Weren't we in the running for him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box and Won Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 When did he ever live in the St. Louis area (I heard Rammer mention it)? The Bonawelding web site lists his home town as Houston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stlsfinest Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 When did he ever live in the St. Louis area (I heard Rammer mention it)? The Bonawelding web site lists his home town as Houston. He went to Belleville West as a junior, but moved to Texas right before his senior season. I'm not sure if he was even healthy/eligible that junior season. He blossomed down in Texas, and continued to develop while playing JUCO. He did an interview with STL Hoops Insider back in September. He did express interest in playing at SLU. One of the reasons he chose St. Bonaventure is because his family can come see him when he plays SLU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taj79 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 WENT TO JUCO ------ I would assume that little hiccup leaves us out of the running for 97% of the kids going that route. I know this is a facetious comparison but if the kid gets two years in on his welding degree at French Lick CC, he ain't coming here unless we have a welding degree he can move into. There are rules. With Conklin, Thompson and Reed, along with the second year of Eberhardt, along with the advances I am seeing in Knollmeyer, I'm of the opinion that our issues with the four (or lack thereof) will be coming to an end in the near term.

mcglotherirvin Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 you may be right that grades were an issue. however, lets not just assume that. remember, the person we took instead of carter was eberhart, who also was a JUCO. recall a discussion on this board around this time last year. some seemed to think UB was not recruiting him because he was not slu caliber. in fact, people thought he had found a great place for himself at st. bonaventure.
