yada yada, we both know a PG's height is not as relevant as other positions.

It is when your coach wants his guards to trap and harass passing lanes.

We have a chance but I don't think its a very good one. Hope I'm wrong. He's been very tough to read. A&M is putting together a whale of a class and I wouldn't be surprised if he adds to it.

I just can't see us pulling Thomas at this point but would be a GREAT pick up to go along w/ Simmons.

Just seems like we can't get that other piece to go along with Simmons, was really hoping Thomas could be swayed.

Anyone with predictions on who LSU finishes with?

tbh, we struggled last season as well. LSU missed on nearly all of their first choices until Robinson committed out of nowhere. Gray was also a nice surprise.

For what it's worth my dad used to work with his mom they maintained a keep in touch relationship as pretty good friends relationship come to find out my dad has had the inside scoop from the beginning . Tiger fans do not get your hopes up for elijah he is not LSU. It is down to Illinois, OK. State, and a instate school . Anthony hickey may have talked up LSU but I do believe he had a few choice words to say about Johnny Jones when speaking to elijah ! Move on to blackeney!

Meh... He didn't help his case any in the last two years.


Either way, Thomas is a lot closer to Mickey, so I don't think anything Hickey told him will hold more weight. I think he's going to end up with his buddy at A&M.

ehhh...CJJ tolerated alot of stuff for 2 years before he pulled the plug. Suspending him never worked. I don't think Hickey was a bad guy by all accounts...just never took things too seriously.

He definitely wasn't a bad guy. He just didn't understand that he had certain things he had to do in order to do the things he enjoyed...

class
meetings
non basketball related stuff

He didn't like doing that stuff all that much. He was a guy who would do the community service stuff and I think he actually enjoyed that. It was everything besides that and basketball. He would spend 15 hours in the gym a day if he could... Just would rather not be in a classroom, study hall, or tutoring session.

Never understood that when it's all being paid for and all you have to do is play a game you enjoy.

Great. So we still get the last official before the fall signing period.

Imho, it's gonna come down to whether or not he has a legit offer to Kentucky, or if he wants to change his plans and sign in the spring (to hold out and see what Malik Newman does).
