Landwise its a very big country yes, but basketball wise it strictly limited to a couple of basketball academies and cities, and Patrick actually helps coach and run some of these programs. He knew Darcy Malone when he was 7 and actually coached him for like 3 years. When I say he knows every prospect that has even the potential of going D-1 he knows every prospect.
Look at Bolden's film, and ask yourself this a 6'11 bonafide true SF that has a developed mid-range game, has great court vision, can lead the break and be a Lebron type PG, and can bang down low if need be. You see why I think he could be #1 for 2014. Out of all the film I have seen on the 2014 class he impresses me the most, and he is only 16! He is young for the 2015 class, he could be 17 when he starts working out for Pro scouts after his college year.
Your right I in no way pencil every Australia kid as an LSU lean, but to dismiss the connection as nothing more than a recruit knowing a coach, it goes way beyond that, Patrick is seen as the godfather of sorts in Australia basketball.
Yes I do think Exum is a top-5 pick because of his age and international experience, people often say Indiana is his top choice right now, I say its the leauge.

Bolden isn't 6'11", and he's 17, not 16 (unless his FIBA profile is wrong). FIBA profile
He also doesn't seem like a "Lebron type PG" or a "banger" from his highlight videos (yes, I watched them). He seems like a long, athletic combo forward with a solid all-around skill set and high bball IQ. He's an impressive prospect, no doubt. But to say that he's going to be the #1 prospect in his class is probably a bit hyperbolic.
I'm not doubting Patrick's connections, but he's not going to be able to get every college prospect that comes out of the country, especially when blue bloods are involved. It's still early in Bolden's recruitment... We'll see where it goes.
It would definitely help LSU's cause imo if Victor were to pick LSU, considering they'll both be playing for Findlay this season. Findlay will be loaded. It should be interesting to see how they distribute their playing time between Oubre, Bolden, and Victor.
