So today the Advocate LINK had a piece on this U-High kid I've seen play a few times and was always pretty impressed. I saw on another thread LINKthat TJ (or anybody else on the LSU staff for that matter) hasn't really taken the time to walk a block or so to check him out.
The last time I saw him was against Episcopal and their man-child star, Brian Bridgewater. They might as well have cleared the court and let these 2 kids do a 1-1. Although Episcopal won the game, I thought Stanley won the battle.

Hopefully this will get the coach's to at least take some notice, it certainly seems like they could use a true PG and somebody that can shoot the ball.

You would think that U-High would be a clear channel to LSU, wouldn't you?

I've never seen the kid play so I will not give an opinion of his talents. However, just as scoring a bunch of points in college doesn't make you an NBA player, scoring a bunch of points in high school doesn't make you a college player.

Before you criticize LSU for not recruiting him, tell us who is recruiting him.

If Stanley is really good, he needs to get his PR and promotions machine working. I just searched for him on youtube and got nothing. I searched for articles on him and this thread came up, along with the Advocate article this thread references.

He is also not in any recruiting databases.

I have not seen the kid play in high school, but did see him play in middle school a bunch. He was very short for his age at the time, and did not hit a growth spurt until late. Even in the 8th grade he could light it up from the outside like few I have seen.

He didn't play much for the freshman team at CHS, so he transferred to U High and is a stud there.

I would think that judging white guards (that arent true point guards) in high school has to be very tough. How can you really tell the difference between a Gerry Mcnamara, Teddy Dupay, Lee Humphrey, Bobby Frasor that play at a Syracuse, Florida, UNC, etc... from a Luke Zumo, Chase Stanley, Charlie Thompson, etc...that end up at a Loyola or Centenary type school. They can all light it up from the outside.

I know guys like Hinrich, Reddick, Brent Nelson were all in the 6'4 range, but the other big time white shooting guards I mentioned were in the 5'10 to 6'2 range.

C Stanley is actually Chase Stanley from U-high. He is 6'1 and 170 pounds. I'm not sure who the Dylan kid is, but I've been to a ton of U-high games this year and he's been putting up 30 pounds a ton, which is pretty amazing since almost every team in their district has played a box and one against him or been double and triple teaming him.

He's put up 30 points 14 times (which is exactly half their games) so far, and even broke the U-high single game scoring record this year with 47 points. Thats a pretty big accomplisment considering the talent to come out of that school (Big Baby and Collis Temple in the past 8 years). He's also leading his team in points, assists, rebounds, steals, etc.

Regarding the earlier statement about Bridgewater, in three matchups this year he's outscored and outplayed Bridgewater twice. In each of those games, Bridgewater guarded Stanley and he still put up monster numbers (36 and 34) against what is considered to be a top college prospect.

While I don't think LSU is actively recruiting him at this time (I mean, why would they want a kid shooting 85% from the free throw line and around 50% from the field and three point lines), I do know that he's received interest so far from ACC and Big 12 schools as well as a few of the in state schools.

His biggest obstacle in recruiting is that he's only played for U-high for two seasons and in his junior year he was basically asked to distribute the ball only and not to score.


This is the best description I've seen of his situation coming from the last thread. I guarantee you he will be tearing it up for some D1 college in the next few years.

So, did this guy ever sign anywhere, or was this much ado about nothing?

I felt certain this kid would be signing with Duke as much grief as LSU got in this thread for not recruiting him.
