Ole Miss to go package deal to sign 5-Star hoops player Skal Labissiere?

I reported two weeks ago that I thought Ole Miss was looming as a threat in the Skal Labissiere recruitment. At the time, I was roundly mocked. But yesterday, on the Gary Parrish Show on 92.9 FM ESPN, Gary persuasively laid out the case that Ole Miss coaches have and will continue to make to Labissiere; they're building a new arena, they'll be on TV a ton with the new SEC network, and Labissiere would be the singular star on the team.

It just so happens Kennedy has an extra spot on his staff. It just so happens that spot has been left open throughout the July evaluation period. Is it crazy to think that Kennedy could go to Gerald Hamilton, Labissiere's guardian, or someone else close to him in exchange for his prized recruit? I don't think so.

Hamilton brought Labissiere over to the United States several years ago through his non-profit organization, Reach Your Dream. It would make sense for him to want to stay close to Labissiere for however long he plays in college.

I just heard them discussing this possibility on the radio in Memphis.

This type of thing happens all the damn time in college basketball and I think Kennedy would be crazy to pass this up. I went and watched him play a few times and this kid is going to be special. He's 6'10' with handles and a jumper.
