What you see is what you get. All those years at North Texas, with a mediocre record, and nobody wanted to hire him. Along comes Alleva and poor ole LSU. He duplicated the Trent Johnson mistake, with the Johnny "Dale & Colis's Good Ole Boy" Jones mistake. Joey Boy could've and should've admitted the latest mistake after this season. Just cut bait and move on. Why prolong the agony for another year? It's a foregone conclusion that 2016-17 will be a legendary "Lame Duck" year of embarrassment for LSU Basketball. (Both Men's and Women's) This is what goes down into reality when there's a certified "MA" (Mediocrity Acceptor) sitting in the Athletic Director's throne. There's no competitive fire and demand for excellence.................................
With the new agent/NBA camp rules that went to effect this year, you will see many young guys testing the waters after the season. Only real option for the player and wouldn't be smart to not get a foot in the door early. Most of the time the result will be what happened with Blackney and stay with current team.
