Are LSU fans ready to admit that Ben Simmons has been bad for LSU basketball?

i'm sure the majority are not; at least the majority of posters on the rant. I came to this conclusion a while back even tho I didn't want to believe it.

on a side note, if true, our coach was stuck. no way he could have done anything about it early as he would have been crucified by the press and the fans. it is a terrible situation and will happen again somewhere. the stupid one year thing is the root cause. a kid only has to take 12 hours his first semester (basket weaving 101) and then can quit. this is the worst situation I have ever seen in any college sport. it needs to be returned to the colleges and tell the nba to frick off.

I'm generally apathetic about basketball, but I actually tried harder not to care this season. The hype around Ben always made me uneasy.

In hindsight LSU basketball is the nerdy guy who got to date a 10 for a little while, but she never put out and maxed out all the credit cards before she left.

Because they turned out to suck?
I don't think there's much to say or debate with that. If they were going to suck they were going to suck. I can't see how thats Ben Simmons fault. Everyone already knew what he was going to do at the end of the year no matter what. Without Ben Simmons we might have won 10 games. That would have been worse.

Without Simmons LSU is a 5-28 team ....Wish he wouldn't have come and JJ would be fired by now.
Of course with our sucky AD Joe Alleva. JJ would still get another year.

well, I'll say he hasn't been good for us. With the failed expectations and now the allegations, he's beginning to feel a little like Lester Earl pt 2
