One website predicts LSU in the men's 2016 Final Four field
LSU's signing of Ben Simmons (20) of Montverde Academy, the nation's best high school player, has short-circuited one web so thoroughly it is picking the Tigers to advance to the 2016 Final Four. (Michael DeMocker)From the "let's really really really get carried away" department comes the prediction that LSU will be in the 2016 Final Four.
Yes, the team that is losing two players to the NBA but that has signed Ben Simmons, the nation's No. 1 high school recruit, as well as top 50 guard Brandon Sampson with a commitment from five-star guard Antonio Blakeney, is being projected by valueaddbasketball.com to join Kentucky, Maryland and Villanova in next year's Final Four.
