2012 SG AJ Astroth visited ODU last weekn. Had in home visit with George Mason, UCF n Lasalle . Colorado n Stanford were in today .

Not a lot on Astroth right now. The offer list comes from this article. He averaged 21 ppg as a HS senior last year at wharton HS and is the school's all-time leading scorer. Going to Faith Baptitst Prep for a year now.

He has a 2011 profile from Scout: http://colorado.scout.com/a.z?s=148&p=8&c=1&nid=4641644

Also from 2011, he was one of the Florida nominees for the McDonald's All-American Game (long list): http://www.swflhoops.com/blog.html?entry=2011-mcdonalds-all-american-game

I think we're probably looking at a guy who just needed to get qualified and was under-recruited last year. Possibility that there was an injury or incident, too, because I can't find highlights from last season. Below is from '08-'09.
