Nice LA Pratt highlight reel during his Northeastern time - includes him blowing by Brooks on a drive.

Do you think his initials stand for Los Angeles? Like the city?

The beauty of AI. Apparently it means whatever Mr Pratt wants it to mean. For this article it meant "Love Always".

I dig it. We haven't had a love-inspired moniker for a player since Jitim Young (whose name was inspired by the phrase Je'taime, "I love you" in French.)
