If you scroll to the bottom of this article it states both Gillman and his teammate from Oakville (who had an awesome tournament) are headed to SLU. Is he walking on or is this a mistake? He'd be a steal if he's walking on. Or maybe he's just going to school and not looking to play anymore?

Perhaps Sarajilic is going to SLU for Track & Cross-Country.

He must be coming to play another sport. Surely it would have been publicized if a player with the scoring ability he seems to have were coming to SLU to play basketball. I've seen nothing from Torch or BWex on Sarajlic.

I bet it's just a mistake.

Isn't he a 6'4" power forward? I don't think he is exactly what we are looking for for a scholarship player.

I don't know anything about Sarajilic coming to play for SLU. He's a nice player. Could probably play lower level D-1. Reminds me of Yelovich from SIUE a few years back. Bj McLaughlin too from Haz Central two years ago. Decent inside outside game. Great scorer. He'll be a very good college basketball player. Just don't think he is high major material.

Have the Billikens, or any team you know of take two kids from the same school's graduating class?

(I only know of one, Evansville took two kids from Centralia, Il in 1963)

If CB falls through would he be a prospect? (12 Ervin Sarajlic SF Sr. 6-5 200 )

No. Ervin Sarajlic will probably land a D2 program. He is good enough to be a preferred walk-on at SLU, but I haven't heard anything that leads me to believe that is his plan. He is a combo forward that can shoot the deep ball. He's more of a wing than a post. I hear that he is a very good student, and I've seen schools such as a Truman State check out a few games this season. To my knowledge has a twin brother, Elvir, that has given a verbal to Wash-U for track and field.

Mass update:

-Bartley and Gillmann have not played since the Collinsville tournament, which was covered well by TheTorch on page 5. MacArthur returns to action on 1/7 against Normal Community HS.

-Gillmann is now averaging 20.9 points, 13.3 rebounds, 4.7 blocks, and 2.1 assists. He's shooting 64.3% from the field and 74.5% from the FT line. Oakville plays Holt on 1/3.

-Jolly and Blair Academy have not played since the close loss in Newark. They return on 1/4 vs. Graham HS.

-Roby and White Station have been on Christmas break since returning from Hawaii. They play Overton on 1/7.

-Reynolds and Whitney Young headed out to Oregon for the 2013 Les Schwab Invitational, where they finished fourth. Okafor led the tournament in scoring, averaging 31 points on 81.3% shooting, along with a tournament-high 12.5 rebounds a game. Results were as follows:

  1. WY 71, Clackamas 31. Reynolds: 7 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 turnovers, 3 steals. 3-10 shooting, 1-5 from 3.
  2. WY 89, Churchill 80. Reynolds: 9 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist. 3-10 shooting, 0-2 from 3. Okafor had 40 and 16 in this one. Wow.
  3. Rainier Beach 89, WY 82. Reynolds: 16 points, 3 assists, 3 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 block, 1 turnover. 4-9 shooting, 2-6 from 3.
  4. West Linn 68, WY 67. Reynolds: 15 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists. 6-22 shooting, 0-9 from 3. Ouch. He must be watching Barnett.

-Prior to the LSI, Whitney Young played in the City of Palms Florida. The results:

  1. WY 52, St. Vincent-St. Mary's 45. Reynolds: 21 points, 4 assists, 1 rebound, 1 turnover, 2 steals. 8-16 shooting, 1-4 from 3.
  2. Paul VI 57, WY 52. Reynolds: 7 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists, 4 turnovers, 1 block, 1 steal. Fouled out. 1-6 shooting, 1-3 from 3. Quadree Smith scored 13 for Paul VI.
  3. WY 63, Providence 55. Reynolds: 5 points, 3 assists, 2 turnovers, 2 steals. 2-10 shooting, 0-3 from 3.

-Next up for the traveling fiends at Whitney Young is the Cancer Research Classic at Wheeling University in Texas, where they'll take on Prime Prep on 1/3. Hopefully Reynolds can show a little more consistency moving forward, but he's certainly playing at the highest level of HS basketball possible.

Thanks for the update. Nice to see guys like Reynolds and Roby playing for such high profile programs. They are playing in some high profile games and what seems to amount to a mini-college schedule with all the traveling. I know Gillman is regarded as a bit of a developmental player, but those are some impressive numbers for the big fella.

Yeah, Gillmann really couldn't be doing anything more than he is right now. It's not like he's playing tomato cans from the lowest division, either. McCluer North twice, Fort Zumwalt South, Belleville East, Chicago Marshall- solid competition. Oakville's issue all season will be that they've got no guards. But it's been impressive to see the numbers he's putting up so far on both ends, and he's no doubt seeing some packed-in defenses because of Oakville's lack of perimeter scoring.
