While LSU is done at guard (barring something unexpected), here are a few updates for the OP:

- Penn G Tyler Perkins committed to Villanova.
- Iona G Greg Gordon committed to UAB.
- Drake G Kevin Overton committed to Texas Tech.

Also, it sounds like LSU is out of it for Clifford Omoruyi per on3’s Joe Tipton:

I appreciate the update. I’ll get the thread updated this evening. I need to double check but I think the only add for our contacts is Ezewiro from St Louis

My guess is Omoruyi is looking for more NIL than MM can or is willing to hand out like several other of the top 4 or 5 at each position. Ballo was asking for $1.2M and likely got that or close to it from Indiana. Omoruyi was probably also looking for about 7 figures and that is probably half or more of MM's total amount for 12-13 players.

I'm afraid that is where coach Cal is going to eat at Arkansas as he will be looking at about $6M for NIL budget which is even a big raise over what he had to work with at UK.

Unfortunately it doesn't matter of these top players like LSU or coach, at the end of the day its money for them. The 2nd and 3rd tier players are looking for some as well but opportunity probably starts to weigh more in the decision.

Just updated the thread. I also took Tarris Reed off the list because he has an On3 RPM prediction to UCONN and most insiders are hearing they have it locked up.
