NH Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Derrick and Ben over at HTB had some tweets lately that some on the board may appreciate the info. Apparently there is some sort of Billiken related news dropping tonight. Not sure the scale or subject. Patrick Ingram, a 6'3" junior from Indianapolis, is down to Loyola, Iowa and SLU. He will visit SLU August 12th. We've offered wing Shavon Shields from KC. (http://heardthisblog.com/?p=600) If you have Twitter, follow them at http://twitter.com/#!/HeardThisBlog O.T. Xavier offered Belleville wing Malcolm Hill. Not a fan of X stepping into our area, that's a tough school to compete with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is my first instinct that RM is retiring....does this make me a true billiken fan? Just expecting any news to be the worst...haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just expecting any news to be the worst...hahaThey also tweeted a couple of days ago that Coach Alex Jensen had called a 6'9" Power Forward from DeSmet named Nolan Berry. You might hear about him in the coming years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might hear about him in the coming years. My initial hope was that it involved him, but I'll remain skeptical until any potential news is actually reported. Hoping it's soon. HTB, where you at?

jbizzle09 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 You might be right. I'm thinking it may be at least that Rick isn't going to Canada. Looks like they are delaying the announcement. Seems like they were asked not to spill any news at this time. I wonder how serious it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboy Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I'm guessing it is a commitment. Not positive tho. -can the school comment on a commitment prior to loi being signed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeSmetBilliken Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Just me thinking here, but I'd be surprised if it is Majerus related. HeardThis has suggested that they are being asked to refrain from releasing information at this point. If I had to guess, it has something to do with recruiting. First of all, HeardThis seems to primarily cover recruiting. Second, while I appreciate what they've done thus far, if it was something big (i.e Majerus, no pun intended) , I wouldn't expect HeardThis to be breaking the story. If something big from a non-recruiting perspective was happening, the TV and Post-Dispatch sports guys would be breaking the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARon Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I can't see how it would be recruiting related. The school can't be allowed to announce anything official about next year's recruits can it? So I'm thinking it could be: -Majerus -Schedule -Investigation of violations I'd say maybe tv deal but it's much too early in the year for that.

Tonka Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Maybe they should check before they give a tease.Couldn't agree more! You shouldn't speak unless you know for sure information will be released when you say it will be released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but it might not be the school that told them not to release it. Im thinking someone was ready to verbal but has decided to wait and told them to not announce it yet.

BWeixScout Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 This is bugging me no end. I keep checking back to see if something was announced. I too am worried that Rick is gonna pack it in. I keep reading that people are worried and curious. There is information that I'm not being authorized to announce at this time. It is not earth-shattering. My apologies for "teasing" it, but I was told multiple times that I was good to go, only to be told a bit later to hold off for a bit. Just keep an eye out and hopefully it'll occur some time soon! Once again, sorry to cause a ruckus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
