And now, Ceasar said he's one of several players from the Brown era who have gone to Alleva to plead for Jones. He claimed the feeling is strong.

"If they don't hire Johnny, they might not have an alumni game because nobody's going to want to go back there," he said.

And if it isn't strange enough to have apparent phantom candidates in the search, the search has been unusual for how polarizing its lead candidate seems to be.

Jones, who was interviewed for the job when Johnson was hired in 2008, was the early favorite. But many LSU fans, aware of the school's resources and ability to attract big names, felt that settling for a coach who's never won an NCAA tournament game and has never coached above the Sun Belt Conference level, would be resigning the program to a mediocre future.

"These fans haven't been in that locker room and they don't understand what Johnny Jones means," Ceasar said. "I could have gone to a lot of places, but I came to LSU because of Johnny Jones. When he came to recruit me, he made me feel like the prettiest girl at the prom.

"He recruited all of us. He recruited Shaq. He recruited Vernel (Singleton). He brought us all in.We came to LSU because of Johnny Jones."
