HoosierPal Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 17 hours ago, 3star_recruit said: We've already got 3 scholarships available for 2019 plus whoever decides to transfer after this year. And you know it's gonna happen. It always happens. In the past nine years, we have had 20 scholarship players with eligibility remaining, leave the program, or quit playing, for one reason or another. [Walk-on's that don't return aren't included in this number.] The average is 2.2 per year. So there is no reason to believe that we won't have at least one player leave after this upcoming season. (I may have missed one or two, but I counted 20 from the 08-09 season forward.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also SLU has three redshirt juniors (4th year students) plus Welmer who is a redshirt sophomore (3rd year student + 1 year prep school)........could possibly have enough credits to graduate and leave if not happy.

MusicCityBilliken Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 The atmosphere this last decade of Billiken Basketball made it environment rich for transfers. 2 new coaches made it clear, Majerus more vocally, Ford a little more subtle, wanted players that fits the style & level they felt needed to move the program forward. After one year of Ford we only have 2 players left from the Crews/Platt regime. I don't really count Hines. The Crews/Platt tenure was not good for team chemistry. This caused transfers. (McBroom & Grandy) I hoping, with Ford getting his players, I believe will see some stability in the roster. But, we will see transfers, hopefully it's for reasons of a player wanting to get more playing time somewhere else. (Zeke & MN) Theoretically, the transfers that will be juniors this year could be grad transfers at the end of this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Mike Devoe trimmed his list to 8 finalists: Ohio State, Indiana, USC, GT, Wake Forest, Florida, UConn, and Clemson. We offered but were never really in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Posting a lot of updates in the 2018 section of the Recruiting Lists thread today, and I had to stop and share this. Landers Nolley is cutting his list bracket-style. He's got 16 first-round matchups, and they were seeded randomly. SLU is paired with Virginia Tech.

Pistol Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 The Rivera offer was a surprise when it came through, as it looked like a pretty big stretch at the time. He's staying local, and at about the level I'd expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No surprise on either of them. Tim Finke did this a few weeks ago, but Ahrens is new. His recruitment has been a whirlwind since decommitting from Ohio State. Of course, they're a finalist again. They're also a finalist for Finke, as is Vandy, and I don't think either school will take both of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Ayo Dosunmu officially cut his list to 11: Xavier, Creighton, Wake Forest, NC State, Illinois, Kansas, Oklahoma State, USC, UConn, Memphis, and New Mexico. He had announced five official visits a while back, then cancelled them. Xavier, Illinois, Wake Forest, and Kansas were four, and I believe the fifth was Northwestern, which is not a finalist.

We need not look outside the program for precedent: Soderberg offered Tyler Griffey before he ever stepped on a HS court.

For those who don't want to click through, this is for a kid who hasn't yet started eighth grade: Future150's Elite24 All-American Camp (08/05/17-08/06/17) - "Easily one of the most skilled prospects in the camp, regardless of class. At 5'9", he's an unselfish wing who always makes the right pass. His ball skills and shooting ability are also both impressive, as he's the type of player who is always going to make the right play offensively. He's also an aware defender who gets into passing lanes. The son of former NBA player Larry Hughes, it's clear that he gets his skills from his father, and he's going to have an impressive future in the game of basketball."

billiken_roy Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 go to you tube and search larry hughes son basketball. he has some impressive video of a just to be 8th grader. step back threes, crossovers, hesitation blow bys, tear drops, etc. and by the look of it, he has decent size for his age. it sure seems like the signs are there for young mr hughes to be special.
