The fig looks a lot like LSU Tiger (picture experience only so far) but not at all like my O'Rourke. My O'Rourke is a little slimmer, not as plump appearing

Since there is no Fantasia fig from LSU, who knows what it is?

I just called them they didnt know what i was referring to. And told me to call vack in spring. Its a sales ploy to get you to buy a orourke under another name. In my opinion

I found the fig in the fig section of a gurney 's seed catalog. Same name, same picture, and similar description. Pictures a bit blurry.

Yeah those companies produce a trade name. They have done this to many common raspberries, and stone fruits. An example is the Niwot black raspberry they only referred to as "Sweet Repeat"* The LSU figs if they had a copyright has expired, so they can call it anything they want. It is not a new variety that's for sure.http://www.henryfields.com/product/Sweet_Repeat_Black_Raspberry/raspberry_plants (look at description Niwot is mentioned)
