Martin will make it top 10. Now, whether the services rank it in the top 10 is another question. Some of them show clear biases.

ETA: We will probably also not get much bump from Odoh or Deng. They tend to minimize Juco players in the team rankings on most sites. Hell, several of them don't even list Odoh.

Not sure if he has ever had one but I can tell you that if he keeps it going the way it is going now, we are likely to have a few of them in the near future...

I am just hoping all this talent can gel together on the court and bring W's

They already have, but it's very pointless right now. They don't keep them up to date.

Rivals Class Rankings as of 9/20/2012

Scout Rankings (up to date)

Notice how crappy the Scout rankings are. There is no excuse for LSU being ranked outside of the top 15. Plug our numbers in there and see how we fare.

Not for sure. He likes Louisville alot, and hasn't taken any of his officials yet. He's gonna stretch it out to the spring signing period, but according to many different people LSU is in really good shape.

Not yet for Martin, but this is a very solid class, especially since it fills the team's biggest need, frontcourt size.

I think LSU is going to look for one more player, unless they expect one of the 8 returning guys to transfer or go pro (no one is even on the radar of scouts, except O'Bryant, but I guarantee he is rated way lower than he thinks).

Bridgewater or Martin will be the final player, I bet.

Well I have to admit, I was wrong about JJ, I was totally against this hire, but I am man enough to say he has flat out proven me wrong. He has my full support from here on out.

Glad to see someone have that passion about the BB program again, here is hoping we get Martin also..

Nothing is for certain, but a lot of people believe he is ours to lose. He is definitely an LSU fan, so that helps.

If he comes in at the semester break, as planned, then that will be a correct classification.

In that case, we'll have to kick someone off the team or hope O'Bryant goes pro and ends up in a third-rate European league.
