I think Curbelo already committed to St. John’s.

Well that doesn’t sound great.

I’m not sure how much of a difference it makes, but IUP is actually Indiana University in Pennsylvania.

If he has, I haven’t seen anything about it. He was just the only other player I could think of that would be local.

That sounds like Turnbull. I suppose it could be Bradford from K-State, but Turnbull would seem to fit more into the “different element” category.

I didn’t see the question mark the first time I looked at this. Do you know something?

I don’t think so. At least not last year. I think someone here said that there is some rule against players playing for AAU teams that their high school coach is involved with, and apparently Tatum may do some work with BBE.

Ok…good to know. I remember him tweeting some pretty anti-SLU stuff several years back, from the official KSDK sports Twitter account no less. I figured that he was a SLU hater, so if he was going to admit that there was SLU news, it was going to be bad news for SLU.

Thornton has said/Tweeted some things about SLU over the years, that has me thinking that if he’s saying “there will be SLU news” the news will be that somebody chose Mizzou over SLU. I hope I’m wrong.

Here’s why:

I’m actually not stunned by it. One of his high school teammates from SLCA had much less impressive stats at Rutgers this year than Nesbitt at SLU, and he declared for the draft last week. Once I saw that happen, I wondered if Nesbitt would also try this.

100%

I don’t claim to know much about Larry Jr’s recruitment, but he and his family were seated in the VIP seats behind the Billiken bench at one of the late regular season games. You typically see recruits in those seats, so I’m thinking that there’s some chance that we’re recruiting him.

I had this exact thought a little while ago.

Eckerle is a doctor, Crawford is a lawyer.

Yes

I’m going. I booked my plane tickets when we were on that winning streak and looking like a solid shot for a top 4 spot, meaning that my flight is Thursday afternoon. I’d like to see us make a run to at least Saturday, but frankly I’m just hoping that we don’t get eliminated before I board the plane at Lambert on Thursday afternoon.

Well shoot…just jinxed myself on this one.

That’s a good call. First of all, Southern is excellent, and second, I don’t think the place I’m planning on going has been mentioned in this thread, which gives me some level of hope that it won’t be too crowded haha.

Exactly. There is nothing I’ve seen, and I’ve seen raw video of the “incident”, that makes me think this is anything other than Dayton being frustrated with the way this game was going. Their bench flipped out over Yuri emphatically grabbing a rebound, or pretty much any time SLU did anything with any kind of strength.

I’d love to be wrong, but I think that is the pick here. I think he visited Tech recently too.

I have no objection to including the arch in a video, as SLU generally tries to sell the aspect that it is located in a city (St. Louis) and the arch is probably the most recognizable place in St. Louis. That said, you’re 100% correct…no one is coming to SLU because of the arch.

As others said, after the dunk, he faced the SLU bench and did a little dance. It was one of the greatest moments of this entire season and I need it on a gif yesterday. I was slightly worried that a few of the players on the bench, especially Okoro, were going to injure themselves from falling over laughing. Totally worth the T.
