High-majors offers beginning to come in for Luke Anderson

2019 Lakeland (FL) forward Luke Anderson (left) burst onto the scene in June at the prestigious Nike Elite 100 Camp in St. Louis, Missouri. Following that event alone, the junior began to generate a high-major following.

That following only increased at the end of July when Anderson made the move to the adidas circuit to play with Team Knight. The 6-foot-6 forward caught the eyes of several college coaches while playing at #BOTS. As expected, some scholarship offers followed. 

"I have offers from Iowa State, Kansas State, South Florida, Florida Gulf Coast, North Florida, Old Dominion, Arkansas State, and Florida International," Anderson told HoopSeen.com.

Offers from Iowa State and Kansas State came in the past week. They could be the beginning of a long list of high-major suitors for the do-it-all forward. Anderson broke down both new offers with HoopSeen.com:

Iowa State: "Their fan base is crazy big. They were at almost all my games this summer, too. It's a Big 12 school."

Kansas State: "Kansas State's coaches are pretty chill. They like me a lot. I don't know much about them other than they are in the Big 12 and they are Kansas' rival."

While the initial Power-5 offers are important, it's safe to say they won't be the last ones for Anderson. A long list of suitors are hot on his trail following the conclusion of the travel season.

"Notre Dame, South Carolina, Florida State, Penn, Rice, Samford, Princeton, Dayton, USC, and Central Florida are showing interest," Anderson explained.

Anderson displayed his versatility and skill-set at the Elite 100. He always was in the right place at the right time and did a nice job of showcasing his basketball IQ. Capable of scoring, shooting, rebounding, defending, and handling the basketball, Anderson made his case as a viable five-tool player. He was one of the top performers from the wing position, too. 

As the high school season gets closer, keep an eye on Anderson in the Sunshine State - he's a glue guy that will make a difference at the next level.
