slu72 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Ok, UB, he's outta there. Now here's your chance to steal a decent recruit whose ideal for SLU both athletically and academically. If this doesn't happen, it will be real interesting to hear why not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moytoy12 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Jesus '72! Why don't you just call Miller at Xavier next time and let him know what is going on because i'm sure the only way he heard about the Alford/Peterson connection was on billikens.com! While you're at it, why don't you throw some puppies in the Mississippi, it's obvious you hate SLU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StLouBlue Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 If SLU & Brad land Peterson will this count as Brad getting a quality recruit or will this be because Alford left and any coach at SLU could have gotten him? Just wondering what the spin will be if Peterson verbals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slu72 Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 I will spew nothing but positives if UB signs this kid, who by the way said his decision may come this weekend. I don't care how UB does it, or how fate intercedes to his benefit. God knows, the guy deserves a break or two in this recruiting game. You mean it's not ok to throw puppies into the river?

slu72 Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 Brian, you think we dislike UB so much, we'd take a cheap shot at him for actually landing what sounds to be a really good player? Not I. As stated before, he only gets bashed for what he loses; be it winnable games, expected good seasons, or signable recruits. A signable recruit? Anyone he goes after who is not being hotly pursued by a major, eg a 4 or 5 star is an unsignable. UB would get huzzahs all around if he signed one, I expect he won't, so no black marks if the kid goes elsewhere. I think that's more than fair.

moytoy12 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 "You mean it's not ok to throw puppies into the river?" Oh no, that's fine. It's just that throwing them into the Mississipi is so undignified. I agree. UB needs a recruiting break and i hope this was the one that can help propel him. It's go time UB, let's get it done this weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 We have read your promises on here before about changing your tone. Let's see if this one sticks if Peterson gives us a verbal. Jeff we really do want you here and our coach is not going to be interviewing for any higher profile jobs in the next few weeks. Alford has already left Iowa and who knows where Miller will be by the signing date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 i've seen enough "lisch and liddell would have come to slu anyway" posts to believe otherwise. blue is correct. soderberg wont win on this guy. peterson picks elsewhere it will be soderberg screwed up and if he signs it will be alford gave him to us.

moytoy12 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Just like how people weren't supportive of Relphorde, right? But hey, establish your position now to hedge your bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 moytoy, while i am not including you, i have seen a number of the abc label relephorde insignificant or a probable role player simply because he was not a fall signee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufanskip Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I know a guy who's sisters boyfriends second cousin knows a guy that gets his hair cut in DC by the same barber that Peterson uses. It is my understanding that he is a little upset that Brad had to watch him play 7 times before offering. He has wanted to be a Billiken since his favorite uncle looks a little like a Billiken. Despite that childhood love of all things Billiken, it looks as if 7 visits may have been 1 too many. I understand that he had a preset limit of 5 assesments he was allowing any coach, he gave Brad the benefit of the doubt and the 6th look-see as a freebie, but the 7th just may have crossed the line.
