billiken_roy Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 jeremy felton will be a sophomore at mineral area. this young man is just a flat out stud. the fact he had to go to a juco of course brings up academic concerns and the fact that former mi$$ouri player, corey tate is the head coach of course also doesnt bode well. i wonder if there is any word on jeremy's inclination?

Quality Is Job 1 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I've met and talked to Corey Tate, and I'm fairly confident that he has no ill will towards SLU. If SLU wants one of his players and said player is interested in SLU and there are no other "obviously better" schools in the mix, he'll encourage the player to attend SLU. He can't send them all to Missouri. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bg Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 The last time I talked to Jeremy (May), he was more focused on the 2008/09 season than on where he's headed post-MAC. He a great kid who had a wonderful year last year both on and off the court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NashvilleBilliken Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Let's start shutting the door on recruits because of who's coaching them. I think you and I both know that an advisor/coach can have a significant impact on where a player attends college. Luckily, Thicks says that won't necessarily be the case here. What position does the kid play? I remember hearing his name, but can't recall our interest level. Was there any? Was it mutual? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it mutual? he is an extremely athletic power forward. probably only 6'6" tall though. in high school his out court skills werent anything above average though. it is all about the high wire act with jeremy. we had no interest because there was no way he was going to qualify. and he had no d-1 interest for the same reason that i am aware of. he could have went to indian hills but wanted to stay closer to home.

Tate has a good record and no "warts" that I can find. I wouldn't reject a player because of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoop Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Did he say SLU was showing interest? No. I did tell him I would have to cheer against him when he played the bills. Sounds like SIU is on him pretty tight. Tate said he was contacted about the assistant position at SLU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOSLU68 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Thanks. Perhaps it's a case of a former Tiger not wanting to be associated with the Bills. Who knows?

brianstl Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Didn't respond. Wanted to stay at MAC.I don't buy that for a second. No JUCO coach doesn't respond to a D-1 coaching chance. It just doesn't happen, especially with what SLU is paying now. Might he have investigated and decided he was not intrested at this thim? Yes, but there is no way he didn't respond.

billiken_roy Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 if corey tate would become a billiken asst coach i would consider that the ultimate victory between the two programs. a successful juco coach picking his alma mater's geographic rival to coach at. and if corey brought felton with him in the deal all the better. nothing could be sweeter than to slap the tiger$ with a theft of an alumni.

The tiger fans would be happy he got a job and a chance to prove himself at a lesser school. They would also figure that they could hire him away at any time. Bills fans happy. Tiger fans happy.

tenthyearsenior Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Who cares?I post how I feel the average tiger fan would feel about Corey coming to SLU. Roy thinks it shows a Tiger bias. I want to know how he thinks they would feel. How does a "real" SLU fan think they would feel? That is the point of the question. Sorry, you have trouble keeping up. And I thought tiger fans were slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
