re: LSU will sign Malik Newman (Book it)

@LilJoeBHall: CBS's @JonRothstein says it's down to Kentucky vs Mississippi State for Malik Newman, with LSU a distant 3rd LINK
3. Malik Newman is the wild card in the Class of 2015: The 6-3 combo guard scores 18-20 points when he gets out of bed in the morning and his commitment will no doubt shift the landscape of college basketball in one way or another heading into next season. Sources have told CBSSports.com that the three schools most likely to wind up with Newman are Kentucky, Mississippi State and LSU, but the Tigers right now are a distant third due to a surplus of pieces on the perimeter. That means that barring something unlikely, Newman appears to either be headed to Lexington or Starkville. It also means he will potentially play for one of two coaches who faced each other in the 2008 Final Four --- John Calipari and Ben Howland --- when each was at Memphis and UCLA respectively. If Newman picks the Wildcats, the reasons are obvious. Lexington has again become college basketball's version of Camelot under Calipari and the pairing of Newman alongside Tyler Ulis and incoming freshman Isaiah Briscoe would instantly give Kentucky one of college basketball's most devastating perimeters. Calipari has publicly said that he still needs to add two to three quality players this spring and the addition of Newman would certainly put some serious air in the Wildcats' tires heading into next season. One thing to keep in mind though: Newman has also told confidants that he aspires to have the ball in his hands next season as much as possible and he would have to sacrifice that just like other great players have in the past if he chooses to go to Kentucky. If he opts to go to Mississippi State, he would own Starkville and give the Bulldogs a palpable buzz in Howland's first season as a head coach in the SEC. It's going to be real interesting to see how all of this evolves over the next few weeks.

Interesting. Never know how much truth there is in those rumors, but Rothstein is pretty reputable.
I'd personally be fine not having Newman. Incredible player and would be a great get, but I'm very comfortable with the depth, experience and talent that we currently have with Hornsby, Quarterman, Patterson, Gray and Blakeney. Thats arguably the best backcourt LSU has had in a long, long time.

Wow. Never thought I'd see a recruit choose Kentucky over us with the reason being our excessive depth.

In another thread I mentioned I was at the boo Williams eybl last weekend and had an AAU coach tell me I would be shocked at who msu would sign along with Newman. Less than 5 minutes later, this coach is hugging calapari. That spoke volumes to me about what that AAU guy knows on the inside.

But if he was leaning towards LSU he would be Lebron v2.0. Am I right?

ROFL at that ridiculous post. 
As I imputed, three days ago, Mailk Newman will wear the purple and gold; he will be a TIGER. BOOK IT! You all will see next week. I guarantee it.

Lebron isn't 6'3 bitchboy. He would be Westbrook 2.0

LSU is also in the mix and both LSU-bound Antonio Blakeney (who is here) and Ben Simmons (who is not) are recruiting Newman hard.
“[They talk about] the things that we can do, how we can be the face of the SEC and the face of LSU and how we can just go there and contend for a national championship,” he said.
How good could they all be together considering the 6-10 Simmons is the projected No. 3 pick in 2016 by DraftExpress.com and Newman is No. 4.
“I think we can be phenomenal together with my scoring ability, Antonio’s scoring ability, with Ben’s versatility to play the 1 through 4, I think it will be something special to watch,” he said.

Freudian slip?
Not "could be" or "would be" but "will be".

The services have said Brown and Newman are not going to the same place - two alpha dogs.

Anyone "booking" anything, in regards to Malik, is FoS.

How does he know if he is real???? I imagine the fact that he woke up this morning tells him that he's real.
Maybe you meant: "tell us how you know, if you are real." The comma makes your sentence mean something different.
