slufan13 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Maybe this is just the negativity that comes with being a Billiken fan but I'm not loving our chances on either one of these guys. I worry about Lancona falling in love with playing the Big 12 despite the fact that it's not that good of a conference. Kind of the same thing as the Pac 12 which he originally committed to. Randy O might want to be the star of his team from day 1. I wish he had committed right after his visit or after we had the in house visit earlier this week. Get these 2 guys and it's really a pretty incredible recruiting class considering the late start on recruiting. We'll find out in a couple years just how good this class actually is, but adding these 2 makes it look pretty good on paper. It does seem like we're in the final 2 or 3 for both of these guys and that's a promising sign. I guess I've just seen too many unlucky things happen in my time as a fan. Hopefully we get them both. 50% chance we get them. 50% chance we don't if my math is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Weber has proven he can recruit...now coaching that talent is another thing altogether.I disagree. weber won consistently with lesser talented players at siu. he got to the championship game at illinois with bill self's players. the illinois recruits after that near national championship were maybe talented on paper but questionable character and heart. they (the players) ultimately did no better with groce some big wins, but seemed like just as many disappointing bad losses. i say weber can coach, he cant recruit at a high level.

RiseAndGrind Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Best comparison so far, based on the video, scouting reports, and raw numbers (6-8, maybe 6-9 and 225) I've seen. He plays taller than Cody. In fact, we always say how Majerus teams were listed shorter than they really are; Cody's the one who always struck me as listed taller. 6-8? I never believed it. Chris Sloan tweeted at him. Funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMM28 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Agreed Roy. I feel like I've said this before. Weber ran into problems when he stopped recruiting players to his system and started recruiting by stars and rankings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair points although when you say he won with lesser talents at SIUC I would argue that it was comparable to or superior to the rest of the Valley schools.

Bobby Metzinger Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Jon Severe, a 3-star SG from Brooklyn, was set to choose between Pitt, West Virginia, Wake Forest, Rutgers, and Fordham. He chose Fordham. I wonder how fans of those other 4 schools feel about "losing" a recruit to Fordham. Denzel promised him a walk-on part in his next film.

Pistol Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Looking for updates from the last couple days: -Saintil was asked if he had made a decision by the coach of Berkeley College (NJ) Men's Basketball, and whether he'd be back this summer. All he said was "na I didn't make a decision yet and i hope so coach thanks !" Nothing else really with him, except that prom is this weekend. I'm officially a massive creep. -Strawberry had a few Tweets after his visit: Joel Austin @ja7608 23 Apr “@AustinMcbroom: Shout out to my Cali dude @jstrawberry_034 on his visit at SLU. Hear Ramsey now. Jordair to Jordan back to Jordair. JAMTIME Retweeted by jordan strawberry jordan strawberry @jstrawberry_034 23 Apr Time to fly home ✈ had a good visit out here! -Tanner Lancona - as stated before - says that he's deciding by May 5th. Most on Twitter say that SLU, Kansas State, Colorado State, BYU, and Penn State are the fresh offers. We know that SLU and K-State will be the visits, in that order. Colorado State is trying to squeeze one in and K-State is visiting his home this week. He seems excited for the STL barbecue: tanner lancona @tjlancona 12h @SLU_Billikens @SLU_Official thanks everyone really appreciate all the words. I will hit up the BBQ for sure! Ok @SLU_Billikens @SLU_Official thanks for the hot spots to hit up. Sounds like a very cool city. -Brett Jolly visited Air Force and is back: beej @B_jjolly 23 Apr Air Force was pretty sweet.... Back to SLC in the morning ! http://instagram.com/p/YeNigANVF9/ -Someone asked Daishon Knight whether he has a top 3. His answer: "yes." -Still silent on the Yacoubou front. Nothing new for Randy O, just the upcoming Miami-Ohio and Seton Hall visits we've discussed. And that Miami's coach went to see him at home yesterday: Ben Weixlmann @BWeixScout 13h Miami-Ohio head coach John Cooper was in California to check out 2013 PG Randy Onwuasor tonight.
