I thiink that poster is projecting more from his high school career and recruiting rankings. He was a highly ranked prospect. And we need to keep in mind he should have been playing high school last year. I would have said he has the potential to be a good scorer

Amazing how the Rant can down vote stats. You know facts! Just trying to keep it real. A player isn't a great scorer until he proves it on the court. Doesn't mean he can't be or won't be a great scorer, just means he hasn't shown it so far, so maybe a little less enthusiasm and more of a wait and see attitude.

I’m pretty sure Miss State is after Miller. Buddy of mine was at Sullivan’s and saw one of their assistant coaches eating with a guy with blonde dreads. I figured it had to be him.

That wouldn’t surprise me a lot of teams are after him. I think our biggest threat to pull him away is still Michigan though.

Very nice that we made the final 3 for Ward, but I'm sure he will stay on the east coast, likely Hoyas. Kind of like with Noah Batchelor, made his final 2 but he stayed east coast near home too. Our coaching staff is going to have to have a "prove it" year or two for these out of region top 60 players to really take that step.

Give me 3 of these 5: KJ Williams, Lofton Jr, Camden, Miller, Reid and I think we will have a nice team to win back the hearts of the future recruits and media following. Getting one is highly likely, two is possible, and three has at least a small chance.

Perhaps. And it must be noted Kevin Nickleberry (now at Georgetown) was who was previously recruiting him to LSU. That said, this has to be a make or break year for Ewing at Georgetown. He has been terrible there and would have long been fired if he wasn't the best player in the history of the program. So the angle the other schools can take is that the coaching staff you sign with at Georgetown may not be there next season. Barring something crazy, LSU's staff (or at least HC) will be here for a while.

Lofton is probably a long shot. He's not a "Louisiana" kid and only ended up at Tech because he was an underrated recruit. There are many big time programs showing interest. LSU might not have the "chops" right now to compete for a guy like him.

However, if LSU can land KJ Williams and add another 1-2 frontcourt players with size, that should at least allow them to compete in the SEC. Compete being a chance to finish in the top 1/2 of the league standings. LSU would probably be solid at PG. Guys like Camden and Fountain could give you that "stretch 4" ability. We know Wilkinson can defend and knock down corner 3's. Williams could give you that true scoring Center LSU really hasn't had since Johnny O'Bryant (Naz Reid was a big guy who really wanted to play more on the outside than in).

Defense and guard shooting would still remain a question mark. But EVERYTHING is a question make until we actually see the team play.

First CB just came in for Georgetown. Would be shocked if we land him.

Nickleberry and his former recruiter at Xavier are now on the Georgetown staff. They have to be the favorite to land him. I'd understand his decision to go there...but that doesn't change the fact that coaching staff is still flat out awful.

They have been trying desperately to recreate the John Thompson era. Unfortunately they forgot (a) college basketball is a differnt world from when Thompson was hired; (b) there was only one John Thompson, Jr...who was the right man for the right place at the right time, and (c) There is no Patrick Ewing out there for Patrick Ewing to recruit.

Also, in unrelated basketball news. A guy who is one letter away from the best name in history just committed to Hawaii

Did he ever have an offer from us? Lockett is the one that we need to try and keep in state, as well as Corey Chest who we are in a good spot for I think. Kansas is on Lockett’s list so it will be an uphill battle for McMahon.
