By questioning their claim that Labissere is the #1 player in the country maybe?

A major recruiting service named someone not Simmons #1. I don't see where there's much to question personally.

You have a point. I'm bored at work and just typing to type. Your 50,637th post is a good one.

There's plenty questions
1) will he even be eligible to play?
2) is there now a "Kentucky" bump
3) rivals is a shitty recruiting service, why so much credit to them? Because you're play is number one according to them?
4) we have the national player of the year who's received national awards, and is the composite number 1 player. Who cares about rivals?

Now you're just making shite up. Only Duke ranks ahead of LSU. Plus LSU, has fewer players in their class. Not to mention Victor, who was a top 50 player in his class and a 5 star on a few sites, isn't listed in our point total. He transferred from Arizona to be closer to suck family.

A lot of people do.

There's a decent amount of hub bub that he will but he may have to sit out a few games.

Why the discredit when it's a service that's been around for sometime and pretty widely used? Because Simmons isn't #1? We could play this game all day.

We could, but we don't have to. Simmons is clearly the best player.

In what service?

UK is #1 for 247 (LSU #2) LINK

Arizona is #1 for Rivals (LSU #2, UK #3) LINK

UK is #1 for Scout and LSU isn't even close at #7. LINK

And ESPN is showing UK as #1 and LSU at #3 by this LINK (Sorry it's mobile if you can find another)

And I believe both teams only have 3 recruits as well. If I've mis-posted team rankings please feel free to correct it as I'm doing it from mobile at work.

ETA: UK is also looking at JUCO and graduate transfers who wouldn't count towards their total either.

Duke was at #1 very briefly on 247. Kentucky and LSU both moved up ahead of them after the final rankings.

Don't be so defensive. Life on the rant has obviously made you synical and calloused. Don't be so negative. It wasn't "smack" talk. It was just a sentence.

Who really cares? Good for him.

Simmons swept the national award so I think LSU is in good hands.

This shite is funny. Cal may snag 4 kids that are ranked in the top 15.

He already has 2...about to get his 3rd after this weekend (Murray) and if Diallo commits, it would be 4. Oh, throw in Mulder.

Bring that shite LSU. With Alex, Ulis, Lee, and Hawkins, we will be loaded.

Tbf Skal was ruled inelgible due to TSSAA's shitty transfer rules and had to play for a shitty home school team. They only played like 10 games all season. It is why he wasn't able to play in the McDonald's game.

He hasn't played much organized basketball in over 2 years.

Since Skal has been able to play against these guys at the hoop summit practices and Jordan stuff he has been far and away the best player according to scouts and recruiting people.

His performance at the Hoop Summit practices skyrocketed him to #1 on Draftexpress and now #1 on Rivals.

Not sure why y'all are so upset about this. He might not even be allowed to play.

Dude it is a single elimination tournament. It is the worst way to find a champion in sports. They've been to like 5 final fours since he has been there. That is more than like 90% of schools have in their history.

I'm still waiting for one of these LSU folks to confirm that "#1 recruiting class in the country" statement they've so fondly thrown around.
