re: Noah Dickerson has asked for his release from Florida

I hope it happens and think that JJ should definitely go after Noah, BUT Ben Love is about as connected as you can be to the LSU basketball team and he has been pretty adamant that this class is done and that the staff wants to save the last scholly for a mid-year transfer like Victor last year

This was all before Dickerson became available and I still don't buy the saving a scholarship for a mid year transfer because that just sounds stupid.

So, don't get your hopes up.

He also said (before Noah asked for his release) that the staff wasn't confident that he was going to be available to them.

Still need to wait and see if Florida grants release, and if they do, what restrictions they place on his transfer.

Hollingsworth does good work at 247. He's not nearly as in tune with the program as Ben Love is, but 247's basketball coverage is getting better.

Going from not covering to somewhat is nice, but I was referring to the site as a whole. They're missing a ton of prospects from their site completely, rarely update the rankings and profiles (like how is there not more articles about the EYBL tournament in Houston?!). They also only really have one guy that is dedicated to hoops nationally (Jerry Meyer).
