Breaking News: LSU to hire Stanford's Men's Basketball Coach
So by Wayner's definition, only Duke and perhaps UNC are teams that compete year;y for the NCAA Basketball title. You set some mighty high standards my friend. LSU fans will be ecstatic for a string of sweet sixteen appearances with the occasional visit to the Final Four. In fact, I think most schools would be pretty happy with that.
Also, Louisiana produces about 3-4 very good players a year that almost always end up someplace else. There's no reason whatsoever to think that LSU can't develop the network and resources that would result in these kids looking at LSU before other schools out of state. Brady practically did that already with the occasional good guy slipping through the cracks for lack of schollys.
