billiken_roy Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 go to slubillikens.com and download the media guide (long time). it lists all recent billikens and where they are now. to save you the time, my copy of the 2003-04 media guide says that matt baniak, chris heinrich, kenny brown, justin love, mo jeffers, virgil cobbin, donnie dobbs, dave ferguson, marque perry, and jamal johnson were all playing professionally as of the beginning of the year.

worthington Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 That makes sense. I get it. Who's Paul Nondas! I don't remember that dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quality Is Job 1 Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Paul Nondas is a player from Greece who played for the Billikens for one season in the mid '90s (1996-97?). He didn't play much -- he had to adjust to USA basketball -- and had to leave the team after his first season because of obligations to the Greek Army.

coreyharris Posted March 10, 2004 Author Share Posted March 10, 2004 The list is rather interesting. I find it somewhat ironic that there isn't a single Romar recruit from SLU playing pro ball. That's rather strange considering recruiting was supposed to be one of his strengths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjray Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 I wonder if Fish shall end up being the one Roma recruit at SLU who plays pro ball? Hopefully Fish shall able to earn some coin playing b-ball next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedBlue Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Tatum is playing in Europe as well. http://www.aris-leeuwarden.nl/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicCityBilliken Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 You have to remember Romer was only here three years and he coached many of the players listed. Lattimer> he recruited and coached for 2 years. Baniak> coached his last 2 years Fergerson> coached his last year Heinrich> coached his last 2 years Jeffers> re-recruited and coached his 2 years at SLU Love> coached his last year here Perry> re-recruited and coached him 3 years. I saw Marquis play on last Monday's weekly NBDL game and the way he played and the way the announcers talked about him (NBDL Player of the Month for February), he will be getting a call any day now from a NBA team. Also, it would not surprise me if Fish plays in Europe next year. We know he very eager to play in Spain to be close to his girlfriend.

jjray Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Marque was definitely recruited by Spoon (or, more accurately, his assistants) and not LoRo. I'm not certain about Jeffers but pretty sure he was already in the pipeline as well when LoRo took over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicCityBilliken Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Both Jeffers and Perry had been recruited by Spoon but when Spoon quit both indicated on Romer's radio show that they considered other options and not attending SLU. When that happen Romer and/or his assitants went to Chicago and Arkansas and essentially had to re-recruit them again. Unfortunately, when Romer left, we could do the same with Hollins in LA. I think Hollins would have given us some needed athletism up front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 tar heel is correct. both jeffers and perry had indicated they were having very strong second thoughts when spoon announced he was quitting. coach romar had to convince them to come. while i love coach soderberg, unfortunately he couldnt do the same with hollins.

jjray Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 On this board, we been down the road about Romar's recruiting record at SLU many times (do we really need another trip?). Coach Romar is a fine human being and solid coach but he had poor recruiting results at SLU, I really can't even see how anyone could argue otherwise. One can argue about his intentions or bad breaks or whatever but the results speak for themselves. The post said "Romar recruited" both players. This is false. The fact that he was able to hold on to Marque and Mo after both were recruited by Spoon earns him a pat on the back and nothing more. He took major swings at top recruits throughout his stay in STL and came up dry leaving the scholarships to fall to the Ross Varners and John Seyferts of the world. Yes, if he had stayed, he would have landed a major blue-chip recruit in Hollins ... but he didn't stay. My mind is stuck on Randy Pulley, Jason Edwin and and Floyd McClain as the typical Romar recruits. The one thing I am most thankful to Lorenzo for is recruiting Brad Soderberg as an assistant. I wish Coach Romar well in his career at Washington and I am certain he will do well recruiting on the west coast from that school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillikenButch Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Hollins has some potential, but I do not recall him being a major blue chip prospect. This year (his second) he averages 6.5 points and over 4 rebounds a game for a bad UCLA team in 25 mpg. I saw him play 3 or 4 times and was generally unimpressed. He is still very thin, listed at 6'11 215. He makes Husak look beefy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not catch this distinction. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I would have to agree then that "re-recruiting" is technically not a false statement.
