Australian who has transfered to Montverde Academy in Orlando. Apparently is the godson of David Patrick. Just a little heads up as there is no 2015 thread yet.

The kid is special. If LSU lands him, that's a huge get.

He is a stud. Would be huge. For a while it was thought he would be transferring into Louisiana, but Im hoping LSU still can land him. Kinda unfortunate that he is going to play prep ball in Florida, but I am hoping David Patrick can still work his magic from afar.

He's one of only 8 players from 2015 who is already a 5-star per Rivals.

#3 player in the country according to 247. Their #1 player Malik Newman is from Mississippi and LSU appears to be scouting him intently.

It is so nice to have a staff that is after big time players all over the globe as opposed to what we had in previous years.

CBS article about Simmons. He will be playing with some super competition. I hope Coach Jones is all over Simmons.

I wonder if this staff is hitting Country Day as hard

No reason to since Thon left for a different state.

And now Khalea Turner is at Curtis instead of Riverside, that's got to be good for LSU.

The future is incredibly bright. Really hoping we get Keith Frazier to wrap up 2013.

Speaking of hoping, I was hoping we could get Ben Simmons to go to HS in Louisiana. I am worried with him playing with other 5 stars. There's gonna be a college coach at every one of his games there... Will be tough, but I hope we can hold onto him.

Being a top 5 ranked five star there would be coaches at a lot of his games whether he plays in La, Florida, Australia, or the moon. It would have been nice to see him at Riverside or Madison Prep of course, but the reality is we will have recruit against the high majors if we want him.

Look on the bright side, he will face elite competition regularly, allows us to visit more frequently, and if we can land him he may attract other top flight talent.

After the haze of the past few years, the possibilities of our bright future make want to all over the place.


Speaking of Keith Frazier, that was for sure a fake twitter account, a few weeks back? I only heard about it from a friend and he seemed unsure.
