09:13 AM ET 07.31 | When Ricardo Gathers, the star recruit who gave St. John's a verbal commitment yesterday, was told his AAU coach described him as a cross between Karl Malone and Charles Barkley, he was humbled. Gathers, from Riverside Academy in LaPlace, La., chose the Red Storm over a bunch of heavy hitters including Baylor, Cal, Syracuse, Texas and home town LSU.

I'll get excited when the prized recruits stay longer than 1.5 semesters.

.5 is giving them a little extra!

They need to let 'em go straight to the NBA...this is a sham.

Yeah, but it's only bkball.

LaPlace, LA---the new home for LSU. Damn, I need to keep up. Didn't know LSU moved.

I reckon they meant home state LSU

It's Sunday, only two low interest threads. Not much to say on either one.
