billiken_roy Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 soderberg hesitated because he wanted grimes first. he had one scholarship to give and wanted grimes. grimes commits shortly thereafter for mi$$ouri, soderberg switched gears and shaw visits slu for an unoffical visit. soderberg offers him a scholarship and shaw turns him down. shortly after that he announces for siu and painter. if orange is right and shaw wanted to come he had the opportunity.

Bottom line is another player Soderberg hasn't closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schasz Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 I suppose one could spin this anyway you want but bottom line SLU lost out on two good recruits and that is unacceptable to this Billiken fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjray Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 >>soderberg hesitated because he wanted grimes first.<< At the time, I never thought we had a realistic shot at Grimes. There were plenty of other high profile programs trying to get in on Grimes and we looked to be a 2nd tier option praying for a hometown deal. With his brother then at Creighton, I didn't even hold out hope we were at the top of the 2nd tier heap. Withholding the offer to Shaw seemed like the low percentage play at the time.
