From the looks of things on his snapchat he really liked LSU, but he did that with every school.

I am thinking he will an Illini:shield:

I'm 80-90% sure, but should hear something on the 20th.

Surprised how nice the facilities and living quarters are at LSU. He's definitely loving it down there. I've gone from 50-50 to about 80% sure he won't pick ILL, but I'm never confident about anybody so you can probably ignore that.

Alstork just tweeted excitedly about his upcoming visit to L-ville as well. He made sure to hashtag that it was an unofficial.

If we are still desperate after their bowl game (*cough*) Andrew Trainer (6'7" 245 RS-FR), and Jordan Fagan (6'6" 300 SR) both have basketball backgrounds.

Why would we want football players marginally taller than say Aaron Jordan?

I think the answer is in the OP assumptions, if we are "desperate for a big."

AJ isn't a big & as it stands today we have 2 potentials to cover a 5 & one of them is 6'7" (the same size you are dismissing), looking at the 245# & 300# puts them in a different category than AJ as far as position.

Are we that desperate yet, maybe not. But jump back a couple years when we started with 5 bigs & finished the season with 2, if we aren't there yet, we are pretty close.

Just don't see Underwood adding guys to the roster in the middle of the season that are not D1 caliber basketball players. Seems more likely he will go small, which he has done before.

Maybe not, but it's like a walk on, just because he is on the roster doesn't mean he will play & it isn't a scholarship. Undoubtedly, playing small will be the first option, but you have seen teams do this in a jam in the past

Kendrick Foster made the announcement he was leaving and came back to the University. I was trying to draw that parallel.
Ahh, got it. However, one difference is I believe Kendrick made known he was leaving while Cubit was coach and then changed his mind when Lovie came on board. DJW's decision seemed to be one that was made or confirmed with just Underwood.

I was impressed with their facilities as well. Definitely nicer than I thought they would be for them being a football school.
