Guest BillikenReport Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Nate, whats your opinion of Wiss, and who do you think will be some of the stronger high school basketball teams in the area this year? I think I've said several times I like Wiss and his potential. I remember him as a 6-5 eighth grader. At the SLU Elite Camp, he showed OK against some decent bigs, including Gonzaga commit Sam Dower and Ivo Baltic. He needs to continue to improve, just like everybody else. I don't know if he has any D-1 offers or not, but he should. I've always seen him as a guy with the raw skills to be a nice player in a couple years, so I think he'd be a good fit for a mid-major type program that can redshirt him and work with him and get him stronger.

Guest BillikenReport Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I found this on the ESPN recruiting site: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/...tory?id=2639514 It talks about how the grading system is now different than in the past. So J-Smith's grade is not on the same level as all of the past recruits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate, I may have missed it, but in quickly reading the article I didn't see where it says they recently changed their rating system. In fact, I recall reading a similar explanation of their system a year or two ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Who invited Debbie Downer? i think i would take my chances with a roster full of 87-89's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NH Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 i think i would take my chances with a roster full of 87-89'son a slightly different note it would be huige if we could open up a pipeline in ohio. Rivals lists us as recruiting Allen Payne who looks to be a good player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinfootes Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I certainly don't follow recruiting as closely as many on this board, but is beating out Ohio University a good thing? True, it's not like SLU beat out Ohio State on this one. However, I'm willing to give RM a chance to pick his guys here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinfootes Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 wouldnt you rather us pick him up now before the big offers roll in (ala matt vogrich) Ummmmm...I'm not saying he shouldn't have been offered. I believe I typed something about letting RM pick his guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Majerus thinks hes good dont worry about what scout.com thinks because a lot of these players have blown up after majerus started likin em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xfactor9600 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Considered is the key word. He was never offered a scholly. I'm thrilled to have this kid but it would be a mistake if anybody said we stole him from X (not saying you did). A nice pick up for SLU. Seems to fill a need, which is always nice to do, as opposed to stockpiling players at one position. I don't recall if X offered him a scholarship or not. We've only got two (if you think Derrick Brown is going Pro after this year) or one left for 2009. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've only got two (if you think Derrick Brown is going Pro after this year) or one left for 2009. http://www.nbadraft.net/ I know these projections are going to change a lot by the time the draft rolls around, but they project Derrick Brown to be selected on the fringe of the lottery. I'm curious to see how much he blows up this year- or doesn't. It's his team now and their success this year will have a lot to do with how he responds to the challenge. But unlike Liddell or Lisch on our team, he's surrounded with solid depth at every position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL Hoops Insider Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 STLHI: my bad. I talked to him today and found out that he does prefer "DJ." Yeah, I knew I was right. I didnt respond because it wasnt a big enough deal to argue about. I have a question about some Berkeley guys that I think you can answer, check your PM's.
