doowop Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 If the rumors of WR and CS leaving are true and you knew that Porter, Crossland, and Cheivous? (spelling) wanted to sign with SLU, what two would you give scholarships to and why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVBilliken Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 You got to be kidding ................ Porter and either of the other two. Leaning toward Chievous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 You got to be kidding ................ Porter and either of the other two. Leaning toward Chievous. Is Porter a reality? Or following Anderson to AK? I'd take Porter and be smiling with either of the other 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 If you told me I could have Crossland and Chievous or just Porter I would take the just Porter option. Hopefully someone is making some calls to Momma Porter letting her know SLU is a short trip for her family to see her son play and a better option than that mess in Columbia right now.

SLURadioBoy Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Do we know where we stand with Crossland and Chevious? I remembered reading a month or so ago that Chevious really enjoyed his visit to SLU and was impressed by the arena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Total non-sequitur. There is no "choice" to be had as regards Porter. Unless of course Bernie Misklaz says we have a choice in which case my 2 picks would be Porter and Porter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow thanks for that breaking news. I am glad you can read the recruiting sites. I know the chances of Porter coming to SLU are about zero. That doesn't mean you don't try to make another run at him right now when one of his top choices is a total mess and it is very important to his mom and family for him to play close to home.

What are you posting as two people now? I wasn't speculating on anything happening. Never said he was coming to SLU. All I did was say that I hope someone from the staff was staying in contact with Porter and his family. Here is the post I made and please feel free to point out any speculation about anything in the post. If you told me I could have Crossland and Chievous or just Porter I would take the just Porter option. Hopefully someone is making some calls to Momma Porter letting her know SLU is a short trip for her family to see her son play and a better option than that mess in Columbia right now.

Guest BillikenReport Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I know the chances of Porter coming to SLU are about zero.

The odds of Porter choosing SLU are about the same as the Billikens winning the national title next season. It is possible, but not likely. One of the problems with Porter is that he has never really acknowledged SLU as an option despite whatever work the coaching staff has done to recruit him. When I spoke with Porter last summer, during a break from SLU's team camp, he never even mentioned the Billikens as a possibility. So I'm just putting this out there for the fans who think it is a realistic possibility. Because I don't think it is. But if Porter changes course and picks the Billikens, I'll predict that the Billikens will win the national championship next season. Crossland and Chievous, if those are still the top options, would both add needed size and athleticism to the mix and make SLU a better all-around team.

Nate, I think the chances are about as low as you do. I just don't think it hurts to have someone on the staff staying in contact with him and his family. The Mizzou situation is a mess right now and playing close to home is important to the family. It, also, never hurts to establish a solid relationaship with a family that seems to be loaded with talented basketball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
