Their guards can't be that bad, can they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3star_recruit Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 In the best of circumstances, Tilmon's not a dominant scorer. He's a likely NBA prospect because long, athletic 6'10 guys who have a clue in the post and can rebound are NBA prospects. 20 years ago he would have been a 4 year player.

In looking at ESTL's box scores, he is not doing much, point production wise. Is that because he wasn't on the team last year or is there some other reason? He's the 2nd best big man in STL behind.......... Gordon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched Tilmon as a sophomore come out and dominate Chaminade and juniors at the time Tyler Cook and Will Gladson and then he never touched the ball in the 2nd half. When they got him the ball posting up early in the game neither of those two could stop him from getting a dunk and he easily blocked their shots at the other end. I remember seeing that he ended with 13 points and thinking I have never seen a kid look so good only score 13 points. His natural athleticism for his length is off the charts. After that game I could easily see how his production may not match his ability level playing for ESL, but I came away extremely impressed with his natural ability (definitely a one and done type talent).

3star_recruit Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I also believe Gordon is the best big man in the area. But Gordon playing with one of the best point guards in the Midwest will make the difference appear even greater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is going to be fun to watch those two run together, enjoy trying to guard that St. Louis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusam Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I wonder if we would be interested in Yankuba Sima. 6'11" kid just announced he is transferring from St Johns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take him in a heartbeat. He's only a sophomore and is a fringe NBA prospect (#49 among sophomores according to Draft Express). Would be a huge upgrade at the 5.

The only thing with him is that he cant play next year. And I think we have a team that can go deep next year, WITH the addition of a center.

As it stands right now I don't think we have enough depth to go deep next year or even if we are deep enough to make the tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he enrolls at another school before the start of the second semester, he can play at the end of first semester, 2017-2018. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Ford should be giving him a call. I assume from what others are saying that he takes care of the hole at center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. He'd be able to help us in conference and the tourney, AND be eligible for two more years. Sign me up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sign me up. No; he'd be eligible for one more year. He's a sophomore now; his junior year will be the second semester of next season. After that, all he'll have left is his senior season. That's assuming he doesn't turn pro sooner. I don't know what his draft stock is like, but if he has the buzz, he might never play another college game.

Huh, you're right...why can't players split up their eligibility across two seasons? For some reason I though that you don't lose that semester of eligibility, but I do seem to be wrong, looking at the careers of others who have done this.

NCAA eligibility isn't subdivided into semesters, but years. And one game during the season counts as that year, except in the cases of medical hardships.
