re: 2020 Prospect Jalen Cook picks up LSU offer
Posted by CoachC13 on 5/11/18 at 10:03 am to airfernando
No, Philly fan is right, but it’s nothing new. Jalen Cook is 6’0 tall, and there is only one starting point guard 6’0 tall in the NBA (CP3). PGs are getting taller in the nba, with most being somewhere between 6’3-6’4.

I’ll be honest, I don’t think that Brian Thomas ever gets an LSU offer. I don’t think that he will wind up being a top 150 nation player, unless he winds up 6’8+. I think that he is going to be a mid major player, and has a chance to be a really good one, but I don’t think he winds up at the level LSU is currently recruiting
If I’m being honest, I doubt if Reece ever ends up getting an LSU offer. The 2020 PG class in Louisiana is just too deep, and he isn’t quite at the level LSU is recruiting at. Odds are he is either the 4th or 5th best PG in Louisiana for the 2020 class. Now that Javonte is gone, there is a possibility that he takes a big step forward as primary ball handler, and gets better, but I don’t expect LSU to offer any time soon.
I saw him play love earlier this year. The 50” vertical isn’t exaggeration. I’ve seen a ton of super athletic kids, but I’ve never seen something like that. He can finish dunks looking down into the rim. I saw him pregame throw an alley oop to himself, catch it at his feet, and finish with a windmill looking into the rim. Highest vertical I’ve ever seen.
The staff seems pretty confident that they are going to be bringing in a 5* “top 20 in the country” big man for the 2019 class, plus at least one more elite guard. From my limited experience with him, Coach Wade is planning on bringing in a top 10 national class every year while he is here. I would be very surprised if we don’t have at least one five star per recruiting class for as long as he is here.

I don’t think that he ever gets an offer, unless the staff strikes out on 3-4 other guys, but a name to keep an eye on is Dexter Dennis. Originally from Baton Rouge, he spent his HS years at Southern Lab and Baker his senior year. He has spent a post grad year this year at Believe Prep, and has gotten a lot better. He was always an athletic marvel, but he has tightened up his handle and improved to be able to play on the wing at the next level. The staff is at least taking a look at him, especially after picking up offers to Witchita St. and Georgia Tech last week.
re: 2019 LSU b-ball recruit class

He's a lot closer to 6'3 than he is to 6'1. When he was going up against Jared Butler a few weeks ago, they were eye to eye, and Mylik might have been a half inch taller. He has elite shooting, athleticism, and can be the best defender in the state for his class.
Will Wade has said he is putting a premium on recruiting the best of best in state, so I would be very surprised if they don't offer him this summer. I think that Mylik is going to have a huge summer and make an even bigger jump than Jared Butler made last summer. I think Mylik winds up 50-60 nationally.

He's closer to 6'3-6'3 1/2. During their game between Rayville and Riverside, he was the same height as Jared Butler maybe a bit taller, and Jared is listed at 6'3. He is also an absolutely lock down defender. When Mylik was guarding Butler, Butler had trouble just getting the ball past half court.
re: So, do the BB dismissals free up any schollies for next year?

One of the guys I know the coaching staff has been out to see a couple of times in the JUCO ranks is Marlon Taylor at Panola. He's a versatilve 6'6 that can play 2-4. He has a 50 inch vertical, and is one of the most athletic players I have ever seen. Not incredibly skilled, but can knock down the 3 at a consistent level. He has an offer to Xavier, but I think that the staff is definitely going to be offering soon with the loss of Alexander
2019 is definitly down. The only player that LSU is looking at in state is Mylik Wilson at Rayville. 6'3 off guard super athletic. Had a phenomenal summer last year, so I'm really surprised that he doesn't have more national recognition.
For 2020, the top three players are all going to be high major players.
Jalen Cook is super talented and is going to end up as probably a top 40 player in the country by his senior year. He played up in AAU last season and was the best player on the best 16u team in the state.
Chanse Robinson plays for Lincoln Prep (Grambling) and is like a mini Russell Westbrook. He is averaging 25 ppg 12 rpg and 4 apg all at only 6'0 and as a sophomore.
Dante Bell goes to Bossier, and at 6'7 reminds me of a young Robert Williams, who is apparently his cousin. Really long and athletic and can block shots and rebound as well as any young kid in the country.
