Basketball recruiting: 5-star big man reportedly considering LSU

Norvel Pelle, the Rivals No.1 ranked center from the 2011 class, is reportedly considering LSU, according to his AAU coach.
Pelle signed with St. Johns in 2011, was academically ineligible, and is currently at prep school.

It would certainly be a long shot for LSU to sign him, but I like that we are at least involved with this caliber of player.
I wonder what Pelle's relationship was with Ricardo Gathers, if any?

Recruit List: Norvel Pelle
Pelle signed with St. Johns in 2011, was academically ineligible, and is currently at prep school.

Iowa State will host one of the top players from the class of 2011 on an official visit this weekend.
Norvel Pelle, a 6-foot-9 forward out of Stoneridge Prep in California, will arrive in Ames on Friday afternoon, this according to his AAU coach Brian Beard.
Pelle originally committed to St. John’s in 2011 but was ruled academically ineligible before the 2011-12 college basketball season began. Since then, he’s re-opened his recruitment and according to Beard, is considering Iowa State, San Diego State, UNLV, UTEP, LSU and UConn.
Pelle would be eligible to play in 2012 for whichever school he chooses to attend.

Good heads up Bubba. I appreciate you informing us as it relates to LSU basketball.

why is it a long shot for LSU but not for the rest of his list?
If he signs with LSU it would reduce the whining about Trent.
the player is only 210 lbs. they have him as the #1 center, so I am sure he gets up and has game, but.... light in the pants.
Maybe he's the next Bill Russell. Maybe he needs a running mate built like Wesley Unseld (6 7 270), to maintain order inside.

This would be huge. Trent obviously knows the West Coast and maybe he has some connections. LSU moves into Top 4 in SEC immediately next year if he signs here.

He has visited San Diego State and Iowa State. I will consider it a long shot until he visits. It just appears we are a little late to the party on this. Not being negative, just realistic.

I was doing a little counting of spots that schools may have before any transfers or minus them not have all 13 scholarships to offer or if one of them is a walk on:
Iowa St: 12 current, 2 Sr's, 4 signed letter of intent
S.D St: 13 current, 2 Sr's, 2 signed intent and one committ
UNLV: 16 Current, 1 Sr, 3 signed letter and one commit
UCONN 16 current, 4 Sr'sm 1 committ and probably 2 early entry's leaving.
LSU has more than enough.

One thing we are not thinking about UConn will be on probation next season & Calhoun may retire @ the end of the season

Yes UCONN has been ban from the post season for 2012-2013

I hope their fans can cancel all of their Norvel Big Head orders in time.

I watched the video on the link. this would be a huge get. That kid has a very high motor and runs the court. He would recieve a ton of PT here next year. I hope we add him.
