Met his uncle a few weeks ago in Pittsburgh. He was telling me how excited his nephew was to come to LSU and how the family thought that by coming here to play ball he would gain a lot of exposure that he did not get in high school for multiple reasons.

I was more excited to learn that he chose LSU over the Pirates being that his entire family is from Pittsburgh and he had an opportunity to play professionally there. While I know he played high school ball in Florida, his family has roots in Pittsburgh and I imagine this made the decision to come to LSU over the Pirates a little more difficult than most.
