Speaking of Shady Recruiting

Speaking of Shady Recruiting
« on: January 20, 2015, 04:14:24 PM »
Just read that LSU of all schools has a signed LOI from the #1 high school player in the world Ben Simmons. 

Ben Simmons is regarded by some as the best prospect since Lebron. 

He's an Australian player though.  And for some reason, he is going to play at LSU instead of Kentucky, Kansas, or Duke. 

His godfather is an assistant coach at LSU. 

I just don't see why he would sign there.  Basketball is different than football in recruiting when it comes to the top players.  Top players sign with schools that put them in the NBA.  LSU is not a guaranteed NBA school like Kentucky.

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.' That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.'

Probably signed on as business partner with a car dealership.  Cars are built and sold in Indonesia for $200k a piece.
