Has there even been a single lsu fan in this thread?
Are there any lsu basketball fans?
They would have been top 5 with Martin and Mickey back despite their coach.
G Patterson
G Blakeney
F Simmons
F Martin
F Mickey
Hornsby, Quarterman, Gray, and Victor off the bench. That would have been a great team that even a mediocre coach could win with.
As it stands, they have a solid top 25 team.

Quarterman is an excellent sixth man (a starter last year). Gray was their sixth man at the end of last year and I believe he started some earlier in the year. That's a good 7-man rotation. Lacking a little size with Simmons and Victor as the only guys over 6'8 in the main rotation.
They have some big guys, but none of them have shown to be very good thus far.
They should give us a run for our money in the SEC. I don't expect much out of them in the NCAA tourney, though. If they win more than one game, I will be surprised.
Something else about the article.
Simmons is the consensus #1. Aren't there sites that have Labissiere as #1?
And the article also makes it sound like Simmons is the undisputed #1 pick in the 2016 draft.
Don't most mock drafts have Labissiere going #1?
I know those are minor things, but I thought they were worth pointing out.
That was rude!!.............................. I tried to keep a straight face....really I did!I'll make it as clear as I can- you're an idiot.
If Martin or Mickey had returned, they would be a top-10 team, had both returned maybe top-10. They might sniff the top-20.
But like someone said, they have the same coach.
I'm going to see Keith's Dad this weekend in Chicago!Simmons isn't Magic but he's close enough to get LSU in the discussion. People making fun of the prediction are kidding themselves. They could easily have beaten UK last season. Whether we won or lost was part of the statistical "noise". I think LSU has good players and played us tough. Martin and Mickie weren't the only reasons either. Keith Hornsby was 7-14 and was everywhere on the court. Had they not suddenly gone away from him, he was hot enough to have beaten us. But the coach went with his stars and they were too tired at the end. Hornsby reminds me of the Notre Dame guards who gave us fits in the tournament. Basketball is a team game, but a team with one or two super players coupled with really good players who know the game can go all the way. *cough* Wisconsin.
wow, you do realize who their coach is don't you?They could win it all. I have them a top 6 team next season and I can very well see them cutting down the nets.
Kentucky/UNC/Duke/LSU/KU/Maryland/IU are in play for the title IMO.

I'll be seeing him with what's left of the good old Grateful Dead! I wonder if I'll bump into Bill Walton???We saw him do a solo show. It must be 10 years ago now.

Serious question: What is the problem with Johnny Jones? It seems that whenever he is mentioned here there are several mentions of what a bad coach he is, but never anything specific. I'm not saying I think he's a great coach, I'm just wondering if the posters who don't respect him could say a bit more.
Bad at Xs and Os?
Bad at developing talent?
Bad at maintaining morale?
I would mention recruiting but I can't believe anyone would seriously doubt what he's done there.

Thoughts/expectations on this season? FWIW I don't mind blakeneys mentality at all.

How far can Johnny Jones take a team? His tournament resume speaks to the point:
2015 - SEC 0-1 NCAA 0-1
2014 - SEC 1-1 NIT 1-1
2013 - SEC 1-1
2002-2012 - (North Texas) - NCAA O-2
