I think tomorrow is the last day of the early signing period.  Wonder if he will sign?

Lincoln Park Guard LA Pratt Commits to Duquesne - Pittsburgh Sports Now

This one doesn't jump off the page at me because there is so little info about what other programs are/were after him.

I too like the concept of a taller lead guard that likes to playmake & defend. I also want there to be a series of local players that play a significant
role in taking the program to new heights. That would go a long way toward fattening the fan base. The question is, will this signing move the needle?

Maybe he will have an incredible senior season forcing competitor schools that overlooked him to wallow in jealousy & regret.

Pratt certainly looks like he has a lot of upside.  He is now 6'5" and as the PSN article reported he is still growing.  No offence to this kid, I would just prefer for DU to recruit out of the portal.  For one thing the risk of turnover is reduced, and you have a higher percentage of knowing what you are getting.

Capable lead guards in the A-10 over 6'5" are no common occurrence.

It was actually in a PG Article, not PSN. Mike White follows HS Basketball, and knows this kid's skills and potential as well as anyone.If he grows and bulks up he could be a real steal.
