I can verify Elbert did in fact visit LSU this weekend. Saw him on the corner of Canal and Bourbon Street. If I wasnt already a few hurricanes in I might have placed him in time to make a recruiting pitch. I actually thought he was Noah Dickerson at first. I always thought LSU was in Baton Rouge.

Have you ever been to baton Rouge on a non-football weekend? I would make sure to get all of my recruits down to New Orleans as soon as I could!

I know Zimmerman is one of the kids he sheds at the 32 second mark for an offensive rebound put back but is the other kid Diallo? Either way Elbert is very impressive on the offensive glass!! Now that I feel really good about the staff's chances with Bentil, I'm warming up to Elbert again.. haha.. A class of Campbell, Copeland, Peak, Bentil & Elbert.. Whoa..

Boy, do we need some size, skill, and toughness! No disrespect to our current line up, but I think mental toughness and athleticism still are the keys to winning championships.

I've seen Zimm play a few times on tv and while I know aau isn't the best for bigs, but he doesn't dominate like he's perceived to do. He's definitely long and has touch, but he has no physicality, which get's him pushed around. I'd take EB all day.

With SMU picking up a verbal from a top 5 overall player, wonder how that affects ERobinson? Word was Brown had turned up the heat on him.

Not sure. I guess we'll see. I bet he visits them.

With SMU picking up a verbal from a top 5 overall player, wonder how that affects ERobinson? Word was Brown had turned up the heat on him. smu.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1538677One of the center's many offers is from hometown SMU, who has been in contact with Robinson earlier this summer. "I have great interest in SMU. Larry Brown is a great coach and he has developed a lot of NBA pros. It'd be a great opportunity to play for a coach like that. Robinson has been talking to the SMU staff regularly. I talk with the staff a lot, they're real cool. We talk all the time about the school, Coach Brown's history with big men and stuff like that."
The Lakeview Centennial Patriot has already seen the SMU campus and facilities as he attended a Mustang game at the old Moody Coliseum last season.It puzzles me why Elbert is taking these unofficial visits to LSU & TCU but hasn't nailed down some visit dates to schools he's been talking about for months. Back in june he had a loose top 5 of G'town, L'ville, Kansas, OSU & OK State. By far G'town has been the most diligent/consistent recruiter of Elbert. Now that some of those schools have prioritized other kids you'd hope he would shrink his list not expand it or at the very least nail down a date to visit G'town again while he figures out where he stands with his other favorites. Is G'town a fall back school is his mind? Makes you wonder..

So how long until SMU is given another death penalty? Can't believe they beat out Kentucky for Kentucky's #1 PG recruit. This is not good, I would not be surprised to see SMU land Elbert now. If they can beat Kentucky head to head, they can certainly beat us.

He's definitely long and has touch, but he has no physicality, which get's him pushed around. I'd take EB all day. I saw the one where he played on Isaac C's team and they look very comfortable with each other. He went after it on offense, but wasn't challenged that much. Overall, good offensive moves for such a big kid.

These unofficial visits to SEC and other southern schools ( sorry ID ) sounds suspicious to me. Makes you wonder who is whispering in his ear. Hope I'm off base.

When it comes to recruiting, its impossible to account for all the factors that play into making a decision. While I'd be thrilled if ER committed to the Hoyas, by no means am I counting on it. In the end, I just hope that ER recognizes that (1) when teamed up with Whittington, LJP, DSR, Copeland, Tre, etc....he has a chance to get the Final Four and beyond; (2) he'd have the best shot at developing into a big time center at Georgetown; (3) that he'd be at the best institution. From all I hear, he is a smart kid and will make an informed decision.....hoping that translates to him being a Hoya.

If they can beat Kentucky head to head, they can certainly beat us. This. Larry Brown beating Calishadi at his own game. Of course, it was probably Larry Brown's game first.
