Anderson remains wide open
St. Louis (Mo.) Christian Brothers three-star athlete Lamar Anderson had a huge senior season opener on Saturday. Afterward he updated where his recruitment stands.
The 5-foot-10, 185-pound Anderson holds offers from all levels of Division I. His only power five offer at this time is from the Kansas Jayhawks.

"I am still talking to them," Anderson confirmed. "We just talk about how things are going and they are going to come to my games. I haven't set up a visit yet, but they will (receive) an official visit."
The only other school Anderson is sure at this point will receive an official visit is Western Michigan. There is a lot of recruiting still to be done, though, before he makes his college selection.
"I am still looking at everything," he said. "I have been trying to take things one at a time and worry about the season right now."
In Saturday's game Anderson scored two receiving touchdowns, he recovered a fumble and registered a pass break-up in just one half of play. His early season performances could generate additional scholarship offers.
"Other schools are looking me outside of those that have offered me," Anderson said. "Those that are pretty heavy right now are probably Wisconsin. They want to see my first three games, see how did in them. And I've talked to K-State and Mizzou and Indiana."."
Missouri is one school that projects Anderson as a cornerback. Other schools see him at safety or even on offense.
"I'd rather have the coaches put me somewhere," Anderson said. "Safety, corner, receiver, even running back - wherever I go I just know I'm going to do my best."
A three-star prospect, Anderson came into the season ranked as the No. 13 prospect in the state of Missouri. He and his Christian Brother College teammates are looking to repeat on their 2014 Class 6 state title and started strong with a 66-7 win on Saturday.
"I just wanted to come out as a team and prove to the state we can do it again," Anderson said. "We practice so hard this summer to get back to where we are. But we're not worried about what we did… we're trying to do something else."
