Thanks, MGreen. Yeah, I've been a little slow on the uptake. Been frankly, hoping to see good news before launching into another posting frenzy.
That said, from a 2012 standpoint, LSU is still in on a lot of names, just wondering when the first domino will fall. There are a lot of naysayers sort of down on Trent, but I think if kids kind of cut through some of the "noise", they'll still see a coach that is COY in three different leagues, won a SEC C, and whose sent what about a couple of handfuls of kids to the NBA. He's a respected guy, by coaches in the know, even if he's not a favorite right now of LSU board chatterers. LSU is still the flagship school, and well, there's going to be opportunity there for kids who love their state. That said, there is definitely a lot riding on the decisions of the "key" recruits in LA in years to come. Gathers, Bridgewater (2013), Craig Victor (2014), are those key guys. Then, there are those kids like Felix, Martin, Troy Jones, right there supporting them. We can't land 'em all, and yet, we have to land some.
In 2012, there is a certain amount of wait and see, I think. But, you could envision a decent class with alot of the names LSU is talking to. J-Michael Reese (TX), Shaq Cleare (TX), Gathers, Devonte Pollard (MS), Robert Upshaw (CA). As always, its a matter of how some dominos fall. One top kid, pulling along a few other top kids, is key.
I'll also say, that alot of kids have the links through the AAU scene. Bridgewater and Reese play together on the Houston Hoops team. Don't tell me there isn't some good will that has to be earned through Brandon Bass's Elite team... Just got to keep out there and keep plugging and keep hope alive. :yelwink2::geauxtige
