    Long overdue. Maybe the most gifted player at LSU in my lifetime. Goddamn those 2 years were something you had to see in person. Quiet kid with Tourettes with the quickest release ever. Free throws were money. Glad we made amends and got him back in the LSU family.

    gotta love this pic.

    30 years later he still has the record for best average by a freshman at a link over 30 ppg.

    Congrats to him. But that ain't his name.

    He would be perfect for today's NBA. Near the level of Steph Curry, I really believe that.

    He certainly deserves the recognition. I wish we would retire some more football jerseys too. I think Bert Jones, Charles Alexander and Kevin Faulk are deserving on offense. PP21 and Honey Badger at least on defense.

    Todd Walkers jersey is already retired, along with Ben McDonald's, Eddie Furniss and Skip Bertman.
