They really want me to believe this guy...



is a saint? That's a good one.

I can't wait until we pull Blakeney and two thoughts are prominent on that board:

1. LSU cheated to get him
2. Blakeney isn't that good, here's three other guys on our team that are better

Their mod even said that if Antonio made visits into SEC country, he'd have to change his prediction because he "knows how things work down there". This coming from a guy who cheers for a team in the same conference as Duke, Miami, and FSU. AND their fricking coaches have a penitent for restaurant BJ's and romantic motorcycle rides. The hypocrisy is real. I'm not claiming we don't cheat, cause we do. Gotta play the game to win the game, but that blatant homerism is insane.

That's the big difference between us (SEC basketball fans) and fans of other programs, and why they think they're morally superior. We are realistic, they are idealistic.

Basketball recruiting is infinitely shadier than football recruiting, but football fans are more apt to acknowledge the shadiness. And the SEC is a football conference first.

Some great articles over at Scout on Brandon Sampson. Those with a sub, I highly suggest you give it a read.

Duke fans are absolutely comical in their belief that Duke is the cleanest program ever run.

Brandon feels that LSU treats him as a high priority even with Simmons on board. Sees benefits of home, but isn't tied down. Family feels the same way. It's a long article that goes into how he and his mom are handling recruitment (and it actually has substance and isn't fluff/buzzwords) + a second article on outlook of upcoming season and him vs. other top LA prospects.

Thank you.

Sounds like a good kid who's really weighing his options. I don't think taking another guard will deter Brandon at all, since UCLA already has a commitment from Prince Ali.

Juco Forward. That's about all I know. He could be fill in for some of our early departures.

Ugh this class could dwindle away pretty quick, we really need Thomas and Sampson if we cant get Blakeney.

I'd imagine if y'all push for Sampson, you'll get him. Why no LSU interest for Jacob Evans?

Evans might be getting a phone call right now.

I think what we want to finish up with is:

PF Thomas
SG Sampson
SG Evans
PG Lott
