Hands-down the most interesting/comical recruitment of the year. He was ready to give his verbal commitment to Providence today but some of his peeps dont like his decision and want him to go to Syracuse. After attending 4 h.s. in 4 years, he must have a lot of people in his ear. Im guessing he still ends up at Prov and the third time will be the charm.

This kid strikes me as a "million-dollar talent, nickel brain" type. Maybe he'll straighten up his act, but he really seems to just not get it. Seems like more trouble than he's worth.
From what I have gathered, Ledo and his camp are the one's who are recruiting coaches to extend an offer instead of the other way around like all other kids. Providence needs to build and Ledo is a step. He's Josh Selby, Part II. And who knows, Nerlens Noel might re-classify down to '12 like Drummond did to '11 and Ledo and Noel are good friends. Seems to good to be true to have that much talent on one Providence roster.
I thought this was a Boz Scaggs thread.
one more for the road
shuffle...
Ledo has recommitted to Providence.

We'll see how long that lasts.
