It was basically a win-win for him by going to LSU. If LSU was going to make a deep run into the tourney, it was going to be all because of Simmons. If LSU was going to crash and burn (as they have done), all of the blame was going to fall on Johnny Jones and not Simmons.


Simmons effort on the court in several games should be discussed. Blame it on JJ if you want but when does Simmons man up? He, and those around him, are just as responsible as JJ for the shortcomings this season.

Simmons is a great player, but honestly he should have went to duke. He would have better fundamentals and would prolly be ranked #1 right now. I hate to admit this being a huge LSU fan but its the truth and any honest LSU fan should be able to admit this.

All homerism aside, you are right. Simmons will need to toughen up in several areas to excel at the next level. His coworkers in the NBA alone will light a fire under his arse if he doesn't pull his weight.
