Here's my question: What's the angle for him on this staff? He was bringing Australians to St. Mary's but, frankly, LSU doesn't need a pipeline of Australians (though I'm sure they wouldn't turn down another Andrew Bogut).

Can his time with the Rockets translate to him having Texas recruiting connections that can turn him into an more conventional recruiter?

It would be great for LSU if he can recruit Texas and still bring in the occasional Aussie or Euro (David Taylor?).

I think his niche will be Australia, but he has been in the U.S. for a long time. St. Mary's did not just recruit Australian players. I am sure he will be capable of recruiting domestic and international players.

Dredging my memory cells for this one but does anyone remember Eddie Palubinksa(sp?)

He was an Australian guard that Dale brought in who was a very good player, great shooter! Wouldn 't mind another one of those for sure!

Do you have any clue what kind of Australian talent, some practically under our noses, is coming up in the next few years? If I pointed out a thread from bubba would you read it?

Cliff notes: bubba pointed out that the #1 national prospect as of now for both 15 and 16 are Aussies.
