re: 2015, 2016, and 2017 LSU Basketball Recruiting

he's very much in play especially w/ the simmons link

Start a new one !!!

My bad on not being as active I will update the thread tomorrow.

I have an internship with a big a insurance company down in New Orleans, and being the office bi%*ch don't have a lot of free time.

Will do a comprehensive list of all recruits, regardless of how "likely" they come. If we have shown interest and or the recruit has shown interest I will gladly add them.

Sorry for not keeping up with it. I know besides Bubba, Ben, and select few others basketball recruiting gets very little pub here or anywhere else. Thx to Coach D, Sos, and S as always keeping this thread on life support.

This. I think we push hard for Owens and have a great shot at him

I've heard that Lsu is not really pressing for Owens, and think that can land a bigger fish.I would like to see him in the class though .

Again sorry for not keeping up with the thread.

I updated the front page, its still not done. I have 15 guys for the class of 2015 that by tomorrow I will have up there. Just a start but hope it looks good enough.

I am business/political science major not a digital media specialist . Even though people give me shite all the time for going to a small, private, liberal arts college, that focuses more on pottery and fingerpainting than sports sadly.

The information on owens is from a paysite that recieved the info from people on the lsu side

@GoodmanESPN: Doubt it will happen in 2015-16, but imagine LSU frontcourt of Ben Simmons, Jarrell Martin and Jordan Mickey. Would be best in country.

@GoodmanESPN: Not much Ben Simmons cannot do. Scores in variety of ways and is a tremendous passer. 6-8 Aussie looks like best player in country.

I'm pretty jealous

Yeah Its starting to look kind of dim on the Blakeney front,but you never know. LINK

I know you said you don't want to compare Ben to another player, but it's hard not to say he's a bigger, better version of Benji Wilson. If anyone doesn't know who Ben Wilson was, he was a phenom high school recruit out of Chicago in the 80's. He was called Magic Johnson with a jumpshot. He was 6'6 but ran an offense better than any guard. He was the first basketball super recruit, a kind of predecessor to LeBron, Carmelo, Wiggins, and now Simmons. Sadly, he was shot and killed in Chicago after having an altercation with another man on a street corner. Our Ben has a very similar skill set to Wilson. Wilson was a supreme athlete, had a rare ability to see the court, was more than adept at finishing through contact, were tremendous passers, had a sweet stroke from outside, and played tremendous D. Ben shares all these traits with Benji, but is also a better shot blocker, rebounder, and has Benji by about 3-4 inches and 40 pounds. Ben Simmons is a complete player.
