ACE Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I like the fact that Tatum has made it clear he is going to decide in July. This board will be crazy following the decision. Recruiting with FBJT in the fold would look a lot different than without him. It should open a lot of doors. Either way, it is good this is not going to drag on.

Billiken75 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 You have bad information. Here is the link, Tatum still one of the guard finalists. Go Jayson! http://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/purdue/2015/06/15/purdues-edwards-swanigan-clear-first-cut-of-u-19-usa-basketball-team/71262730/?hootPostID=%5B%273b155ddeb5fba6fecf781fad705c51de%27%5D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiseAndGrind Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 also broke down all eight schools on his list: Duke: “Coach K is a legendary coach, great guy. I have a great relationship with the coaching staff. It’s at home as well so you can never go wrong staying at home. And they’re just legendary, they produce a lot of pros. The players got a relationship with the coach after they leave Duke.” On whether he talks with Jason Tatum and Dennis Smith about a package deal: “We talk about it here and there. We just talk as boys…We kind of throw it in there from time to time but we gotta make the right decision for us.” http://zagsblog.com/articles/harry-giles-makes-usa-u19-cut-talks-recruiting/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kshoe Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Per Jeff Goodman, Tatum made the U19 USA team roster. A major accomplishment given that most of the guys on the team are 1 or 2 years older than him. I was thinking the other day about all the good things that would come from Jayson coming to SLU. There's the obvious things like fan excitement, a stellar 2016 season, help with additional recruiting, etc. But one thing that is probably longer term in nature is that all SLU fans will have a favorite player in the NBA again and in turn will have a favorite team to call for. Furthermore, we'll be able to watch him play on the various USA teams and hopefully eventually the Olympic team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatum, hypothetically, would be one of the top players on whatever team he lands on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Thomas Welsh was also named to the U19 team alongside Jayson Tatum. He's a center at UCLA. SLU had offered him relatively early in his recruitment, but he blew up fast after that and the whole Pac 12 was battling for him. Kinda weird to see. I'm glad Sean Miller is coaching this team (with brother Archie and Ed Cooley) instead of Coach K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad Sean Miller is coaching this team (with brother Archie and Ed Cooley) instead of Coach K. After all the time Coach Krzyzewski spent with the senior men's basketball team (formerly "Dream Team"), it seems unlikely he would coach an under-19 team.

NextYearBill Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Dear FBJT, "Being back home is everything that I dreamed of, everything that I thought about. Being back with these fans, being back with this community, just being back here and trying to bring joy to this city, which deserves it. Bringing a sense of pride to this city, which deserves it. Giving this city something to talk about, which they deserve." Sincerely, LeBron James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 LeBron has a lot of internal strength, good for him. People that aim to do what he says he wants to do deserve special praise and commendation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
