Pokey does have one commit thus far for 2007. Katherine Graham, a 5-11 guard out of Birmingham, has given Pokey a verbal. Additionally, Top Ten recruit Khadijah Rushdan, a 5-10 pg out of Delaware, has removed LSU from her top considerations and is looking at Rutgers or Maryland. LOI time is up and coming and LSU is still in the running for: 6'5" C Jantel Lavender, OH, a top 5 recruit 6'4" F Vicki Baugh, CA, a top 10 recruit. 6'0" G Tyra White, MO, a top 25 recruit, 6'3" F Christina Nzweke, WA, a top 30 recruit Plus who knows who else...
Pokey gets another verbal for 2007. 4 star recruit LaTear Eason out of Chicago. http://chicagosports.chicagotribune...331498.story?coll=cs-hs-girlsbasketball-print LaTear's Scout site: http://scout.scout.com/a.z?s=209&p=8&c=1&nid=2517669 In other news: Christina Nzweke verbals to UCLA.
Well, right now, next year's roster looks like this: Sr. C Sylvia Fowles Sr. C Mesha Williams Sr. G Katie Antony Sr. G RaShanta LaBlanc Sr. G Erica White Sr. G Khalilah Mitchell Sr. G Marian Whitfield Sr. F Ashley Thomas Sr. G Quianna Chaney Jr. F Kristen Morris So. F Porsha Phillips So. G Alison Hightower Fr. G LaTear Eason Fr. G Katherine Graham There's one schollie left and I would say the best bet is for Vicki Baugh. She has a visit planned and is taking her decision down to the wire. I think Lavender is a big stretch and Grant is another guard. If not Baugh, a JC post player. I suspect after the HUGE senior class leaves, Pokey will fill the ranks with an equal distribution of JC kids and high school recruits. If she gets Baugh, she will have considerable talent with Morris, Phillips, Hightower, Eason and Graham. Again, if she gets April Sykes to come to Baton Rouge in 2008, that kid will start right away.
Article on Pokey's commits thus far. Also, Vicki Baugh was on campus this weekend. LSU is still very much in the running for her along with Tennessee and Oklahoma. http://www.2theadvocate.com/sports/lsu/4510411.html
So far, LSU has only confirmed that LaTear Eason has singed her LOI. NO word on White from the Hoopgurlz site or from the Texas Tech site. No word on Gratham either.
