re: 2015, 2016, and 2017 LSU Basketball Recruiting

I predict he will be the number one player in America for 2014

I did mean recruit by the way lol, and yes I know it is a bold statement, being that he has never played one game of high school ball in the US. But watch his highlight film, and you see the gifts he has and the tools he already has. He has played on the international stage for almost 3 years now, and I read where he thinks he still has another 2-3 inches to grow!

And what makes you think that he's going to LSU? The fact that he's from Australia

Well, you may or may not know who LSU has on their basketball staff. David Patrick knows every potential recruit that comes out fo Australia. Every recruit out of Australia is automatically a front runner by virtue of Patrick being at LSU, thats how important he is.

I know for a fact LSU is recruiting him and I know for a fact that Patrick spoke with him about reclassifying. It was a great decision for him because he could be the first straight to the NBA player in a long time that is regarded as a concensus Top-5 pick from overseas. Bolden will play in the NBA some time soon.

I think LSU is in great shape having Patrick here, but I also can speak objectively and know he may want to go to an established great basketball power. But LSU this year on the court could sway him.

So in short to answer your question yes the fact that he's from Australia is my main determining factor.
