Pistol Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 Careful on the rankings because you're not always getting apples to apples. Aggregators like VC aren't reliable because they don't pick up all of them, so an "average" ranking/rating there could only reflect 1-2 services. Also, that's not our Jalen Johnson on the top 150 lists; there's another Jalen Johnson who is a freshman at Tennessee. 2017 rankings Goodwin: 56 Rivals, 52 Scout, 57 ESPN, 48 247Sports, 74 Future150 French: 139 Rivals, NR Scout (18 PF), NR ESPN (24 PF), 158 247Sports, 102 Future150 - given his position rank at ESPN and Scout, whose lists only go up to 100, French would be squarely in the 100-150 tier. 2014 rankings Bess: 119 Rivals, NR Scout (25 SF), NR ESPN (20 SG), 148 247Sports Foreman: 133 Rivals, NR Scout, NR ESPN (37 PF), 128 247Sports Henriquez: NR Rivals (150-200), NR Scout, NR ESPN (23 SG), 124 247Sports So we have four (arguably five) guys who are/were top-150 recruits for their class, one of whom is a top-60 recruit.

Previously, I volunteered to host during Arlington Texas' Final 4. I Now live in Austin and we could rent a bus to shuttle us from my place to SA, it's a 1.5 hr drive. We could pitch in for a keg of Easy Drinking Busch Light to make the ride better or just stop at Buc-ee's for tall boys. Overflow goes to Knight's Inn. Breakfast Tacos are complimentary. I'll pitch in for a breakfast at the Guenther House in SA and all-you-can eat Beaver Nuggets from Buc-ee's. Robert Earl Keen Jr performs "Feelin Good Again" at the pre-game party.

Individual rankings are definitely a bit hard to pin down as there is little consistency outside of the top 75ish. Do note that I got the Jalen Johnson ranking from our team page on verbal commits, not from the player list, so unless VC got them mixed up somewhere that should be accurate.

Not a full year, but I suppose both he and Goodwin could see their rankings move over the course of the next several months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know the drill for the ranking "experts." Those guys chose us, so their rankings will go down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Adonys 39 somewhere, thought it was rivals, but now I'm wondering if I just misspelled and got the wrong guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He peaked that high, but it was early in his HS career. Definitely fell off a bit towards the end. Regardless of rankings, he's a proven shooter and scorer from a strong conference. I'll take his collegiate performance as an indication that he can contribute to a good team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Compared to what we've pulled in the previous two years forget the numbers. Travis Ford is building a solid team. SLU is on the rebound, when we could have been buried beneath a mound of Mississippi mud forever. I'm excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the fact that our young guys have to go up against top 150 players every day in practice. Hopefully that translates into them into being a little more game-ready the first month of the season.

SLURadioBoy Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I can't wait to see Goodwin, Henriquez, Bess, French and Foreman on the floor together next year. That might be the best size, strength and athleticism we've ever had on the court at once. When they get us back to the tournament, they will forever be known as the "Ford Five".
