Recruit

Recruit (1/7)

  1. After doing a little research, I made a list of several prospects that should be on SLU's radar screen for 2007. Most of these players are within the region. Also, there are no prospects on this list that are being recruited so heavily that SLU would appear to be a lesser program. Most of these young men will end up at a D-1 program and some will be at high major programs. Hopefully, SLU can get out to those tournaments and camps and get a look at some of these prospects. I've talked to a lot of kids from the local AAU teams and only one guy could recall ever seeing a SLU coach in the crowd. 2007 Targets C Zach House 6-10/200 Illinois C Matt Dorlack 6-11/235 Wisconsin C Joe Latas 6-10/230 Ohio C Scott Movial 6-10/??? Ohio C Montreale Clark 6-10/??? Wisconsin C Evan Schmidt 6-11/240 Indiana PF Mitchell Hampton 6-9/210 Louisiana PF Malcolm Kirkland 6-8/210 Mississippi PF Lavorious Weathers 6-7/225 Mississippi PF Alexis Wangmene 6-8/235 Texas PF Andrew Zimmerman 6-9/192 Wisconsin PF Will Hudson 6-9/200 Wisconsin SF Kyle Weems* 6-6/195 Kansas SF Leon Powell 6-7/200 Missouri SF Andrew Kueker 6-8/200 Missouri SF Mike Capocci 6-6/190 Illinois SF Lucas O'Rear 6-6/200 Illinois SG James Haarsma 6-7/215 Wisconsin SG Ceola Clark 6-2/???

  2. It's hard for me to believe that there is a mid-major program that would not want to take a chance on Grimes. Playing anywhere besides would really motivate him. SLU actually has a focus on feeding the big man down low, which is what Kalen thought would happen at Mizzou. His strength is going hard to the rim, and his ability to run the floor very well helps flatten out the other team's transition defense. He was said to be a lazy player at Hazelwood Central, but he was an absolute beast at those Nike Camps and AAU tournaments where he would often times put up huge numbers. If Grimes had gone to any of those other major programs that recruited him such as, Kentucky, Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, Georgia Tech, or Arkansas, I think he would be doing well there. Grimes would be a star player for SLU. Snyder simply built a terrible program. Nobody on Mizzou looks comfortable playing there because they are all taken away from their strengths. All they do is dribble around the perimeter and throw up a 3-pt shot. They don't even appear to be running an offense, and it's obvious that defense isn't a priority. Snyder recruited four studs out of that 2004 class and he wasn't able to do much with any of them. Nobody is doing well at Mizzou right now, so why is Grimes such a risk for SLU?
