Hasn't one of them already committed for 2015? I know signing period isn't until October, but one is in the bag at least.

He hasn't signed anything yet. Recruits decommit all the time. I'd also like to see what Iverson can do. He basically was an incomplete last season.

Hope Iverson doesn't see Lawson as a threat, or vice versa.

I've listened to him just enough to know he's smart, tries to be really cool, and is sometimes borderline silly instead. He says things to get reactions without a lot of accountability. He's very pro-Grizz, but he seems to feel like it's his duty to always play Devil's Advocate with the Tigers.

At the end of the day, it seems his priority is to be relevant by controversy.

You must have missed his show today because he was killing the Grizzlies.

Competition versus threat.

I hope Iverson does see Lawson as competition and decides to bust his ass during the off season to get better. I hope Lawson realizes, there are good players everywhere, so if I want to make a bunch of money playing basketball, I need to bust my ass to get better. Because the guys that will make it already are busting their ass.

By the time Lawson gets here (2015) Iverson will have either solidified himself into a valuable starter on this team, or he'll have transferred out. I don't see him going into his junior year with his minutes still at issue.

How will Lawson's decision hinge (if at all) if KI becomes a baller. They play the same position, yes?

Wrong position.

Hopefully it won't affect Lawson at all. He plays behind Iverson for a year, going against him in practice, then is ready to start his sophomore year when his brother dresses out.
