It's interesting that we're apparently in so hard on a 3-star PG. Perhaps KO is consciously pursuing a guy who 1) will willingly play a minimal role his first couple of years, and 2) will almost certainly stay all four years. NPL might be the type of 7th or 8th man who can help make a good team great, and whose constant presence would allow KO to go after one-and-done PGs in future classes without risking roster stability.
Or -- more likely -- KO simply rates the kid higher than the recruiting services do.

I would hope you aren't going to throw fish at him. That seems rather unnecessary.

Here's a link to a Scout article from a few months back:
Pierre-Louis continues to add interest
Slow & low left-handed delivery, but his form is good. Also clearly considers himself a combo guard and talks about how he needs to work to improve his PG skills. Doesn't look like an explosive athlete, but isn't a slouch, either.
The biggest thing to note? We're recruiting two of his HS teammates. One is Andre Rafus, a 6-foot-9 SF/PF whose game seems a little DeAndre-esque. He's a consensus 4-star player, generally ranked from 70-90 or so in the Class of 2017.
The other is Nazreon Reid, a 6-foot-9 220 lb PF who's a top 5 player in the class of 2018. He came to first night (with NPL) back in 2014, and we're still in the mix (though Kansas and UK are presumed leaders).
Maybe KO's playing the long game here...
