Landry-Walker Basketball questions

[BiscuitEater]

Just noticed that new 2017 4* QB commit, Keytaon Thompson plays PF on the same HS BB team as 4* PG Lamar Peters. Also noticed that MSU BB had also offered another PF on the same team .. Cameron Lard.

Best I can tell, Cameron (4* PF) had an offer from Howland .. + offers from LSU, Cincy, & Iowa State & others. He committed to Iowa State BUT chose not to sign in the early period.

He has not played for Landry-Walker this year and I can't tell if it's because of transfer or grade issues.

Questions .. Only piece missing for next years class is a PF. Any chance he flips to State? Seeing that he will now have 2 team members in Starkville?

Also, is State still interested? Or, are there higher PFs we are looking at?

Thanks

Lard committed to Iowa State and as of November 23 has not been cleared by the LHSAA to play for Landry-Walker.

This according to Rod Walker's (yep, he used to cover HS sports for the Clarion-Ledger) article in the New Orleans Advocate: Link

Rumor was that we cooled on him... We do need to add an aditional pf in the class though IMO

I used to be the JV basketball coach at Brother Martin High School in New Orleans...and we played against Landry-Walker and I still follow the high school football/basketball scene in the New Orleans area. Thompson is a good kid. Peters too...Lard is a good athlete. However, I'll just leave this right here. This scared me a bit...and brought me back to the Renardo days...

I would much rather encourage ndoye to leave and sign lard esp if Newman is leaving. If Newman is staying, I'd encourage ndoye to leave and pursue best available transfer
