I can't wait until it's eventually announced. We'll get Serraneux and Gcocboi to right on cue say "Ahmahgad LSU didn't win a national title with pistol? lollololol" amongst others to derail what should be a civil thread and fun discussion

Pete Maravich?
Overrated.
Sucked.
Ball hog.
Couldn't hold a candle to today's players.
Showboat.
Floppy hair/floppy socks.

Jaeson had a good set shot, not great going to the goal. Josh was an above-average high school player. Decent shot but could attack the basket and play aggressive D. Josh was far more athletic... He played at LSU a few years, although only saw the court once that I can recall.

Just add a "How did Johnny jones not make the Elite 8 in year three with a whopping 6 SEC ready players?" and we should be good to go

I think CBS did one Final Four weekend last year or year before that was pretty good.
I think the next LSU one will be about Warren Morris with Bertman involved.

No, that is just the beginning.
Someone will criticize Maravich for not making any 3 pointers and say his game was one dimensional as well.
My favorite part is the South Carolina, Arkansas, Ole Miss, and Texas A&M fans who have the "championship or bust" mentality when it comes to LSU sports.
The height of irony.

The greatest player at handling a basketball (dribbling/passing/shooting) there ever was.

Maravich is college GOAT with even no 3 point line.
44.2 PPG. I repeat 44.2 PPG. In. College. All time leading scorer in D1.
I want to see an SEC storied on him.

When you think Mount Rushmore of SEC basketball he's number one for anyone older than 40. Much more than just a player. Sensational basketball showman, really. Standing room only crowds in the old Cow Palace for 3 years which helped to finance the current Pete Maravich Assembly Center. Wish he could have gotten to play with the Celtics while he still had two good legs.

pete maravich is probably the only athlete from LSU i have ever liked so much respect for his game and craft

Leading scorer all time (D1. He scored all those points in three years. Greatest ever.

I would've loved to see what his ppg would've been if the 3 pt shot was around back then.

My idol as a kid when he was with the Jazz in the late 70s.
I love looking at film of him at LSU with his socks and hair and the no-look passes ! He was one-of-a-kind.....

Definitely need one. When I was a kid I saw Pistol Pete and LSU play John Mengelt and Auburn. I believe that Mengelt actually scored more that Maravich in that game, but I believe it was something like 50 points for each. Unbelievable

There were several big time scorers in that time frame:
Pistol Pete LSU
John Mengelt Auburn
Johnny Neumann Ole Miss
Travis Grant Western Ky or ?
Dwight 'Bo' Lamar USL (ULL)
Austin Carr - ND
