p diddy Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 visits on the horizon. Some you have already mentioned. Mantas Grieskanas (Three Rivers C.C.) 6'7" Barry Eberhardt (Coffeyville J.C.)6'6" 250 Johnny Harris (Chipola J.C.) 6'7" 250 The Pettigrew kid from kentucky 6'6" The Jeff Peterson visit has already been discussed. - rodney alexander was still a outside possibility, but a relative (uncle or something) pretty much took control of the situation and is pushing for high major offers. actually, that was done in the fall until ol' unc stepped in. bad boyz for life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basketbill Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Thanks Pdiddy.....are we looking at two or three potential signees or is it still 1 pg and one big man? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianstl Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 According to powermizzou alexander is now looking hard at MU. I guess the rumors about people transfering out of MU are true. This really sucks. Alexander would have been a good fit here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorB Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I may have missed this while strolling down the Via Ghibellini in Florence -- but this is the first time I have heard about Johnny Harris (Chipola J.C.) 6'7" 250. Any further info on this guy?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StLouBlue Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I included some info I found on him on this post from last night. Looks like the post is already getting buried by the other monster threads though. http://www.billikens.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/d...ewmode=threaded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NashvilleBilliken Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Thanks for the info Diddy. I'd like Grieskanas and Pettigrew. I can live without a PG this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLUDrew Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 That certainly is good news, but I get the impression everyone is a DISTANT second to UK if UK offers. This kid would be a great sign for the staff, and maybe he would come here with a chip on his shoulder to prove to Kentucky that they missed out on a great player. Then again he may spend four years depressed that he never got to live out his dream of playing for UK. Wouldn't it be unreal to hear someone say they grew up dreaming of playing for SLU? This article appeared on Rivals a few days ago: Elizabethtown (Ky.) star Steffphon Pettigrew was pretty sure he wouldn't be playing for Tubby Smith. The ex-Kentucky coach expressed interest in the state's top scorer, but it became apparent that a scholarship offer wasn't coming. Steffphon Pettigrew Pettigrew now knows he will not play for Smith. What is less certain, however, is where he stands with Kentucky during the coaching search. Pettigrew says he's watching the news around the Kentucky program, but he isn't neglecting other business. "I'm looking," he said, "but right now I'm looking at schools that are coming down to see me all the time, so I'm really focusing on them right now." He has to wait and see who Kentucky hires before thinking seriously about the Cats, but he remains hopeful that the new coach will take notice. "I kind of wanted to be coached under Tubby all my life, but if he has to go then that's what is best for him," Pettigrew said. "Hopefully the new coach that comes in will start looking at me a little more. " Despite being a Kentucky fan, Pettigrew (6-foot-5, 210) said he would not jump at an offer from the new coach, and he won't wait forever. Pettigrew is in the process of setting up visits with UMass and Saint Louis, and he has strong interest in Western Kentucky and Duquesne. Is there room for Kentucky to sneak back in the picture? "Well, UK is in the top four, but right now it would have to be between Western, UMass, Duquesne, and Saint Louis." As of late, WKU has been coming on strong. "I've been talking to (Coach Darrin Horn) a lot and I went down and played pick up with their players. I really enjoyed that. And then he came down and watched my pick up games today." In the meantime, Pettigrew still has some hoops to play. He will play in the Kentucky Derby Festival Classic and the Kentucky vs. Ohio all-star game. He will also tryout for the Kentucky All-Stars this summer, and he is a favorite to win Kentucky Mr. Basketball. Pettigrew averaged 33.4 points and 13.4 rebounds during his senior season.

Cowboy Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 is there a limit on how many kids you can bring to campus for official visits? and what constitutes an official vs any other visit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NashvilleBilliken Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 "and what constitutes an official vs any other visit?" I asked this question a few weeks ago. An official visit is paid for by the University. Unofficial is by the kid. I believe a student can only take so many official visits, but I don't know the restrictions by the school. I've never heard of any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLUDrew Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I believe each recruit can take 5 official visits and a school can have as many as 12 official visits during a particular year, but I may be a little off in my numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quest Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 We've already named a building on campus after the kid...what more can you do for a recruit????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillikenTX Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Kelly might ask for his release following the ordeal with Alford. We were after this kid before he inked with Iowa, any chance of Brad and company going after him again? http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/high...t.ap/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moytoy12 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Sure doesn't sound like it. sounds like this kid is either Iowa or UNM bound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidlee Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Here are the rankings of the JC players from Rivals 125: Griskenas #22 Eberhardt #36 Harris #61 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTIME Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 The school pays for an official visit. The kid or his guardians fund their unofficial visit as I understand it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basketbill Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Probably a big difference from 36 to 61. I would really hope MG or Eberhardt verbals after these trips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
