Bills_06 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Tweets deleted to remain in compliance with NCAA rules regarding tagging recruits in tweets It's a NCAA violation to tag a recruit in a tweet? Quick somebody make a DukesBlog account and tag Jayson Tatum and report them. On a serious note, did you tweet that SLU had interest in McKissic or was there more information? I thought you mentioned him in a tweet but obviously that is deleted now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3star_recruit Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Very good to read. Any scouting report from anybody who has seen McKissic play? He's a 6'1, 170 lb combo guard with a muscular build. Has blow by speed and loves to finish at the rim. Solid mid-range game. Developing three point shot. Hasn't shown the court vision of a point guard thus far. Vocal, encouraging player on the court. Is SLUH's go to player when they need a bucket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this, but would add that he seems to show a willingness and has the physical traits to potentially be a lock down defender. Good kid and hopefully his high school coach can push him in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3star_recruit Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I'll be shocked if Tilmon qualifies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 As long as tillmon stays at east St louis I am with 3 star. Academic concerns loom. Few east St louis athletes qualify Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshoe Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 ESL is certainly a concern but Terry Beckner just qualified for Mizzou football so I'm not sure its as dire as people typically believe. I'm sure if Tillmon works hard he can qualify. And if he qualifies per the NCAA, he'd qualify for SLU. Our biggest concern is keeping kids eligible beyond year 1. If he's as good as advertised that likely wouldn't be an issue because he'd declare for the pros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3star_recruit Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Maybe my memory is faulty, but I believe Tilmon has already missed games due to issues in the classroom. Seems like a longshot to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having back to back "One and Done" players is really going to boost our national recognition among the nation's elite. Stoked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills_06 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Tillmon would be our 2nd offer out for the 2017 class right? Him and Wyatt Yess are the only two I can think of. Wonder when we offered Tillmon as I was hoping to hear that Goodwin received an offer around the same time as any other 2017. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboy Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Goodwin has told us this regarding not having a SLU offer: "I mean I'm kinda upset, but I'll wait." -BBlog, do you know if SLU has offered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshoe Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Today is the first day colleges can reach out directly to 2017 prospects. Prior to today the kid had to call the school directly or we had to work through intermediaries. It makes complete sense that you would see a lot of "heard from" reports on a day like today. Today is all about calling/texting as many kids as possible and talking to them for a few minutes to get on their preliminary lists. If you assume we want to wait to extend an offer in in person, it would not make sense for us to offer Goodwin today unless he happened to be on campus.
