Apparently a false resume issue. No master's degree as indicated.

Montrezl Harrell of Virginia Tech has committed to Louisville. LSU tried to get involved with him, unsuccessfully.

Fo shizzle Montrezl.

Shouldn't Jones have already been aware of this?

Sounds like Trocha did not meet the requirements for his test score. However, Trocha did choose to re-take the test, looking to have a passing score and a step closer to being eligible.
Source didn’t say of an exact date as to when Trocha will know if he has qualified this time around, but it should be before July.
Kentucky, Texas A&M, Providence & more heavily involved.



Apparently Tony Trocha did not make the required score on his first attempt. He is not 2012 just yet.

Depends on who did the vetting at both No. Tex and LSU.

Seems, and it's purely a guess, that this would be a function of the AD's office.

Corban Collins is in Baton Rouge right now. I wonder if he's at the baseball game?

Former LSU recruit Clyde Santee has committed to UMass. He is not academically eligible and will sit out his freshman year. That answers the question for me of why he has not had a lot of recruiting interest.

He had lots of major programs recruiting him early on, and some nice offers, but those apparently all got dropped when his academic situation became known.

Not really a Mike McReady type. More of a Stone Gossard, rhythm guitarist.

LSU ranked 13 out of 14 in the SEC. Johnny Jones did a good job given the situation. Still optimistic for this season, especially if Odoh gets eligible.

Man, that is cold disrespect if I have ever seen it. This should be on the bulletin board as incentive. I have faith that our recruits are far better than this and I believe we will see that next year. Geaux Tigers!!

It's neither surprising, nor disrespectful. Foreign and JUCO players generally are unranked or lowly ranked, because of lack of exposure and scouting.

Three of our four signees are either JUCO or foreign. That is the reason for the low ranking.

yea that ranking is skewed. I can't wait until the season begins. I hope Odoh gets his act together. Next years recruiting is going to be fun.

Are you referring to the website verbalcommits.com?

If so, that site lists potential recruits, as well as commits. It is very outdated.

So we currently stand at:

O'Bryant
Hickey
Stringer
Ludwig
Courtney
Morgan
Hammink
Coleman
Godfrey
Collins


If Odoh makes it, that's 11. So we'd have at least 3 scholarships for sure for 2013.

We'd be 6'11, 6'9, 6'9, 6'9, 6'8, 6,6, 6,6, 6'4, 6,3, 5'10, 5'9.

If these kids can play, we can make the tournament next season. We won't be small/lazy at the 1,2,3 the whole game.

Awesome.
