Basketball recruiting: LSU a major player for Colombian big man Tony Trocha

According to premium information from several different sites, new LSU assistant Robert Kirby has reached out to mystery post player Tony Trocha of Colombia, who he was recruiting at Georgetown.
The 6-10, 210 center was supposed to be a member of the 2013 class, but is reportedly a good student and is making a move to the 2012 class. He recently took the ACT and is awaiting word on his score. He has been compared to Anthony Davis.
Rivals currently ranks him as a 4-star, based on very limited scouting. He is not ranked at all by Scout or ESPN. He has not played high school or AAU basketball in the United States. Most analysts predicted that he would eventually move up to 5-star status as more people got the opportunity to scout him.
They apparently will not get that chance, as it appears the next time anyone sees him play it will be in college.
He is considering a number of schools, including LSU, Texas A&M, Kentucky, Ohio State, UCLA, Oregon, Providence, Baylor, Houston and others.

Umm... This sounds incredible. even if he is a project, he would be better than Del Piero with a ton of upside... Hopefully keep him on campus a while to develop.

Kirby doing work!
Seriously, LOL at the people who claimed the assistant coaches were basically pointless positions and Trent's weak sauce staff wasn't hurting him

How old is he? I mean will he be coming in 16 or 17 years old?

Kudos to Coach Jones on what seems like a All Star hire in Kirby.

I thought Coach JJ could be an outstanding hire, but he's impressed me as much as any coaching hire we've ever had over this amount of time.
He's leaving no stone unturned, and after the last staff's seeming unwillingness to recruit, it's refreshing.

Anyone have any update? Did he reclassify or is he going to be a 2013 kid? Is LSU still after him?
