Possible Post Players for LSU Recruiting

rivals lists Troy Jones a 6'7" PF from Peabody as unsigned and with an LSU offer and Clyde Santee a 6'8" PF from Houston with an LSU offer but I'm not sure if they 1. have offers now or 2. ever really had LSU offers.

John Odoh already signed his letter of intent with North Texas. He would be a great addition, as he is a very good player. He was previously committed to Southern Miss. It depends on whether Jones is willing to raid UNT's recruiting class, and whether they would release Odoh from his letter. If one of Jones' assistants gets the job, I would say this is doubtful.

Fahro Alihodzic was never contacted by the previous staff. I know that for sure. He is a good player as well.

I have mentioned him in previous posts. He signed with Nebraska in the fall, and then was kicked out of his junior college along with nearly his entire team for undisclosed reasons. The school forfeited the remainder of their season.

The potential connection between Alihodzic and LSU is that he is a former player at Canarias Basketball Academy, where current recruit Shane Hammink plays. After he was kicked out of JUCO, he returned to CBA to spend the semester working out. He played on the team with Hammink that finished second to the USA in a big Euro tournament last week, where Hammink was the MVP.

Since he did not finish junior college, his eligibility may be a question mark. I doubt LSU is involved with him.

Zane Knowles, a 6-9, 245 center at Pearl River Community College, could be a target as well. He has been mentioned here before by several people. He is a former Grambling player and averaged 12.5 points this year. An assistant at Pearl River, Chris Oney, is a reported candidate for an assistants job at LSU.

There are some other potential post player recruits that I am working on right now. Hopefully will have some info soon.

Troy Jones is a SF in college and is definitely going to junior college. He will not qualify.

It looks like Santee, who is also more of a college SF, will go to prep school. He had some mid-major offers, but wanted to go high major. He will go to prep school to increase is opportunities, unless a major offer comes in late.

No. Schools often release players out of courtesy, but they are not required to do so.

The NCAA will allow him a release since he hasn't reported to school yet.

The same thing Gunner Kiel did.

According to Rosetta, two possibilities could include John Odo, a 6-11, 240-pound sophomore from Hill College in Texas who committed to Jones at North Texas, and former Nebraska commit Fahro Alihodzic, a 6-foot-9, 240-pound JUCO big man

Gunner Kiel never signed his LOI with LSU.

ETA: We're going to be a face-paced team next year with our lack of big men.

There are a lot more than that out there. If he is going to sign a project, I would rather it be a junior college player. At least he would have some experience, but if he didn't work out he only uses up a scholarship for two years.
