I know the history. Where are the "great players" in the NBA? Where are the "great teams" with Final Four appearances? I am jealous of great teams, but not yours. Not jealous of teams we beat last year.
So you are not from Carbondale and just a basketball fan, yet you are on a SLU bball message board beating the drum for SIU basketball and you are telling somebody else to "get a life"? ...
i don't get how you really bash SIU seeing that we beat you pretty regularly... and the fact that we're a consistent team in the NCAA tournament... when was the last time you went to the tourney and won a game let alone go to the Sweet 16 if ever?

Any chance that Cassity ruled SIU out due to the Lowry-to-Indiana rumor?
No it doens't have anything to do with that... there is also the Majerus to Indiana rumor so that has nothing to do with it... he told me yesterday that once siu passed over once he wasn't going back... but slu is going to be good for him.. still close to home and loves the new arena...
but a side note... Coach Majerus definitely isnt a neat eater from what Kyle's mother said

Pinckneyville, Illinois Senior Guard Kyle Cassity officially verballed to Saint Louis University Thursday evening
-
what i'm starting to hear is that SLU is very much in contention for Kyle... It's down to three schools SIU, SLU and Michigan... but i've heard things that say SLU is starting to grab his attention a little more and more

Kyle Cassity just lead his Pinckneyville Panthers to the State Semifinals game Friday night in Peoria, IL.... Kyle threw in 24 on the way to the victory over Trenton Wesclin 56-38

well no offense i know i don't know you msn... but seeing that it says you're from Wisconsin you probably have never seen this kid play or know anything about the program at Pinckneyville. Pinckneyville plays team ball, Kyle has played since he was a freshman, started at the point since the first game his sophmore year... won team MVP as a sophmore on a team that went 32-3 and got 4th place at the IHSA State Tournament, was All-Conference for 3 years, Best Defensive Player and Honorable Mention State the Past 2 years and will certainly make All-State this year.... he guards the best player on every team EVERY night. There is no AAU basketball to get his name out besides the little he was able to play last summer when he had to drive 2 and a half hours to St. Louis to play...
That's when he got the small offers.... BEFORE THE SEASON... as the season has gone along numerous schools have began to look at him... i'm not saying that he will definitely go to a Michigan and i know the kid very well and he's very level headed and realistic... he wants to go to slu... he will go D1 most likely mid-major but if Michigan makes an offer it will be hard to turn down. Several school have looked with alot of intrest... Evansville's coach was just interviewed at halftime of the Pinckneyville Senior Night game just moments ago so he is seriously being looked... when Michigan comes to watch you 3 times and is going to have a sit down with you in the smalll town of Pinckneyville, nearly 30 minutes from the closest interstate... the kid must be doing something of note!
Again, I see him going to a SLU, OVC or possibly an MVC school. i do not see him going to a school lower than that... you never know UMKC still looks appeasing because kyle wants the best education and felt real comfortable when he went on his official visit there. but SLU really sticks out with how close it is to home, for some odd reason he wants to play for Majerus so who knows... when he was invited to the Evansville/Creighton game the other night he really enjoyed the Arena and the Facilities... the decision will come down to what is best for this man personally, academically, and lastly basketball... very good and respectable young man that i thought you should know a little back story on...
will he go to Michigan? who knows. Will he go to S. Carolina? still to be seen. Will Vandy offer? that is yet to be seen... but this will be a decision that he will think long and hard about... Kyle is courting these schools just as hard as they are him and i ensure that
just thought it was kinda cool to see that something i said was quoted on another site.... weird

I am a lot more worried about SIU-C than Michigan. I guess he will wait for his season to end and make some visits before he decides what to do.
I was reading on another site that he might be the best defensive player in IL. I think he would be a nice fit here, He might never be a star, but he sure looks like he will be a team guy and a very solid contributor. You need guys like that.
Yes Kyle is going to wait to make a decision until after the season when he can make some visits. The decision is going to come down to SIU, Michigan and SLU... Word is SIU has at least one, possible two players leaving and Kyle would step in and grab up one of the two scholarships but as of right now it's all speculation. Evansville has also offered, but thats' not really being considered
OT - 2 SLU opponents open regular season today.
