Glorydays2013 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I'm pretty sure Ford sold SLU to Gordan that he will be the start of team and the city, compared to just another top player elsewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramey just came out with his top 13 and we weren't on it. There is 0 chance he's going to SLU and its OK because we already have Gordon, have Thatch and still have a shot at Watson.

He seems like a guy who might wait awhile his senior year to make a decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he is serious about all 13 of the schools on his list, probably has his top 3-5 already, but leaves some on just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I have heard all along that Ramey did not want to come to SLU, why should he get us in his top 13 list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some local kids keep the local programs on their lists just for the additional media attention that stays on them. Locally it is not as big of a story if a kid is choosing between Louisville, Texas, Ohio State, and Kansas State, but keeping SLU/Mizzou/Illinois on the list guarantees the local media stays interested. There really would not be much interest locally otherwise beyond a quick mention that this local kid committed to some random high major program out of the area. Something for those kids to consider when making that decision as well if staying relevant locally is important to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almaman Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 might there still be a kid our two that doesn't want hype and attention? Any talk of WG HS basketball player and changing of mind should be discouraged could lead to a bad karma/careful for what you wish for kind of thing and bite us on the ass. Safe to say that chances of us losing Gordon are far greater than us getting Ramey. I too think neither will happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Who cares about him. He can go be a nobody and get high with Pitino at Louisville. It's irrelevant. Let's focus on the guys who are interested in coming to SLU and making a truly special program. Go spend time with Tatum being a nobody. Just another face on the team. Thatch and Gordon and Goodwin will enjoy winning the A10 and receiving all the media spotlight and attention of a top 20 market, particularly in an area devoid of other distractions in early March. This program is ready to explode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say Tatum is "a nobody" and "just another face", he's averaging 16 & 7 on the 21st ranked team in the country. He's Duke's second leading scorer, was just named one of ten 2017 Julius Erving Small Forward of the Year finalists and is a projected lottery pick as a freshman.

Probably makes us have a little bit more respectable record, but not a tournament team IMO. Additionally, CrewsPlatt probably retain their jobs, and a year later we are right back where we were before Tatum. I don't think Goodwin, French, Gordon, Thatch, etc are in the fold with Crews here. In summary: we are better off having not got Tatum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
