BACKHANDtheRICAN Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Riverview won again yesterday, 4-1 with whole roster now. Zeke posted this little short video. For a player who doesn't have much film, figured this is at least something. his competition doesn't look that great. if he chose to go play for Crews, he's probably very average. Backhand doesn't need to see the film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BANG! He Got It!

Billiken Law Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 http://mweb.cbssports.com/ncaaf/writer/jon-solomon/25457033/college-sports-discussing-eliminating-academic-standards-for-freshmenThe NCAA is apparently looking into getting rid of initial eligibility requirements for athletes. This could greatly influence someone such as Draggs or TilMon if he hadn't transfered away. Obviously it is has not happened yet, but the fact the NCAA is talking about it is interesting nonetheless. No, the Power 5 schools are discussing it, just as they have discussed getting rid of transfer regulations (e.g. allowing poaching). Both would be disastrous to schools like SLU where athletes are actually students too and the general membership would never approve it. If anything it's another sign the Power 5 will soon split off to form their own organization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierPal Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 - -where's the scholly coming from? or more accurately, who? Every school over-recruits, every year. We 'lost' McBroom and Lanco last year. It is unusual to not have transfers. It's 50/50 that we will have someone leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeseman Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 - -where's the scholly coming from? or more accurately, who? We have 2 to give and Moore took one. Hine's schollie is still available. Now that answers your questions technically. In reality, we know there will be transfers. I guess Crews lives in the world of denial.

It's good to hear we're still recruiting for '16, but how many 2/3s do we need on a team? Even if the staff anticipates one of our current 2/3s to be leaving, I'd love to see us offering someone other than another 6'4" not-quite-a-pg-not-quite-a-sg.

Interesting - Calipari is bitching about 1 and done ruining his his program how will he feel about having other schools poaching off his roster? I guess players would find themselves getting dumped also in the Spring if a coach thought he could do better with someone else's player. I know that can sort of happen already but at least it usually is not a transfer that causes this now. Stupid idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Here's some decent video on Diarra: http://hooplife.net/news/2016/01/23/64-cartier-diarra-is-one-of-the-hottest-unsigned-srs-in-the-south/ Cartier Diarra: SG, 6-4, 185, West Florence, SC (West Florence) – Offers: SLU, K-State, Georgia State. Interest: Duquesne, St. Bonaventure, Wichita State, MTSU, South Alabama. Latest News: Diarra picked up offers from SLU and K-State. He took an official visit to K-State on 1/16. Scouting Report: Diarra is an explosive lefty with a vertical near 40 inches. He has flown under the radar until this season, as he has bounced back and forth between his home state of New York, where he plays AAU, and South Carolina, where he attends high school and lives with former Clemson player and NBA draft pick Sharone Wright. Diarra has demonstrated a complete game this season, averaging 19.4, 11.0, and 8.1. Twitter: @scunderdog20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Mfiondu Kabengele: F, 6-9, 235, Burlington, Ontario (Don Bosco Prep, NJ) – Offers: SLU, St. Bonaventure, Boston College, Florida State, Georgia, Vermont, Binghamton, Grand Canyon. Interest: None. Latest News: SLU is Kabengele’s latest offer. He visited Florida State in mid-January. Scouting Report: Kabengele is a late bloomer from a recruiting standpoint; his first offer was Binghamton in September. He has a 7-1 wingspan but handles the ball like a guard. He has added significant weight since the offseason, filling out his long frame. He’s a confident shooter with range and a disruptive defender.

Pistol Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 He's a good-looking player. Consider me very intrigued by this guy, as well. He's not what I originally expected, based on his size. He plays like a guard. I'm not sure he'd be comfortable playing down low, which is what he'd have to do on our roster. He's as tall or taller than Agbeko, with longer arms. Maybe not quite as solid (yet). But he looks like he'd rather play a 2-3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnbj14 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 According to some K-State twitter, Diarra is announcing his decision on February 3rd. The writer who the info comes from posted in on some K-State forum that required a subscription to view, so I am going based off of the conversation on Twitter. Basically, Diarra is announcing February 3rd and K-State is the presumed favorite from what I have gathered. Edit: Also, according to Yahoo, Diarra had an official visit to SLU on January 9th. http://sports.yahoo.com/ccc/basketball/recruiting/player-Cartier-Diarra-187387 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has one of the best HS football programs in the nation too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
