LSU has a minimum of 5 scholarships available for 2013. My prediction is LSU signs 6 players for 2013, likely 4 post players, a point guard and a wing. The extra scholarship will come from at least one player going pro, or transferring due to a lack of playing time.

This list is based on various recruiting services and other sources and rumors I have heard. It is not definitive and will be changed numerous times over the next year. I welcome any news or comments that would be relative to this list.

Commitments: 5

Deng Deng (PF, 6-8, 215) Lee College, Baytown, TX and Australia. Will have 3 years of eligibility at LSU.

John Odoh (C, 6-10, 230) Hill College, TX. Former UNT signee with Johnny Jones. Will graduate from Hill in December and enroll at midterm. Will redshirt in the spring at LSU and have 2 years remaining to play.

Jordan Mickey (PF, 6-7, 210) Prime Prep, Dallas, TX. 4-star recruit ranked No. 38 in the country. Ohio State, LSU, SMU and Oklahoma State have all offered and are his final 4.
He is LSU wide receiver James Wright's brother.

Tim Quarterman (Combo guard, 6-5, 180) Savannah, Ga. Johnson HS. 4-star multi-purpose player that can play multiple positions, from PG to SF. Ranked No. 62 overall in the Rivals 150. Has many offers and has not announced a final listing. Reportedly took an official visit to LSU on Sept. 16.

Jarell Martin (PF, 6-9, 200) Madison Prep, Baton Rouge, 5-star forward ranked No. 10 in the country in the Rivals 150. No.11 ranked PF on Scout. Martin was somewhat of an unknown player that had a huge summer on the AAU circuit. Has offer from LSU. Also considering Oklahoma State, St. John's, UCLA, Alabama, Louisville and Texas A&M.




Recruits

Dylan Johns (Center, 7-1, 220) England. Played in a summer development program at the Trent Internationale School in Sugarland, TX, but was never a student there. Got some exposure with Trent playing in some summer events. Played on England's U18 national team. Has played on some Spanish club teams. Only played basketball for 4 years. Lots of upside.

David Taylor (PG, 6-2) Germany: Son of former LSU star Derrick Taylor. Has the potential to be a high major recruit. Ranked as the No.13 player in Europe for the 2013 class by Eurohopes.com Read the following scouting report on him:
Euro stars

Keith Frazier (SG, 6-6, 192) Kimball H.S. Dallas; 5-star wing has a final list of LSU, Texas, Texas A&M, Memphis and SMU. Has taken no official visits and plans to be a spring signee.

Brian Bridgewater (SF/PF, 6-6, 220) Scotlandville, Baton Rouge, 3-star forward but has dropped out of the Rivals 150. Ranked as a 4-star on Scout and is the No.17 PF. Brother of former LSU basketball player Brad Bridgewater. Has an LSU offer. Also has offers from Oklahoma State and Baylor. Also considering Kentucky, Georgetown, Alabama, Arizona, Marquette, Oklahoma and Purdue. Also has an offer to play WR/TE for LSU. Could be a big decision for him, choosing which sport to play in college.

I feel like the recruiting services get basketball correct much more than football. Probably because it is less players. I hope we can land a legit big man.

With a good 2011-12 season this could be a special class.
Barber, Martin, Kingsley & Bridgewater

LSU has A LOT of ground to make up on Bridgewater. He's pretty enamored with Arizona.

I cover Madison Prep sports. Jarell Martin is now ranked #20 in ESPNU's Super 60 for the c/o 2013.

I interviewed Jarell for my sports blog yesterday, before their first round playoff game (game audio at link. Good, well-grounded kid.

I think he would fit the mold of the kind of player that disciplined, no-nonsense Trent Johnson is looking for.

I think LSU should take a serious look at Lionheart Leslie out of Vandebilt Catholic. He's a great point guard

Sindarius Thornwell- 2013; mentions he's hearing from LSU. Top 50 wing

Thornwell said he’s been in contact with “everybody in the ACC except Duke, North Carolina and Maryland,” and he mentioned South Carolina, Tennessee, Oklahoma, LSU, Providence, Villanova and Central Florida.

As soon as the 2012 thread dies, which may be never at this rate, we will get rid of it and start a 2014 thread. Until then I will put 2014 in here:

@HOOPSrecruits: RT @FutureOfHoops 2014 Team Scan (NY) PG Conrad Chambers is now receiving interest from LSU.

2015 kid Jones is recruiting.

Cassius Peat.
He's listed as one of the top 20 2015 football players too.

Didn't know where to put but thought you'd like the info.

I have confirmed that Johnny Jones was personally at the Great American Shootout in Duncanville, Texas this past weekend watching Jarell Martin. While this is not huge news, it does cement the fact that LSU has locked onto Martin as their top prospect. The vast majority of other top coaches were in Atlanta at the Peach Jam. I assume LSU sent assistants that that event.

Apparently David Patrick has targeted his first Australian.



From Rivals:


quote:

Earlier this month, Australian combo guard Dante Exum made waves at the World 17 and under. This week, he's in Las Vegas with the Australian Institute of Sport and is a very intriguing prospect. At 6-foot-5, he can handle the ball very well, has some offense and is a fine athlete with length. He says that he's planning to come to the States for school and said that he's had some contact with SMU, North Carolina (where his father played), St. Mary's, Boise State and LSU among others.



His stats from the FIBA U17 world championships

Scored 17 and 21 in two meetings with the USA, including the title game.

From hoopniks.com

quote:

•Dante Exum, 6-5, 2013, PG, Australia Institute of Sport - A smooth lead guard with exceptional body control, the rail thin Exum has the look of a player that could be a future star. Much like 2015 forward Ben Simmons, this Australian would likely rank among the elite players if he was in the United States for high school. Certainly, Exum will need to increase his aggressiveness and add strength to his frame, but there is nothing that would prevent him from being a high-major point guard if he decides to go that route.


This coverage is all from the Las Vegas AAU tournaments that are going on right now, which is the last evaluation period of the summer where college coaches can scout in person.
