moytoy12 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Comparing Nate to vtime. Come on roy, this is getting a little ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 is it? who was the player that nate told us first slu was recruiting or winning with? however we all know the list of players he assured us slu was not recruiting or winning with.

moytoy12 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Yes, it is. vtime is a silly blowhard. Nate's posts, whether you like them or not, are usually well reasoned and informative. Why would nate need to tell us who we are recruiting when we already know? It seems that nate is giving us the remaining part of the story when he tells us who he thinks should be recruited.

Nate Latsch Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 >i just think i would have rather heard who or what soderberg >was doing as opposed to nate constantly telling us what he >wasnt doing. > >for instance, we know for a fact that soderberg spent a lot >of time in the fall recruiting mike kelly, jacob pullen, zac >sweeney and the alexander kid. we never heard details about >those "visits" from nate. instead he wanted to tell us that >soderberg was not visiting josh harrelson and paul eckerle >and how the likes of them would help the billikens. Wow. You're really trying to pull things from the inner depths of your ... um ... mind. Soderberg had missed on most of those kids before anyone mentioned Harrellson or Eckerle. Only Alexander was still in play in the spring. Please keep making things up that I supposed said. >same with the winter time period. we know for a fact he was >recruiting relephorde and mitchell who are both superior >players to nates bunch. Mitchell barely got recruited by anybody, but again you want to make him out to be the second coming of O.J. Mayo. He's a plan D recruit. >plus we know he continued to recruit alexander, added mantas, eberhardt, pettigrew, >and peterson. all again superior players to the suburban >players nate continued to tell us we werent recruiting. we >also know that soderberg got relephorde and mitchell, and >came extremely close on alexander, pettigrew and peterson >and still had the attention of mantas and eberhardt up to his firing. Good thing he signed Mantas and Eberhardt. That probably saved his job. >add in that he was continuing to recruit the "brad five" as >the naysayers liked to call the junior class plus griffey, >to say he wasnt doing anything was obviously wrong. > >now if you want to say he wasnt winning enough, fine. but >dont come here and tell us about who he isnt recruiting or >insinuating the staff wasnt working hard. that is pure b.s. > >but please tell me the last time we had nate tell us who >brad was recruiting instead of who he wasnt? > >he wants to tell us that because of this we should be >assured that is proof that the billikens coaches were not >working hard. > > the truth might be a lot different. there are limits to >the number of contacts a coach can have both specifically >for a recruit and in general. what if the coach visited the >practice of a player on weds night. by ncaa rule he cannot >attend that players game on friday night. if i was a >player, i would be more impressed he came to my practice >where he was up close and personal than sitting in the >crowd.

billiken_roy Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 again nate, with your superior insider knowledge, why didnt you ever tell us who he was recruiting? simple question. we know he was indeed recruiting that list. yet you preferred to inform us of who he wasnt all the time. if you cant see that as negative you are blind.

billiken_roy Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 the point is we dont normally know before true insiders and contact guys like nate is reputed to be. when the general membership brings that information to the table here at billikens.com first, instead of the hard working reporter with all the inside connections, that doesnt seem odd to you? however he sure does like to tell us who we arent getting and not recruiting.

moytoy12 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I can't recall the specific players, but i can recall nate telling us who SLU was either (a) interested in, or ( recruiting. I can also recall nate giving us opinions on players SLU wasn't recruiting. Unfortunately, with Sodie there was a heckuva lot more of "who we aren't getting and not recruiting" as opposed to who we were getting. That was the reality of the situation.

glanderm Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Doesn't Nate cover STL area prep sports (i.e. not JUCOs, not KY, GA, etc. prep sports)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastSide Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 i would like to see Texas and it just so happens that Majerus played Texas non conference nearly every year he was at Utah. I thought that meant it might actually happen. Wanker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy, There are threads on here all the time about this recruit and that recruit from wherever. I've always commented on the local kids I know, or if I here something about an out-of-area kid I'll mention that too. I like the "all the time" generalization, like I've spent the past three years writing about Josh Harrellson and Paul Eckerle, rather than one thread over a month ago. - Nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 well who was the last one you scooped for us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Latsch Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 >well who was the last one you scooped for us? Since when do I work for you? I hear about stuff all the time. Sometimes I post about it. Sometimes I don't. Sometimes I don't post things here because I don't feel like getting ripped by people like you. Last time I wrote something here before it hit the paper was when Dustin Maguire committed. And I got in trouble for doing that. I have more information than I can post here, for various reasons. - Nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidnark Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 You are making stuff up. Nate didn't say that SLU doesn't play big-time programs. (I am certain he is aware that we have played North Carolina and Gonzaga in recent years.) It is quite possible that Majerus will be looking to upgrade the schedule even further.
