He was one of the first guys Jones offered. There's more than his freshman production to look forward to.

Doesn't matter. Chad Lott started last year at 16 for the 17u team.

The fact of the matter is he plays for UHIGH with Johnny's son, of course he is gonna get an offer. He's a good player but I think there are better talents out there. I watched him play one game against a really good team and he all muster was three points. Just a sophomore but still if you get an offer from LSU I need to see more

Yeah looks like the 16u team either way, that's where his offer was earned not at school IMO.

Apparently I'm not good enough friends with him like mays. I guess we all assume that because he got an LSU offer he has to be amazing, well I'll hold all of your words to that.

So, if he's only getting attention because of where he plays, then why are Mays and Sims the only two players on the U High team with offers?

Surely he sees them more than he would most because of his son, but I don't think he'd be foolish to give an offer because.

I love fact we took this kid. Specially I hear he plays against other kids with great talent. I mean I no he isn't scared go against these better guards that Florida and Kentucky are going to always have.... Another reason like he isn't flashy with the dribbling yet but has GREAT change speed on his cross, which is most import thing when juking somebody..... And he he big and might grow!!! Lsu basketball hasn't even begun to start shape up what going b by 2016.

I agree with CrazyLSU that he isnt fine tuned at this point. But who is as a sophomore? I've watched him several times this year. He has the size, brains and potential, but there are moments where he seems lazy or lackadaisical against tough competition.

No doubt he'll be a stud prospect in two years though and a guy all LSU fans are going to want in purple and gold.

Welcome Skylar

8 assists a game as a freshman in high school is legit.

What's the story on flipping Mark Vital possibly, I know he's the top 2016 LA prospect.

I don't think some of the people around Vital are very happy about his commitment to Baylor. His recruitment is far from over.

What about Wade Sims? The kid has been a beast since he was in 7th grade. Now that Skylar committed he's got to be committing soon right? I hope he grows a few more inches though. He seems like a true PF but I dk if he'll be tall enough
