Why don't top basketball players...

seem to want to play for LSU lately? I know there are some solid players coming in next year, but really no one that's expected to set the world on fire. Why is it Calipari can get seemingly anyone he wants to come play for him? Is this just a facilities thing?

No fan support, IMO.

Obciously, we can't pay recruits more than Calipari can to come here. How long til UK gets crushed by the NCAA again? 3 years...tops.

College coaches get in on these guys starting in middle school. Just like the NBA knows all the 15 year old phenoms out there, CBB coaches know them from 12-13 years old. Brady was a piece of shite and was handed 50% of the elite talent he had at LSU.
That will change, but it takes time.

Who would you rather play for: Duke, UNC, or LSU?

I think it's a combination of lacking coaching magnetism since Dale's tenure ended, sanctions for a spell, in-state talent level fluctuations, LSU slide back to a regional recruiter from national and international under DB, the dated facilities, and a weak fanbase.
Most all have been improved or are being improved as we speak..except the LSU Hoops Fanbase..which continues to suck and retract..a major detriment to LSU Hoops lack of regional and national appeal.
Outside of the great 1979-80 & 1980-81 teams, 1988 CJ Frosh year, Shaq years '89-90-91, 2000 SW16, 2005-06 Final 4, and last year's SEC Champs..pitiful crowds. And even during some of the aforementioned, especially Brady era and last year..still majority weak crowds unless a ranked team or Ky is in town.
I love LSU and I love hoops..but LSU fans don't deserve a top-tier hoops program!
