LAKER STORYLINES* The roster is lined with talented prospects but Jalen Coleman will lead the charge for La Lumiere. The Illinois-bound senior guard – ranked No. 34 in the
2015 247Sports Composite – can score in bunches.
* Expect big things from Humphries. The 7-foot Australian had a 41-point, 19-rebound game over the summer at the FIBA U17 World Championship against Canada. In addition to Australia, La Lumiere's roster features players from Canada, China and Venezuela.
* Heirman likens newcomer Plummer to former La Lumiere swingman Sam Logwood – now a freshman at New Mexico.
