A few days after defeating Fairfield on the court, we lose to them in the recruiting arena. Dan Langdon chooses the Stags, and announces his commitment today.

We get good news from James Standard, however. The 6'10" local product signs with us, becoming the third member of our class. James has Yellow potential, and looks like he could grow into a Blue Collar Man.

I don't see anyone I'm desperate enough to offer on my Call List, so it's time to see if there's anyone out there who is (1) better than a one-star player, (2) not committed to anyone yet, and (3) somewhat interested in playing basketball at Lafayette.

I'm delighted to find one: Taylor LaRose.

I'm going to trust the experts here and offer Taylor a scholarship before we evaluate him. I can see he gets a lot of rebounds, and although he doesn't shoot often, he makes a lot of the shots he does take.

Nobody has offered Taylor a scholarship yet, which surprises me. He might not be what schools like Illinois, Mississippi State, and Vanderbilt want, but all those programs have prestige scores in the 90s. He's almost certainly good enough for us, and then some.

Plus, Taylor attends one of the high schools I added into my game.

It would be fun to have him on my team.
