Ben Simmons being the #1 NBA pick notwithstanding, this is pretty impressive.

Simmons at least won rookie of the year and was a solid playmaker for a while. There have been more embarrassing top picks (like JR who i love)

LSU is the only school period (all time not just since 2000), I believe, to have the #1 pick in all three, and they’ve done that twice in each sport

I also see some problem with that diagram. Tennessee has never had a #1 overall pick in the MLB draft

Remember “1 MORE YEAR” after Miami?
Do we win it all in 07 if JR comes back?

Print the shirts! Seriously, that would look pretty cool on a t-shirt.

the fall when LSU had Ben Simmons and Leonard Fournette both coming on campus was so insanely electric and optimistic and it all crashed and burned so fast

I would add UNC to that list if the Saints had done what they should done in '81...

Wasn’t Shaq the number 1 pick? I’d rather think of him when looking at this.

Biggest letdown since Keiland Williams’s calves.
