New story on Virginia Rivals site has him actually considering LSU, Virginia and UCLA.

Took an official visit to UVA this past weekend and said it went great. Will take official visits to LSU and UCLA and then make his decision.

With LSU recruiting both him and Sherrard Brantley, with no scholarships to give, will make for an interesting off-season. Looks like some players will not be returning, or will be losing their scholarships, or both.

I spoke to a current LSU basketball player last week and he told me, "Coach said every scholarship is up for grabs."

Take that FWIW.

Bubba, Sherrard Brantley is a freshman and probally a signee for next year's class. I hear the kid is a great shooter in the same mode in both size and shooting ability as Marcus Thorton.

No, Brantley is signing this spring. I believe he redshirted his freshman year of JUCO. He will have three years to play.

An article just posted about Brantley that said he only played one season at JUCO, but is signing this spring. He must have been eligible out of high school and went to JUCO just to improve his game. If that is the case, he wouldn't have to graduate.

Goodbye Chris Bass and Garrett Green if that's the case.

Maybe Aaron Dotson too, he had a vastly disappointing season.

I don't really like LSU's changes with either of these guys. I predict Hamilton to UCLA and Brantley to Georgia. However, it does open up the discussion of who is coming back and who is not. It certainly makes it known that LSU will sign more than one person next year, as it appears the roster is in flux.

I think Green is needed as a backup for Malcolm White next year, so I don't think he is going anywhere. I think the scholarships in danger are Bass (for performance) and Spencer (for academics.)

New Tigerbait article says Trent Johnson was the first person to contact him after he got his release. Trent then flew out to Utah to meet with him and his family.

Will vist LSU on April 9. Has an offer.

So that is Hamilton and Brantley with firm offers. Wow.

Tigerbait reporting now that Bo Spencer has been suspended for academics. This all starting to make sense and come together.

Well, it just seems to me that Trent is trying to add as many pieces as he can to win.

I would love to see what Trent and Brent Scott could do with this kid.
