regressed last season.
Bridgewater needs to play football.
Victor is 6'9 and has major fouling issues.
Darcy & Elbert, they're just not good at basketball and probably never will be.
Epps should have been good by now if he was going to be good.
Freshmen, no bigs
The 2 juco guys, only 1 big and his juco stats were comparable to Odo, and we all know how that worked out for us.
