Looking at that offer list you figure he would at least be a top 150 player

And indeed he may be, Nut -- the services just haven't figured it out yet.

I wonder how many of those schools jumped at him after Wichita State reportedly offered? I think our reputation is such that more and more schools will be paying attention to our recruiting as long as 3G is in charge. Of course, K State isn't listed so maybe we are just now getting on the bandwagon ourselves.

KState was one of the first four schools to show interest in him per his video interview in scout last spring...

Originally weighed in at 297 last year. Was down to 254 during last season.

According to tweets of the last couple of days, new offers for Layssard are Oklahoma, Providence and Texas Tech.

A visit set for SMU is the only one scheduled, and it could be the last. However WSU is one of the other schools working on him the hardest.
