Not like i'm fapping yet, but it seems like Louisville fans think we're a serious threat to land him

Also hoping Elijah Thomas gets back into play since his cousin is Mickey

Now it's three crystal ball's to LSU! I think the news that UL may look elsewhere, plus all the Simmons and Blakeney would like to play together chatter is swaying the recruitniks.

Apparently, Louisville prefers Donovan Mitchell over Antonio. I personally think they're insane. But if it gets us Blakeney, I'm fine with it.

In related Crystal Ball news, Brandon Sampson has like 9 predictions to UCLA. Damn.

Exactly. The fans I heard saying this were all saying that Mitchell's skillset fits perfectly into what UL wants... That being said I think Blakeney is the same way to LSU with his ability to stretch the floor but also drive into the lane.

Since that offer came, everyone seems to think he's going out west... We shall see. LSU needs some guards this recruiting period.

Hopefully Mitchell pulls the trigger to UL soon and Malik Newman drags his decision out. There have been rumors swirling that Newman might be going to Starkville, which would cause Kentucky to push for Antonio. If that happens, we can kiss him goodbye. Can you imagine Elijah Thomas blocking a shot, grabbing the rebound, outlitting to Ben Simmons, Ben turns it up court and finds Antonio Blakeney for a thunderous alley oop. They just complement each other so well.

I think, and hope, it has everything to do with UCLA's prestige as a power program and there's nothing concrete. Really want Sampson in this class, but if we don't get him I hope the staff goes hard after Dwayne Bacon or Corey Sanders.

Updated the OP to add Jack McVeigh. Really like his overall game, but his size kind of concerns me. If he can add on good weight and put in work on his three pointer, I think he can be Dougie McBuckets 2.0.

Never thought I'd see the day I would cheer for Kentucky to land Newman. If it means Blakeney is a Tiger (assuming UL lands Mitchell), then go cats

Not to sound disrespectful, but if Sampson wants to go and scrub up algae off his court, then UCLA is the only place for him to go...

Lots of momentum for LSU and Blakeney. Can't say I'm most excited.

LSU Offers 2017 Peabody Guard Cedric Russell

Knew they would, did not think it would be this early, but he's high D1 for sure if he continues on his pace. Good Look HCJJ

Seems like the last 3 or 4 years Louisiana has been putting out some good talent, hopefully we can latch on to a few of these guys.

I keep hating that Trent passed on Markel Brown. I think that's the one thing we sorely missed last year

Wait until the class of 17. It is so stacked.

LSU offered Jacob Evans (6'5" SG/SF). He's at St. Michael and should see a ton of new offers and possible top 100 ranking.

Going to do a breakdown on Evans tonight. Will probably get rid of Frazier to make it fit.

Updated to include Evans.

Also, Melvin Frazier is featured prominently in a new Intel commercial.
