moytoy12 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 But one thing is sure John Stamos will be happy that the Bills are recruiting Greece. Great point. I'm sure uncle jesse hooked him up with Stephanie Tanner during a visit to SLU. That girl loves to party and she's a great recruiting asset.

Westy03 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Did I find the correct guy? EMMANOUIL TSELENTAKIS ? If so, it says his height is 1.92 meters which would be 6'3" ? He's a guard? Wasn't the Greek guy supposed to be a big?I have no clue. I googled that name and thats what stats came up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWeixScout Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Is this kid taking the 13th scholarship or is he for the following year? Sorry to hijack the thread with actual basketball talk... His numbers arent very impressive He is for this upcoming year (Class of '11 essentially) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetorch Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Greek was always a guard. Billikan posted a few weeks ago that he was a 6'3 or 4 combo guard. From the looks of it he seems to be strictly off ball for now definitely a wing. Seems to be a match for Salecich, hopefully with a little more skill. I don't think he played HS ball in the States. Majerus always said his mom was an American player who played pro in Greece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOSLU68 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I bet he is happy to have an excuse to leave Greece... He played in Singapore Tournament 2010 USA came in 4th Average points totals were often things like 35-29 1.92 meters tall and plays 2/3 tough defensively hopefully a Femi Jon type Couple of years ago we were in Greece and all the waterfront cafes had basketball games on TV. If you have a job it is absolutely beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't surprise me if he redshirted or was one of the last guys off the bench this season. Again, I hope i'm wrong and wish the kid the best, but I do not have high expectations for his freshman year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if his family has a reputation for world class sports-maybe the real target is a sister for Shimmy and RM is helping out. That is as good a speculation and she might be the next Theresa Lisch and make Jimbo happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy to be wrong on this.Given how deep our backcourt already is, anything you get from him this year and next is probably a bonus. I don't know jack about this guy, but hopefully he'll be good enough to stay on the roster and develop into a productive player by the time he's an upperclassmen. In truth, that's how it should be every year moving forward. Freshman should not be leaned on they way this program has over the past 3 years.

Agreed - we need to start being like other good programs - not needing to rely on freshmen for the bulk of our minutes. We need to be developing them for our system and type of atmosphere we want on the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't we have a one of our biggest posters send his daughter to Rose-Hullman? Maybe that poster can enlighten us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b.hayes Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 We didn't get Ellenson. We are "in the running" according to HTB. Pretty sure what he meant was more like "He looks like he would be a good get". I don't think anyone who is paying attention to Ellenson thinks we've already inked him.

Anybody have an extra-large eyeroll smiley? Roy, we get that Rose-Hulman is a great school, and I'm sure you're very proud of your daughter, but you don't have to be the President of the Mensa society to go there. Calm down. http://www.rose-hulman.edu/admissions/application/transfer.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
