Pistol Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Caesar DeJesus: SG, 6-2, 165, Teaneck, NJ (Mt. Zion) – Offers: SLU, George Mason, UCF, Southern Miss, Winthrop, Chattanooga, Maine, North Texas, Robert Morris, Canisius, Mount St. Mary’s. Interest: Iowa State, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Baylor, K-State, Florida State, Memphis, Quinnipiac, Rider. Latest News: DeJesus picked up SLU and UCF offers in April. Scouting Report: DeJesus is a confident scorer from all over the floor, with a solid perimeter game and the ability to go to the rim. He spent this season working on becoming a more complete guard, focusing on ball handling and getting his teammates involved. Jalen Johnson: SF, 6-7, 195, Baton Rouge, LA (University) – Offers: SLU, Richmond, Clemson, South Carolina, Southern Miss, South Florida, UTEP, Tulane, FIU, Buffalo, UT-Martin, Southeastern Louisiana, Southern. Interest: Arkansas, LSU, Alabama, Ole Miss, Baylor, Houston, Rice, Murray State, Louisiana Tech, Furman. Latest News: Johnson picked up offers from Southern Miss, UTEP, and SLU in April. Scouting Report: Johnson is an athletic high-scoring lefty who scores in a variety of ways and rebounds well on the defensive end. He’s a solid but limited defender who also needs to crash the offensive boards more. Johnson was named Outstanding Player of the 3A all-state basketball team after leading University to its third straight Louisiana state title.

Pistol Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 DeJesus is a fifth-year prep school kid. He's always been pegged as a big-time scorer but seems to understand his limitations due to his size, so he took the prep year to focus on point guard skills. In the meantime, his recruitment has gone up a few notches, from having offers from small northeastern schools to having interest from a lot of BCS programs. Johnson won three straight state championships in Louisiana, and was named the outstanding player of the most recent state tournament. He's a lefty, good scorer, solid rebounder. Both come across as good kids in what I can find about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NC State, Colorado, KU, SMU, and Kansas State in mix. I had given up on that possibility after seeing his initial list of schools. Nice that we are at least getting him to give us a look, but of course in recruiting finishing second doesn't mean anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I think Whitt would be a great get for us and a really nice fit here, I somewhat question the level of interest some of those other programs have in him.

slu72 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 All Witt has to do is look at our current roster. Should be a no brainer for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLU_Nick Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Whitt sits out anyway right? I think this would be a prime place to sit out a year, work with the team, then start playing exciting basketball with the 2017 recruiting class. A starting line up of Foreman, Whitt, Welmer, and 2 4 star 2017 guys would have the potential to do some damage in the A-10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Has anyone seen Welmer recently? Has he added a decent amount of muscle to his frame? That body going into last season was not going to make it through a season. He was weaker than Gillman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACE Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 While I think Whitt would be a great get for us and a really nice fit here, I somewhat question the level of interest some of those other programs have in him. Other than KU, why do you question the level of interest of the other programs? You don't think he could play for the likes of Colorado, NC State and K-State? He was a top 100, even top 75 recruit coming out of HS. Began the season strong, even started some games. Seemed to hit a wall mid-season, but improved his shooting late in the year. Anderson stated he didn't want him to leave, so not a case of a coach pushing a kid out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
