Been reading and seems most of the guys ion the board are wings...who are the possibilities of big men that we could get. with the loss of hamilton we need a 6'9"-6'11" presence in the post. Is there anyone still available

Norvel Pelle, Trent was supposedly after him but last I saw LSU was not on his list.

Is Pelle even a realistic option right now?

There are some juco guys out there. I don't want to list any until I find out if LSU is actually in contact. I predict LSU will sign two posts, maybe a juco and a high school player.

I think Pelle named some top schools and LSU wasn't one of them. He doenst seem to be an option.

Longshot but still a possibility. From west coast and SDSU is after him. Probably not looking good. This article is from prior to TJ leaving but everyone knew he was leaving by April 4th.

Already signed with UNT. I doubt Johnny would poach his former signees, but I could be wrong.

JUCO Junction

This is a ranking of the Top 150 junior college players. Don't take it too seriously, as it is a preseason list and has not been updated. Many of the players that are D1 transfers, like Patrick Swilling, are ranked really low or not ranked at all because they didn't play junior college ball at all last year.

One HUGE problem for SDSU. They dont have a scholarship, and do you free one up for a guy who may not qualify academically?

Bubba, have you heard something specific, or is this just what you think?

What about Devonta Pollard? He's from Mississippi, ranked the #22 overall prospect according to Rivals. We aren't listed at all, but being from MS you would think there would be some interest.

Any info?

these things have a way of working out, and pelle is not qualified so they dont have to worry about it yet

Based on Juno junction ... There were several guys in the 6'9" to 6'11" range who have not signed

Yes, that is what I've been saying. There are players out there, but lots of variables like academics, eligibility, talent, mutual interest, etc.

Hopefully Johnny was on a few of these at North Texas, or possibly an assistant he hires has made inroads. It's kind of late to start from scratch on a player.

Sanchez went to juco in NYC but since he is giving Auburn a chance maybe LSU can get in there.
