re: Allen Graves - Louisiana Gatorade Player of the Year

Last year’s POTY went to Boise State after being offered by LSU.. I don’t know if these players are that bad or if there is something else going on here.
It’s not like they are shrugging off LSU for the likes of traditional perennial basketball juggernauts like Duke, UNC, Indiana, Kentucky or even recent top teams like Gonzaga.

Lockett was offered by LSU like his freshman year when he was considered a top 15 prospect in the class. As a senior, he averaged 16/6/4 playing against small schools with the best roster in the state. He then redshirted his freshman year at Boise.

Him not coming to LSU was LSU's decision.

ETA: Just to show what I'm talking about, in March of 2022, Lockett released a Top 5 of LSU, Tulane, Baylor, Arkansas, and Kansas.... Then signed with Boise State 5 months later. He had a bunch of injuries throughout highschool and went from a 5 star point guard prospect to a middling 3 star forward prospect.
