Johnny Jones wasn't much of a basketball coach but I'll be damned if he didn't have some good players.

I honestly think if McIdiot had these two players, we could possibly make the tourney.

Quarterman and Ben Simmon's Alpha Male bitch fight the whole season divided the team and doomed them from jump.

Looking back, it’s hilarious - but it wasn’t at the time.

We brought in Simmons as the #1 recruit and TQ spent the season jacking all types of crazy shots whenever TF.

LSU basketball does NOT have the CASH and appears not interested in funding a good Bball program.

So LSU (allegedly) had the cash to go out and pay multiple 5 star HS recruits when Wade was the HC, but now has none?

Or perhaps LSU has a coach who doesn't want to do any of the work to drum up the funding. "LSU" isn't paying for the players. Donors are. So go out and solicit donations rather than just hoping/expecting them to be given to you. The lady that occupies the other basketball office does just that

It was really one of the most miserable seasons to watch ever, the players seemed to really dislike each other - zero team chemistry - they end up letting Quarterman play point because he was bitching about it so much - Johnny totally lost the team.

And everyone knew because of that there was no way he could ever be an effective head coach here - he was the walking dead that whole next miserable season.

Hickey was a good pg. Would kind of go hero ball a little too much but he'll sometimes it worked. He would definitely help


My dawg TQ, really came at a time when the oversized pg just becoming a thing. Had so much potential. Didn't he get a triple double vs ole miss?

Not sure anyone is out of eligibility with the amount of power the NCAA has at this point. Pretty sure everyone is a lawsuit away from being eligible.

TQ was one of the most inconsistent LSU basketball players in recent history. You can't be serious???

TQ saw Simmons for the beta that he was.


The problem was TQ while an alpha didn’t have half the talent.

The Florida game popped up on my algorithm the other day. I watched the first half, Simmons and TQ argued the entire time.

I liked both of em. But the two down low guys on that team were damn good

That NC State game should tell you how bad Johnny jones was.
