Just saw a picture tweeted of Izzo and Cal watching Tatum and Crews with Tanner are right behind them watching so that answered my question.

Has it just been Crews or does he have any assistants with him?

Well based on his final four, I don't think there is any denying that Blue and white is running through his veins.

Was there an entire 4 page article just about him? I have read the little paragraph from si with his dad's quote at the end but not sure if there was more in the magazine. At the end of the paragraph they did say that his decision will "shock" the basketball world, which, let's face it, there is only 1 choice on his final four that would shock the basketball world. Also, was the AAU quote in the si article?

I don't think the point of showing him that is to say we are better than Duke but basically it is to say that he may be impressed right now with the fact Duke is national champions, but they can just as easily be one and done the next year. Going far in the tournament isn't a guarantee no matter what school he would pick, it really would be on him that year to be the leader to take whatever team as far as it will go. It is unfortunate that they won the national championship now thinking about it as I'm sure them visiting him in home right after made a good impression. If they would've lost second round and visited him right after, I think the wow factor would be a lot less.

Or the 2012 Lehigh game upsetting the 2 seed Duke and the 9 seed SLU team making it further than them.

I thought the same thing. I also got the impression UNC doesn't really have that much of a chance at all (not that I thought they were high favorites before). Didn't make it seem like a visit was a really high priority for him.

Posted this link in the fab 5 discussion but figured I would post it here since that discussion turned into a Mizzou SLU debate or something. Tatum talking final 4 schools, sounds like Duke is in the lead. https://rivals.yahoo.com/video/recruiting-basketball/EYBL-Jayson-Tatum-talks-top-4-1133868

Double post

Don't know if this has been posted, but interview with Jayson yesterday about his final 4. Also talks about package deal with Cook and Sneed and doesn't sound like they have been talking about it. https://rivals.yahoo.com/video/recruiting-basketball/EYBL-Jayson-Tatum-talks-top-4-1133868

He seemed to be enjoying the chants and everything at the all century game. Do we know that he will be walking around campus? I only ask because it seems he goes down to SLU pretty often so not sure if that is something they do every time or if he may just stay by Chaifetz.

Does it also involve having Nelly and the St. Lunatics come out in Tatum Billiken jersey's and perform a concert on campus? That would be pretty cool.

According to Charlie Marlow from the 2 Fox, Mizzou was not in the top 5. He said he knew the top 5 a few weeks ago which I'm sure from Justin Tatum when he was in studio talking to him about high school basketball he told him the top 5 off the record. So I'd have to agree Mizzou was not 5th, at least not for a few weeks.

In a couple interviews he has said he is down at SLU every other week. He has already made one official visit, what does he do differently on the official visits compared to when he says he is on campus every other week? Is it just he can sit down with the coaches more and go over how he would fit in their system? It isn't a bad thing that he is trimming his list down in the next week or two and has a visit scheduled with us next week is it?

For those who follow local high school basketball, any recruits from SLUH that look like they could be contributors in D1 basketball? Just curious with Claggett as the head coach, should have a good in.
