I wonder how many of the local recruits are viewing the hiring of Ford. I think we can officially cross Tilmon off of the list: Jeff Borzello: No. 29-ranked 2017 Jeremiah Tilmon tells ESPN he is down to five: Illinois, Michigan State, North Carolina, Texas, Kansas. Jeff Borzello: Jeremiah Tilmon also just said that Missouri is still in the mix *I am assuming Mizzou is not in the mix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgeldmacher Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 That's funny. I can see someone whispering in his ear while Borzello was typing his Tweet, "you were supposed to mention Mizzou also." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulley actually served a year as head coach back in the 2011-2012 season. The most surprising thing to me is that Word of God is still open. Based on Randy's stories about the place, it was a total sham school - i.e. a shell to house an athletic program. I guess as long as the big names (John Wall, CJ Leslie, etc.) keep coming through, they'll find a way around the NCAA. Harris would be a really nice get, but there will be eligibility concerns just because of where he's coming from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Blake Harris PG, 6-3, 180 Chapel Hill, NC (Word of God) Offers: SLU, La Salle, Seton Hall, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Miami, Clemson, Iowa State, Ole Miss, LSU, Washington, Cincinnati, Memphis, UCF, Columbia, Norfolk State, UNC-Greensboro. Interest: VCU, North Carolina, NC State, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Vanderbilt. Latest News: SLU is Harris’ latest offer. Scouting Report: Harris is a quick, aggressive guard with pass-first instincts. He has good length for his position and creates a lot of steals at the defensive end.

The sad truth is that Word of God (in Raleigh not Chapel Hill) is still around because there are worse options and bigger frauds in NC and Raleigh. A few years ago a friend who lives in Durham told me a story about a basketball focused charter school (unlike Word of God this school was taking public money) that had more basketball coaching staff than teachers (this school I am sure played Word of God).

I think he transferred to Word of God for this upcoming year. Based on that offer, I'm sure he's a bright kid and good student. You just never know when and if the official NCAA hammer could come down on a school like that, so my comment was based more on the nature of the institution than the player.

TheChosenOne Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Tilmon to Illinois.

cgeldmacher Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Even though I would have preferred he go to SLU, I actually appreciate Tilmon staying home to play for his home state team. Better than him going to KU or other top schools. I don't think there was a chance of him coming to SLU anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interest: Monmouth, Stony Brook. Latest News: Kante received an offer from SLU, his latest. Scouting Report: Kante was originally a 2016 player but reclassified and transferred to Putnam. A large-framed center, he’s a strong rebounder and rim protector. On the offensive end, he loves to finish off the pick-and-roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the reports I've seen (haven't seen video yet), my guess is he's a bit of a late bloomer and a guy who'd probably have more big-time offers if he were just a little taller. Seems like taking a prep year is going to be a really good choice for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lost count how many offers for 2017 We've got to get at least some of these guys right? Right? I actually wonder if Ford thinks we have a chance on some of these guys, or if he just sees a benefit in having the SLU name out there when it comes to some of the higher ranked recruits. Then again, he can pitch the opportunity for immediate playing time on what we assume will be a competitive, NCAA-level team in '17-'18 with the three transfers becoming eligible.
