It’s offical. Marlon Taylor commits to LSU. Can’t say I didn’t tell you.

Another piece to the puzzle!

I’m as impressed by his shooting percentages as I am by his leaping ability and athleticism.

I love guys that can put the damn ball in the basket from FT line.

44% from 3 is just stupid.

If he embraces the Will Wade offseason, I could really see Taylor starting at SF. Excellent athlete, shoots the three very well, tough on the glass, just needs to show he's tough on defense in general.

There's a kid coming in the 2019 class that is amazing athletically and excellent basketball skills. I know he is interested in LSU, but I don't know much else regarding who he may be leaning towards or how far up his list LSU is. But, I will say this, if Wade can get this guy on campus for one season, I will come as close to calling Wade a recruiting god as I can without being blasphemous. Cassius Stanley is the type player that will be the difference between a loss and a win in many games. The number and talent level of players coming out of high school this year and next is mind-boggling. It is absolutely mind-boggling the interest Wade and LSU are getting from some of the highest rated players from across the US. I mean, right now, Wade has no accomplishments at LSU to speak of that could sell a kid on playing at LSU. Right now Wade and his staff are selling themselves to these kids. Imagine what recruiting will be like when they do have team accomplishment to go with selling their selves. A player like Stanley, geez, he will light up the scoreboard ala Pistol Pete and CJ. I just hope some of these players coming in next season will stay more than one season.

How do you know he is even "interested" in LSU? You read something? Connections?

Good...I never get overly excited until the ink has dried.

Thanks for the update.

Thanks. Tired and had a brain freeze. I was confusing him with Emmitt Mathews.

No connections. Just information on recruiting sites like 247 and espn basketball recruiting. Stanley has several schools listed he is interested in and LSU happens to be one of them. Here's a link to one of the sites.

I know he has interest in LSU, or at least according to these sites, just don't know how serious he is in attending LSU. But just the fact a 5 star basketball player from out of state has any interest in LSU at all is very promising and says a lot about Will Wade and the job he is doing at LSU.
