I doubt we have a shot at him. Also doubt this is his last commitment.

Ricardo Gathers, one of the top available prospect, gave Scott Drew and his staff a verbal pledge Monday evening. Greg Gathers -- Ricardo's brother -- confirmed the news.

"Ricardo has always wanted to play and have a chance of winning a national championship and I think Baylor fits that," Gathers' brother told Scout.com.

According to Gathers, Baylor's current recruiting class factored into the decision making.

Sucks big time for us

Scott Drew had a little extra something laying around I guess.

Isn't Scott Drew seen as a shady recruiter?

That's awesome! When LSU hires Scott Drew it will make getting Gathers to sign with LSU that much easier.

Man this hurts. The difference between a top 25 team contending for an sec title and a bubble team IMO. Trent better learn how to recruit local talent or he's toast. Can't let these guys get away.

Everybody keeps saying Drew is dirty(which he probably is since he's a college basketball coach) but until something legit actually comes to light it's just message board BS.

If true, I wish he would've stayed with St Johns. All he did was hold up LSU's recruiting for 4 more months.

He said two weeks ago, he was taking all his visits and giving his final four all a solid look. Good luck to him, but a very bizarre recruitment for what is supposedly a grounded individual.

motherfricker. a huge blow to lsu hoops. This really hurts the chances for this team to make a leap forward in 2013. They now have to recruit a big for depth (and hope o'bryant doesn't make a bad decision and leave, which is unlikely but not impossible). gathers seems like a good guy, just didn't see enough from lsu (and saw a lot from baylor) this year. depressing.

Trent better get to getting. His future at LSU depends on having something coming in when Hamilton (and O'Bryant) leave.

Until we find a coach who can recruit in the south, we're in trouble.

I know some may not believe, but this is not a big loss if he goes somewhere else. He really is not a very good shooter, does not handle the ball well, though he does rebound . I could see him playing football if basketball doesn't turn out. We'll see.
