How talented is the Julien kid at Madison Prep? They recently won the LCA tourney and everyone said he was the best player at the tourney. He's committed to UL Lafayette. Is he even on Wade's radar? I know we will be loaded with players around his size and skill set next year, but was curious about him. He's running mate Josh LeBlanc is committed to Georgetown. Most over the weekend were saying Julien has more upside then LeBlanc. Thoughts?

Leblanc has much more upside IMO, but Julien has a calm about him that will translate very well to the college game year 1. Needs to add signifigant muscle if he wants to guard larger wings in college, as well as work on speeding up his release on his shot. Julien plays very much under control, both he and Leblanc got looks early on from LSU, but as we narrowed th board and signed the big names no room. Also his game does not really matchup with Wade's brand, not a good or bad thing just style.

Could see both doing very well in there junior and senior years at there respective schools. Leblanc fits perfectly with Georgetown and what they are trying to build. Needs polish on the offensive end though, but both are very tough and play under control. Julien at 6'5 however plays under the rim, but is the type of scorer when he is a junior at UL that could average 15-18 ppg. Leblanc will be a defensive demon.
