crymdg2 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Does anyone have any update as to how his visit went this weekend? I saw him sitting a couple rows behind the bench during the game Saturday night, and he was also at the girl's game on Sunday afternoon sitting with Angres and Brad. Any news/updates?

moytoy12 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Out of curiosity, i went to scout.com and it doesn't list SLU as a school with interest. I don't particularly trust these websites, but thought i would pass it along. I took a look and neither does rivals. Just passing on what i read, nothing more, nothing less.

crymdg2 Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 The fact that he was on campus for an official visit seems to me anyways that we have a legitimate interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moytoy12 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I would agree with that. Maybe those sites aren't updated regularly, who knows... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SShoe Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 If my memory serves me currect, Relphorde wants to stay in the midwest somewhat near Chicago and be in a major city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box and Won Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Brad sounded very upbeat about the visit this past weekend - I guess he was referring to Relphorde's visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Check this link out from last month. This sounds promising. http://www.chicagohoops.com/articles1/relphordejan.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NashvilleBilliken Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 So, what's the difference between an Official and Unofficial visit? I know you can only take a certain number of Official visits...but what makes it official? I guess it's a good sign when somebody from well outside the area takes both an unofficial and official visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeSmetBilliken Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 My understanding is that on an official visit, the school picks up the tab for everything. Unofficial I think is more of the sort of visit that the rest of us took when we were looking at colleges, in that we visited the school, maybe spoke with a faculty member, toured the campus, then left not too longer after.

DoctorB Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Unofficial= a kid can get in his car today, right now, and drive over and hang out on campus. Come everyday, in fact, if he wants to. Official= $$$ paid by the school, by invitation. A kid coming all the way down with his Dad from Chicago to visit and see a game -- I take that to be a strong sign of interest. Sounds like Wisconsin (current #1) has interest in Relphorde but has not offered. Yet. Hey Marcus -- we want to be your school! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SluSignGuy Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Long time no see DeSmet... Will you be in Atlantic City? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeSmetBilliken Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Nope, no Atlantic City for me. First of all, I am still looking for a full-time job, so I have been working in retail while I continue to look. As a result, I don't have the vacation time to go to Atlantic City. Now, even if I was in a position where I would have the time to go, I still wouldn't be going because the Athletic Department will NOT be sending the SLU Band to either of the A-10 conference tournaments this year. We normally ride a bus to the tournament, and to ride a bus all the way to Atlantic City was considered to be way too long by all sides. Our next hope was that the athletic department would fly us out there, but due to budgetary reasons, that idea was nixed as well. So once again, the SLU Band will NOT be in attendance at the A-10 tournament this year. I'm sorry if any SLU fans going are disappointed.

SluSignGuy Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Good luck on the Job hunt...Something that stresses all recent college grads. That stinks about the Band.. This is the first that I have heard of it I think. I was hoping to see a bunch of SLU people in Atlantic City, but the distance seems to be a factor.

slu72 fan Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 So, has he been to campus twice? Once, in Januaray, as the attached post indicates and last weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
