NH Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Will Clyburn.I saw a tall, black dude and kind of assumed he was a recruit. I felt bad, but I think it looked like Clyburn now that you mention it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zink Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Will Clyburn. Sure was. he put up 52 earlier this season for his marshalltown cc team. an athletic scoring wing who can create his own shot would be a great addition to this team and take tons of pressure off KM. unfortunately, it seems ISU wants him, a teammate is going there, he has a relationship with the coach etc. also, if he came to SLU, that would probably mean no Loe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loe is definitely my first choice, but this looks like a very good fall-back option because we also could use a prototypical 3. It looks like Iowa State has a good shot at him since his teammate is going there, but there are rumors ISU will fire their coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doowop Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 As someone else stated on another thread, we don't need another big man who scores mainly from outside. Clyburn would help fill SLU's needs more than Loe would. We need a banger under the boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLUDrew Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Getting Rob Loe would not be "settling" at all. It would be a real coup if we could land him. Clyburn looks like he would be a very nice addition but I would ahve have Loe for four years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyburn would help fill SLU's needs more than Loe would. We need a banger under the boards. Huh? We have exactly one big man that can score from the outside: Ellis. The other 4 shouldn't shoot from more than 10 feet from the basket. Loe would be a perfect fit for this team and would be an incredible coup for us to land. I hope Clyborn wants to come but its not every day you have a chance at a 7 footer that wants to play PF, has a legitimate chance at the NBA and would immediately be one of our best players. He average 18 ppg in the same tourney that Ellis average 12. That should tell people just how good he is. If you need further proof, he was offered by Pitt, G-Tech and probably Arizona. And you'd potentially get him for 4 years. In my opinion there are two keys to this offseason that will be the difference between being an 8-12 seed next year and a 4-7 seed that is ranked in the top 25 much of the season : 1) no major defections from the team 2) Rob Loe.

Who is going to help WR on the offensive boards if we sign Loe? People want CR to redshirt so from where will the rebounding come? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loe will avg 25.5pts and 3 assists Conklin will avg 1 pt and 8 forearm shivers Rebounding wont be necessary ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quality Is Job 1 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Who is going to help WR on the offensive boards if we sign Loe? People want CR to redshirt so from where will the rebounding come?The reason that the Billikens don't get many offensive rebounds is not that they don't have guys who can get them; rather, it's because the coaches' defensive philosophy requires them to focus on getting back to cut off transition. Besides, when you're missing a lot of perimeter jumpers, the rebounds are longer, out of the area that the big men tend to occupy. If the guards are focused on protecting the backcourt after a shot, how can they get the offensive rebound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about our big men. With Ellis shooting mostly 3 point shots, Willie is usually under the basket by himself. I am talking about our starting big men. JS and CR do fine for the limited minutes they play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
