Ben Simmons has played his last college basketball game.

[HammerDown]

My guess is he's on a plane to LA to participate in Hakeem's camp for NBA big men?

Hakeem the dream!

He should transfer to Vandy instead of going to the NBA.

This season has to be very bad for LSU and recruiting. If you can't even make the tournament with the best NBA prospect of recent memory then that's not a good thing.

 

[tabascojet]

Knowing they suck so bad that even any attempt at the nit is futile......classic!

 

[The Derski]

They turned down all other tournaments after not being selected..

LSU will not participate in NCAA, NIT, other postseason tournaments

He couldn't meet their academic requirements. Rumor is he's majoring in Peanut Butter and Jelly with a minor in Natty Light at LSU.

I love it! Fuck 'em.

 

[tabascojet]

It is far easier thing to decline all invites to lesser tournaments than to fake Simmons eligibity any longer......

So is this an official R.I.P to LSU Bball?

For the foreseeable future, yes.

If Simmons went to a traditional blueblood he would have been the talk of everyone all the time. Not only does this hurt LSU, but it hurts other non traditional bluebloods in recruiting big timers.

Don't get them turning down an NIT invite.

 

[redseat]

The way ESPN has been covering him you would have thought LSU had already won it all.

 

[redseat]

He couldn't meet their academic requirements. Rumor is he's majoring in Peanut Butter and Jelly with a minor in Natty Light at LSU.

and he still couldn't get a 2.0

I can only hope that the Sixers finally get the 1st pick? They need to get over this shitshow soon. Simmons would be a huge turnaround.

 

[Texas Jefe]

I'm thinking Simmons said he's done, moving on. Would look bad for the team to play in a tourney without him.

Kind of a shitty thing for the other players on the team, what if they would like to play in the NIT? It's out of their hands.
