Real reason why LSU is not playing in NIT is they can't find Simmons, who's going to have his pro day on Monday in Australia.


If so, what a disaster the whole Simmons/LSU/college thing has been.

If this doesn't kill one and dones then nothing will.

He's a retard for signing with Jones in the first place, I wouldn't be shocked if true.

i doubt any NBA team is going to go to Aus. when the season is still going on. I doubt he can have a pro day unless it fits in with the NBA schedule

This wouldn't surprise me. It's been all about Simmons since the start and never about LSU. Good riddance

I don't buy an Australian pro day. That doesn't make any kind of sense.

I do buy that he has already decided to GTFO and has made contact with an agent, making himself ineligible.

Ben's pro day will go like this:

"Wow, look at this kid handle the ball."
"Jeeze, this kid can run for his size."

"Whoa, we're going to have to work on his shot. And by work on I mean completely create one out of thin air."

"Where would be put him? A true 4 and 5 will abuse this kid and a 3 will blow right by him. Gonna need some work."

"Jesus Christ. How can someone so athletically gifted be so bad at shooting a basketball?"

He really treated LSU poorly all the way around. Unfortunate if true.

LOL y'all really think he's gonna have his pro day in a foreign country during the NBA season coming right off a 15 hour flight?

Hope I am wrong, but I see another Manziel or Russell in the making with him. Not so much the partying, but lack of desire to get any better. Unless he gains 50 pounds before next October, the big men in the NBA are going to beat the chit out of him like a drum

LSU is not playing in the NIT because they feared that they would not be selected to play in the NIT, therefore electing to attempt to save face.
