HoosierPal Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 8 minutes ago, wgstl said: To get a slight idea, D.J. Foreman averaged 7.9 ppg while playing 26.2 minutes a game his sophomore year. Foreman shot far worse % than Santos, 48% to 55%, and 56% Ft to 72%. Foreman averaged 6.0 rpg, v 4.1 rpg. Foreman played in the Big 10, Santos in the AAC. Hard to draw any conclusion on comparing the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the natural fours will see a lot of time at the 5 over the next couple of years. We are going to need numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, let's wait to get a signed LOI to see what really happens. Nebraska finally has the makings of a good backcourt. Only took 20 years.

Now that we've seen the high-end of Ford's recruiting powers, some may be worried about guys not being "good enough", limiting the number of available scholarships etc. As always, Ford is a wizard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Foreman can replicate Reggie's numbers, I will be pleased. Recruiting over what you have is the only way to improve. Fill up the scholarship boat, because there WILL be transfers after next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3star_recruit Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 We're going to have a 13 man roster with 11 guys being at least a 3 star. Incredible. This is a high major roster in a mid-major conference. Just being a 3 star doesn't mean you'll make it off the bench. Practice is going to be a dogfight.

PRIOR TO USF: Rated a four-star recruit by ESPN.com… Rated a four-star prospect and the No. 18 power forward in the country by 247Sports.com… Competed at Sunrise Christian High School in Wichita, Kan., during the 2014-15 season… As a native of Bronx, N.Y., attended St. Raymond High School and averaged 11.1 points and 5.6 rebounds in 14 games during the 2012-13 season. Same prep school, same year as Neufeld. I wonder what happened to his 13/14 year? 12/13 in HS, 14/15 at Sunrise? Santos is likely the same age as Welmer, and will be in Welmer's classification as a junior in 18/19. Where are those posters who claim Welmer is too old to improve? You now have another whipping boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moytoy12 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 And wtf is going on at USF? Per that espn article, they have 6 transfers out. Maybe Santos is a good player who was in a really bad situation at USF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On paper, the 2018-2019 team will probably be the most talented team in SLU history. Hopefully that's what the on-court results show us as well.

Maybe Santos is a good player who was in a really bad situation at USF. After the former coach Antiqua left and went to Illinois, there were rumblings about some violations coming down. I believe Brian Gregory went there and who wouldn't want to play for that guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SShoe Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I'm normally jacked up after recruits commit, but this one has me scratching my head a little. I confess, I have not SEENTHEKIDPLAY, but Santos' stats are mediocre for a bad team. He doesn't help us this year and will just be taking a scholly from a potential freshman or someone in 2018. It's also a little concerning in regards to a few existing players/recruits. One, he appears to be a similar player as Foreman. Is there ongoing concern about Foreman's long-term health. The same can be asked about Welmer. Given his health problems, is there a chance he may not be here long-term. I hope not because I think he offers something different - a good shooting big. Last, and probably the biggest leap, does this raise any concern about Gordon's commitment? Is the staff hedging their bets a little to make sure they have another inside player if Gordon decommits?

Macallan 18 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 We need bench / role players and that is what Santos Luis is. Nothing to get too excited about but good to have. He is not nearly good enough to be a hedge for Gordon. Gordon's The Man and knows he has nothing to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take solace in knowing that just a little over a year ago you would have felt completely excited about this pickup. He will be fine and is a good get. Is he better than Gillman? Yes.

A big Bull's fan? Already relegated him to the bench. Hilarious. Here is my stance. Don't get excited about Santos, or Foreman, or Henriquez, or Bess or Graves or French or Goodwin until you see them play at least a couple of college games in a Billiken uniform.

Unless you were getting a senior transfer eligible immediately, AG's leaving didn't mean much. Theoretically, Santos' scholarship is coming from Neufeld's departure, so that's obviously an upgrade, but I still would've preferred a four-year player with that one. I realize I'm nit-picking, but our fortunes have changed enough in the last year that I feel we can afford to be picky. Who knows, he may end up being All A-10.

Guys who don't start come off the bench. He won't be playing for a year so who knows what will happen between now and then? But for today, based on his mediocre numbers on a crappy team I don't see him as a starter. Since you apparently are a big SF Bulls fan, have seen all his games and have him penciled in as an all of a sudden big time starter please enlighten us further. Hilarious...
