But he is the subject of a new article and interview:

"L.A. Pomlee spent his entire season last year with a blood clot and watched his Davenport (IA) Central Blue Devils from the stands.
The University of Illinois is trying to tap into unfamiliar territory and take one of Iowa’s finest basketball players in the Class of 2008. Historically, it’s been a given that any Iowa star basketball player will end up playing for the Hawkeyes or the Iowa State Cyclones. Pomlee lists one of the two. “I want to play for either Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa State, Indiana,
Bradley or West Virginia. None of them have offered me yet, but I think the all want to see me play because I wasn’t able to last year,” Pomlee said.
L.A. stands 6-7 and is listed here at Scout.com as a three-star recruit and the nation’s 34th best power forward in his class. Pomlee’s stock, I’m sure, would be a lot higher had it not been for his season-ending injury.
“I want to get things in order so I can set up some visits. I want to take one to Illinois, but it’s just finding the right time for all this to work out. I will talk to Coach Weber and let him know that I want to come down there. He would be a great guy to play for,” Pomlee said.
Recent reports indicate that the Cyclones may lead for his services, but at this time Pomlee states he has no leader."

L A Pomlee

If it is true we haven't offered, I would be disappointed. Unless he has grade problems, I would think he would be worth the risk. It sounded like if he played his Junior year he would be very highly ranked. He and the kid from Conn are the most highly ranked kids we are still in on. I know rankings aren't everything, but a kid his size could still be a dominant player in the valley. I've been hoping for an update on him, I had no idea we hadn't offered yet.
