HenryB Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 There is a rumor floating around on a Mizzou message board that Suggs may be transferring to St. Charles West to play with Kramer next year - anything to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SluSignGuy Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Doesn't the MHSAA have rules over eligibility and transfers? My sister was a pretty good cross country runner, and when transferred from Viz to Kirkwood, she had to go through a hearing process to allow her to still run competitively.

HenryB Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 The post that I saw indicated that because of the distance between the two schools, eligibility would not be a probem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majerus Magic Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 This rumor has been floating around since Suggs' first year at Washington. It is only by mistake that Scott ended up in the Washington school district. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Latsch Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I think this is some wishful thinking from SCW fans. Scott Suggs and Kramer Soderberg are friends. I wouldn't be completely shocked if Suggs didn't play at Washington High as a senior, but I'd be surprised if Suggs' family moved from its very nice relatively new house in the Washington district. - Nate edit: Before this post gives people the wrong idea, I don't think Scott and Kramer being friends gives SLU any extra boost in the recruitment of Suggs. I think SLU has a chance to land Suggs, just not a very good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate Latsch Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 >nate said, > >"I think SLU has a chance to land Suggs, just not a very >good one." > >because we arent a bcs school. Because the kid has better options than SLU. He could go to Florida and play for national championships. He could go to Illinois and play for a team that competes for the Big Ten title every year and has been to several NCAA tournaments the last few years. He could go to Washington and play in the NCAA tournament for a couple years. He could go to Missouri and play for a coach who is likely to start getting the Tigers to the tournament on a regular basis. - Nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 From what I understand Florida isn't really an option, if he leaves the area UW is the only true contender. The Illini have regressed the past two seasons under Weber. MU will get better under Anderson for sure. But, why would a talented player with NBA dreams want to play in that system? In twenty-two years that system was used at Arkansas and UAB combined it produce just seven NBA players. That is with getting some of the best talent in the country year in and year out to play at Arkansas. If you dream of playing in the NBA you do not want to play in that system.

NashvilleBilliken Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Thanks so much Nate for managing our expectations...I don't know what we'd do without that edit. And that little quote below.."the kid has better options than SLU"...gotta love that nice piece of insight. Honestly, I question why you even continue to post here. You're thoughts on our coach are well documented. You obviously don't think very highly of our program. It appears you aren't a fan of the Billikens as you didn't answer the question below. Perhaps its part of your job to monitor the local college fan base. But if you want to be in the cool crowd that is the STL SLU bashing media, I'd suggest you hang out with your buddy Bernie in the Pressbox...you guys can slobber over Mike Anderson all day long.

moytoy12 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 ...with what Nate said? A kid who is getting looks by BCS schools will probably choose one of them instead of SLU. And you guys start giving Nate grief as if he just shot your dog. Reality check, this is SLU...not Illinois...not even Missouri in terms of recognition. Who did Nate bash in this thread?

NashvilleBilliken Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 It's the collective work for the last 6 months. As far as I'm concerned, there is no "better option" than SLU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billikan Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Nate, you now repeatedly post negative things about SLU and its coaches--as a media person why do you bother coming on this board? You are obviously not a SLU fan because if you were you would see that there are real positives about SLU that can be sold to a recruit. Why come in and try to undermine the coach? There must be other message boards where you can go and be positive for their teams because you obviously do not like SLU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moytoy12 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Yawn. Same childish response from Billikan. What was wrong with what Nate said? Further, roy informed you last week that Nate is merely doing freelance stuff, so get off of your "as a media person, why come here" kick. Why is Nate not a SLU fan even if he would prefer a different coach? How did Nate undermine the coach? Suggs probably does have better options then SLU (gasp).

Billikan Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 You are the one who is always complaining about recruiting. Now you say we need a "reality check" and should not expect to sign good players. Nate's whole attitude is that SLU is not a good choice for a good local player is ridiculous.

davidnark Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I don't think Nate has ever claimed to be a SLU fan. He is a high school and college basketball fan and reporter who is providing information and opinions on the fan website of the only local D1 team. We are all free to disagree with his opinions, but there is no reason to crticize his providing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moytoy12 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Yes, our expectations shouldn't be so out of whack that we should expect to beat out BCS schools for a presumably high quality recruit. I'm sorry if that is crazy for you. You live in a dream world. Ummm...i missed where Nate said that SLU is not a good choice for a good local player. I did see where he mentioned that there are better basketball options for Suggs. If true and Florida, Illinois, Missouri and a few other BCS schools are after Suggs, you don't think those are better basketball options? put yourself in the shoes of Suggs. I believe Nark's post in another thread is dead on, the philosophy and system that Sodie has in place (assuming there is a system in place) is not a solid one.

Billikan Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 If you support what Nate just posted then you are in the camp of those who do not want SLU to succeed. We need to support the idea--which is accurate--that regardless of the talent of a player SLU can be a good place for him. Your constant negative posts are boring!

moytoy12 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Yep, i just don't want SLU to succeed...you figured me out. No one is saying that SLU is not a good place for these players...comprehend what you are reading. Speaking from the perspective of the recruit and purely in a basketball sense, I support the notion that there are better options for high quality recruits than SLU (that doesn't mean SLU is a bad option).

Billikan Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Well, it that is the case, and I know that is the case with many of our negative posters, then I would like to see the people admit that they are not SLU fans. As I see it this is a FAN website, not a blog for people to bash the Billikens because they have their own personal agendas or they are trying to hurt the school or the program.

moytoy12 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Someone forgot to take his medication this morning. All of these people have nothing better to do than bring SLU down. LOL. Yep...i'm sure that's it. To quote a great comedy, "Grow up Peter Pan, Count Chocula." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billikan Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 You have obviously never been involved in recruiting for anything. If you tell your best prospects that they have "better options" if they go somewhere else then how can you expect to succeed. The answer is simple, if you have that attitude then you are the one that is willing to accept mediocrity--the bash you put on other posters. And worse, it that attitude is pervasive, then we will never get any good players. The whole premise is ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 moytoy, sorry for chiming in late on this i agree with your stance in this thread 100% nate, please do not stop providing information AND opinions on this board objectivity and reality are not lost on all of us who do support slu and who do want success and who do not think everything is rosy all the time sometimes it has to rain to get flowers and if you eat a nice meal you will still have to ##### later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
