I'm still pissed at Johnny Jones for starting Simmons over Tim Quarterman. Dude didn't earn shite and the locker room responded accordingly.



You're upset Johnny Jones started the best player in the country that year?
If the other players had a problem with a pass first athletic freak running the point while playing great defense, then they were the problem.

Absolutely. Quarterman was putting up triple-doubles the year before Simmons came, but basically got glued to the bench out the gate. When Jones chose the princess over the seasoned warrior, the chemistry on the team went to shite. The team regressed badly with Simmons putting up empty stats. Chemistry got so bad that the team literally quit rather than play in the NIT.

Not the entire board, but a vocal majority seem to be.

You clearly didnt watch this LSU season then.

At LSU simmons was a head case. That team made the tourney the year before with Jarrell Martin and Jordan Mickey.

We literally kept the same squad and swapped out Simmons and Craig Victor and sucked balls because Simmons wanted to play PG, forcing us to play most games short a big man.

At LSU he never took a single shot in warm ups.

He was and still is a complete headcase

If we had a roster spot Cam Reddish wouldn’t be a bad pickup for it
