ESPN: "LSU is wasting Ben Simmons"

Not looking good for Johnny Jones
quote:
Through eight games, Simmons is averaging 19 points, 15 rebounds and six assists; he's shooting 50 percent from the field. His game is a walking, breathing best-case scenario, a mix of unstoppable athletic talent and brilliant basketball understanding and almost impossible passing polish. His reputation among NBA people has only grown; if he already was a surefire No. 1 overall pick, now he is a franchise-altering future All-Star.
quote:
LSU, as you might have heard, fell 105-98 in overtime Sunday at Houston. Johnny Jones' team is now 4-4 overall. That record has not been the product of a young team adjusting to a challenging nonconference schedule. The two best games on LSU's schedule came in Brooklyn on Nov. 23 and 24, against Marquette and NC State. Neither team is ranked. Both might be headed to the NIT; both beat the Tigers. (Maybe it's worth qualifying that the Wolfpack won in overtime. Then again, when you lose by 11 in overtime, this kind of qualification loses persuasive power.) Then, on Nov. 30, LSU lost at College of Charleston 70-5

We are
Unless Johnny basically runs the table and we make the NCAA tourny, he's going to get in serious jeopardy of losing his job.
This is the worst coaching job I've ever seen at a major sport at LSU. We have arguably top 10 talent, experience and depth at the guard positions, the best player in the country who is our best since Shaq, and we aren't in the top 100 in the country.
That's incredible. A HS basketball coach could do a better job with this team than Johnny.

I told LSU fans this would happen, but nobody wants to listen to ole Bowl until it's too late

Really? Shite, better call Johnny up to make sure he knows. This could be bad.

I went on ESPN and this was one of the stories. How is this being obsessed?

But at least we saw 2 WRs that were underutilized at LSU, kill it on MNF.

How has it been rough on the average LSU fan? I guess it might be for those that take watching kids play a game/sport to serious maybe.

Johnny Jones has been doing less with more since he got to BR. LSU fans are just now starting to notice

When you resort to the "i don't even care, it's just kids and a game." that's when you know it's BAD
