Not counting schools like Duke, Kentucky, KU, etc that can basically recruit strong anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetorch Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 One would think Carrawell would be recruiting STL hard but he never has. STL does send a lot of recruits to Tennessee OVC schools. Dave Loos had a pipeline with STL kids particularly on the East side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that because Carrawell can't recruit STL well, or because Marquette doesn't really recruit STL (I know they are currently after Watson)?

TFord and TRavs Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Ok so the year is 2020 and no more Crews recruits on the team. How stacked will We be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm a STL kid and my recruiting offers are similar midwestern schools, e.g. Marquette; Depaul, Dayton and Memphis; I would clearly pick SLU over those other programs. Who is the last STL kid to go to one of those schools, even throw in Xavier and Creighton, and make a name for himself? I'm still waiting! Ford is giving the top local kids a meaningful option to join a future big time program and represent their home, while at the same time being able to stay in touch with the local community---see Highmark, Claggs and The Legend.

If you add Butler to your list of similar midwestern schools, then Roosevelt Jones would be an STL kid who made an impact. The issue is that in the past their haven't been that many high level D1 recruits to come out of STL. Therefore, you weren't likely to see many of them on teams at the mid to high major level. That seems to be changing a bit now which is good for SLU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majerus mojo Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Rose Jones and Butler closest one I can think of edit: h/t RU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgeldmacher Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Bruce Weber always does well in St. Louis. Not sure what connections he and his staff have hear other than the fact that he has coached in the region. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUBillsFan Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Larry Austin Jr (Springfield IL) to Xavier is another one that comes to mind. Not exactly St Louis metro, but I think he played for the Eagles, so you might consider him an STL guy. He didn't exactly "make a name for himself" in his 2 years at Xaiver, but was a highly regarded prospect and is now transferring to Vanderbilt.
