And an official visit is generally a good indicator of interest on behalf of both parties.

A commitment is the bestest of all! Seriously does anyone know where we stand as far as available officials. It seems like we used them all up a few years back.

Wow, Hooks dropped 50 last year at Pangos (didn't know they held it last summer):
Wasn't too long ago that we couldn't even get a sniff from an Indiana kid.

Loved that song
How the NCAA hasn't come down on him is beyond me. Has to be one of the most glaring violations I can remember. It's not like he is Cal and LSU basketball isn't some blue blood that is untouchable. As long as they aren't touching LSU football no one will care.

Right, but look at UNC. Their academic scandal was beyond the pale. At least Sean Miller fell. But, yeah, the NCAA is a joke.
Yes. Huge visit for the staff !! Time to see what Chester can do.
Epps, Cohran, with Bass and getting Storr back on board or Shutt would be a great class.

Yea the UNC thing makes my blood boil to this day. They got off on a loophole though because the fake classes weren't just for athletes. I know some people that had ties to UNC during the scandal and they were somewhat concerned about losing accreditation. Everyone on a board like this is a rabid sports fan but the possibility of losing accreditation is a much bigger deal to the school as a whole. Obviously nothing came of it because the board of accreditation didn't have it in them to make an example of a school that large with that many donors.
Think it's more of an Epps or Storr situation. Don't think both come. IMG and LSU have a very strong relationship...

Need to take a bit of a grain of salt on the states the kids are listed from with all the prep schools. For instance Omaha Biliew is listed as FL for Montverde but is from Iowa, Gus Yalden is listed as FL for IMG but is from Wisconsin.
They do that because there is no income (from Monteverde/IMG) tax if they are listed as FL residents on recruiting websites.
They $ure do

Lebron Jr on this list. Lord help whoever he picks in that recruitment. I imagine having Lebron in your ear about his kid is going to be like having a Ball brother but 10x worseUpdated Top 150 2023 Rivals

Why? Nothing about LeBron James seems remotely similar to LaVar Ball.
