Malik Morgan (SG, 6-3, 180): New Orleans (John Curtis): 4-star player ranked No. 17 SG & 76 overall. No.2 player in Louisiana. This is a big commitment from both a talent and PR standpoint. Offers from Boston College, Ga. Tech, Missouri, Oklahoma.
Shavon Coleman (SF, 6-6, 195): Thibodaux, La., Howard (TX) Junior College. Was a Rivals 150 player in high school. Ranked as the No. 8 JUCO player in the country by JUCOjunction.com. Recruited by LSU, but had academic issues out of high school and signed with Louisiana-Monroe, but was not eligible and went to highly rated Howard. LSU has watched him ever since. He is averaging about 14 and 7 on a loaded team. Is really just what LSU is missing -- a long, wing scorer. Visited LSU, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Oregon State. Had offers from all. Also considered Memphis and Nebraska. Signed with LSU on 4-23-12.
Shane Hammink (SG, 6-6, 190) Canarias Basketball Academy, Spain: One of the top young players in Europe, Hammink is ranked as the No.13 prospect in Europe for the 2012 class. Attends the prestigous CBA, which is the top basketball destination for young Euro stars. Son of former LSU star and first round draft pick Geert Hammink. Born in Baton Rouge in 1994. LSU has offered, along with Florida, Iowa, Miami and Northeastern.
Corban Collins (PG, 6-3, 190) Woodstock, VA, Massanutten Military Academy. 3-star on Rivals in Class of 2013. Has made decision to move up to class of 2012. Committed to LSU over offers from Cincinnati, Central Florida and Virginia Tech. Rutgers, Virginia and Pittsburgh also recruited.
This is LSU's recruiting list at this point, to the best of my knowledge:
John Odoh (C, 6-11, 240) Hill Junior College, Hill, TX/Nigeria. Ranked as the No. 103 overall junior college prospect by JUCOjunction.com. Has been released from his letter of intent to North Texas. Currently attending summer school at Hill JC to graduate and become eligible. Considered by many to be a lock for LSU upon gaining eligibility.

Not impressive at all....TJ has to go and he will, he will not improve in the SEC and Aleva will be forced to fire him. Heck Aleva may be fired too...

Well written post Bubba. I never thought that LSU was all that intrested in Javan Felix. Ive seen the kid play several times and in my opinion, LSU missed out on nothing. The kid is a good not great highschool player. LSU did not need another under six foot guard.

Of the bigger names only ones I really see LSU having a shot at(that I know of) is Morgan and Milburn.
Pollard - Miss St
Howard - Georgetown, Maryland, Arkansas
Cleare - Maryland
I could add Bail to that too, but the last update I seen he didn't name LSU as one the schools that is recruiting him hard.

Even though getting both may be redundant I'd have no problem if we did it. Our wings right now are just Turner and Issac. It's not like we're going to have many others beating down the door to get the schollys anyway.

Most of the schools recruiting LJ Rose has received commits from other top PG. This should help LSU the same way it help with JOB last year

Darryl Milburn (SG, 6-2, 200) Baton Rouge (McKinley): 4-star, No. 19 SG and 98 overall. Third-ranked player in Louisiana. LSU has not offered, likely awaiting Morgan’s decision. It is doubtful LSU would sign both. Has offer from Oklahoma State.
I can't believe this. If he is a 4 Star Prospect, from 1 mile off of campus, you take him. Even if we get another other SG. SG and SF is pretty much interchangeable in college basketball, and we don't really have much depth at either. I don't think our program is in the position to wait to offer solid recruits.

Darryl Milburn - If Lsu offer he would committ, can flat out score the ball and jump with the best of them.

You can't say this loud enough. Especially after D-Beck left. Who do we really have left at the wing positions? The majority of the minutes left with Dotson and Derenbecker.

Milburn may have an offer now. I don't know. I'm sure things have changed with Derenbecker gone.
However, you never know about these situations. These players all play together and know each other from camps, etc. A lot of times the coaches know that certain players won't commit to the same school, because they know they are similar players with similar skills. Not saying that is the case here, but just generalizing. That is quite common.
