re: tOfficial LSU 2015/2016/2017 Basketball Recruiting Thread

The one word I'd use to describe Gates is long. His arms are just stupid long. He looks like Stretch Armstrong. He's got a great frame and pretty good athleticism too. He's got a lot of stuff he needs to work on, but I think he could be a very, very good player with the right development. Like all conference, drafted type good. I really hope we get him and complete a 6 man class. I know it's a callous thing to say, but I kinda hope Darcy transfers. If we get two big men in this class we'll have a major logjam at the 4/5 and we'll be kinda thin at the 3. Darcy leaving opens up a spot to use on a wing. And I like Darcy a lot, I'm just not sure he'll get much playing time with the recruits we've brought in and the ones we might be bringing in.
