I really like the offer to Lecque. He in 19 but could be an 18 kid. So it allows us to go after Carey with the option of trying to get Lecque to reclassify if necessary later on. If we get Carey which is a strong possibility it doesn't mean we have to stop recruiting Lecque since he is currently 19. Both are much better guard prospects that Ayala IMO although I think he will be a good four year college player somewhere.

Ayala was sort of gifted a wide open guard situation at SU when Green went to UK very late in the game. All he had to do was reclassify and announce for SU. He did reclassify but then let things drag. We meanwhile brought in Washington for insurance, started looking hard at or 18 and 19 guard options, brought in Hughes for 18 and then took Thorpe as a grad transfer. I hope Ayala finds a school he is happy with and does well but its pretty obvious he missed out on an opportunity that is highly unlikely to be presented to him again. A top10 program, HOF coach, history of putting the ball in playmakers hands, immediate playing time and a foot in the door for starting down the line.
