I guess if early playing time is paramount in his decision, then there isn't much LSU can do. LSU has a 6'11 5th year senior with major conf. experience and two potential NBA players (Reid & Emmitt Williams). Those guys aren't sitting much this season.
From all indications he needs to mature physically before he can really be effective. That would be the case at LSU or elsewhere. However, the good news (for him) is that at least 1, likely 2, and perhaps 3 of the guys ahead of him will be gone after this upcoming season. He could mature as a freshman in a low-stress situation (he wouldn't be a focal point this season), then step into a starting role next season. But, to each their own.

What we're looking for is a kid who can be a safety valve contributor to give us height off the bench in case of injuries or foul trouble, and then blossom into a legit SEC starter at the 5 in his second year.
Which says "international player" to me.
You find a Jose Vargas somewhere this summer, and you've nailed it. I'm guessing we could do that, though I'm not all that up on Wade's international connections. Gotta figure if there was a high school kid still out there better than Braun we had a shot at we would already know about him.
