Pistol Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 New offer: Matt Turner SG, 6-4, 170 Trumbull, CT (Blair Academy) Offers: SLU, Duquesne, St. Joe’s, George Washington, La Salle, Seton Hall, Rutgers, Rice, Santa Clara, Hofstra, Fairfield, Quinnipiac. Interest: Davidson, Fordham, Georgetown, Villanova, Providence, Virginia, Pitt, Maryland, Alabama, Oregon, SMU, San Diego State, Princeton, Iona, FIU. Latest News: Turner’s latest offer is from SLU. He’s had a solid summer with the NY Lightning. Scouting Report: Turner is an excellent shooter whose ability to make plays off the dribble has improved. He’s got a good frame to build on, can play the point when called upon, and has speed up and down the floor. Turner is aggressive at both ends and plays like a veteran – smart, tough, and consistent.

Pistol Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Turner plays at Blair Academy with Anthony Mack, another new SLU offeree. (Don't let the Blair Academy name scare you off; that's where Jolly spent his prep year.) He's a fifth-year player, and seems to be billed by every scout as one of the more consistent perimeter shooters they've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACE Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Blair actually produces quite a few good players... BJ just wasn't one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crymdg2 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 http://Check out @scottybscout's Tweet: https://twitter.com/scottybscout/status/756187508833071106?s=09 Update on Goodwin: says schools most in contact are Illinois, Northwestern, Mizzou and SLU. Expected to make a decision around September after taking some visits. Nice to be mentioned, but still think we're long shots after both Illinois and Northwestern. I have heard, though, that he does really like Ford, so we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheChosenOne Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I agree that it still seems like a long shot (I had heard he really likes Michigan State and Northwestern and now has a group of friends recruiting him to Illinois), but good to hear us mentioned by him when he only mentioned a handful of programs.

Based on Crews' handling of his recruitment, this is an achievement in and of itself. By the way, the word before this was that he'd trim his list in early August and commit in late August. Now that he's saying September, has anyone seen when we might see a top 5 list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that same interview I think he said he was going to narrow his list over the next 2 weeks. Based on his response I am kind of thinking that may be his list (Michigan State, Illinois, Northwestern, Mizzou, and SLU). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the recent recruiting success of Groce, I don't think Illinois is going to boot him before the big names get to campus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staying home, interesting. SLU offered back in April. Milwaukee and Duquesne offered after us; Marquette wasn't going to come through. He could end up being a nice player, but was defintely one of the 2 or 3 biggest reaches on our offer list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the size of our offer list at this point I suspect there are multiple tiers of players that have received offers 1) The guys we are in contact with all the time and have a legitimate chance with 2) The guys we probably don't talk to much, but would love to have more contact with if the player would show serious interest. 3) The guys we offered at one point but now don't really talk to. They may technically have an "offer" but given that we aren't actively recruiting them, its not real. I'm betting this kid was a #3, but obviously have no inside info.

RiseAndGrind Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Sounds like Goodwin is our number one priority, but I have no idea beyond that. Anyone have a clue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLU_Nick Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I thought Goodwin was going to trim down his list very soon. Did that happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 No problem with the shotgun approach. Just hoping they have some strong indications that some of these kids might actually sign with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the video posted above he mentions trimming his list down in the next 2 weeks and that video was posted July 21st so expect around next week or so I am guessing.

billiken_roy Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 My gosh he'd not only play immediately at SLU he'd be the star. I'm betting ford is already playing that angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, but the tweets I saw suggested that he would cut his list to 5 or 6. This was from the Bullseye Prep Sports report, so maybe take it with a grain of salt, but they thought that SLU could be in a top 6, but not as likely a top 5.
