2013 PF Set to Make Decision

     Schuyler Rimmer was one of the most sought after recruits in the class of 2013. Rimmer is a talented big man, one that many schools were looking for. After committing to Florida, Rimmer decided to decommit and see what else was out there. He ended up with a final four of Virginia, Southern Cal, Vanderbilt, and Stanford. Rimmer narrowed his list from about 20 offers.
     Rimmer took his last official visit over the weekend. He enjoyed his visit to Vanderbilt, stating that he liked the coaches, players, campus, and the city of Nashville. Rimmer plans to decide Thursday.

Coach Reggie Tucker: Thank you for all you have done keeping me and others updated with Schuyler's recruitment. I'm glad you have added more high major players for next year so I get to deal with you another year.

2014 PF Visits Two Louisiana Schools

     Rob Marberry, a 2014 prospect from Franklin, Tennessee, took unofficial visits to LSU and Tulane in the last couple of days. When asked what he liked about LSU, the 6'7 power forward responded "LSU had such a great campus and the facilities were really nice. I was impressed with the weight room too." LSU has not offered Marberry. When asked about Tulane, Marberry stated "At Tulane, they just got a new practice facility that was really great and the coaching staff was nice." One thing that Marberry liked about both schools was the weather. He said the weather promotes "college life." LSU is not the only SEC school interested in Marberry, Vanderbilt and Georgia have also shown interest.

I've attended didn't go the way I wanted due to injuries, coach
resigning (Oak Ridge Military Academy), transfer issues (bon-a-fide move
paper work at Holmes County), but in a way it made me stronger
mentally. Although I lost almost 2 years of playing , I now realize
what I have to do and to always keep my head up and no matter what the
circumstance. Trust God always! I'm in a good place now with a great
coach and great teammates. Everything happens for a reason I know for
sure I am where I am supposed to be now.
