You could say the same thing about LSU. We've got a top 10 recruiting class coming in. Kentucky will still rape us and Florida if they land this kid.

Damn, that dude has some ups. I like when he blocks the layup then grabs the ball, dribbles up and hits the 40 footer at the buzzer.

6'7"?
seems undersized to play wing. If he has some ball handling skills maybe a combo 2/3 SF. He needs about 2" and 30lbs.

Although KG still looks about 150lbs

LSU has no one in their recruiting class nearly as good as Kasey Hill and Chris Walker as instant impact players. And Florida could potentially be returning guys that are playing dominating basketball right now in Scottie Wilbekin, Will Yeugette, and Patric Young, while LSU returns guys on a team that will struggle to make the NIT this year.

You don't have to be 6'9'' 240 to be a 3

First off, he's 17 years old. He might not be finished growing.
Second, 6'7" is plenty tall enough to play the 3. He'll probably be a 2 anyway, where his height would actually be a mismatch on other shooting guards.

KG is a 4/5.

long arms and being a quick jumper will make up for those 2 inches in a hurry

its really just about getting to the highest point as quick as possible and he does that with the explosive jumping and long arms

height can play into that but it isnt everything

Would love to have him on that roster next season. We'll be alright without him but we might be damn near unstoppable with him.

This kid is a premier athlete with a great jumper for a high school kid with his size and athleticism.

Probably one of the best prospects in the last 5 years.

Doubt Young comes back. Wilbekin and Yeugette are nice role players. LSU will return the whole team, sick burn though.

He's good but I still think Parker is better. Also isn't it an FSU vs UK battle?
