New Basketball Commitment

BASKETBALL RECRUITING

LSU received a commitment from Jackson, MS point guard Andre Stringer who chose LSU after strongly considering Alabama and USC.  Stringer is short in stature at just 5'9" 170 pounds but is a very good shooter and has good ball skills.   Rivals.com rates Stringer as a 4-star player and as the #93 player in the nation.  ESPN ranks Stringer as the nation's #76 player.   He should be the favorite to take over for Bo Spencer when he arrives for the 2010 / 2011 season. 

Stringer probably completes a 2010 signing class that has turned out to be very solid.  The class doesn't contain a sure-fire superstar, but it's very solid.  Joining Stringer are power forward Jalen Courtney, wing player Matt Derenbecker, and shooting guard Ralston Turner.  ESPN ranks LSU's class 10th in the nation.
