Bishop Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 According to Justin Albers, an IU basketball reporter, SLU is in the final 3 for guard Remy Abell who will transfer from IU @Justin_Albers A source told me former IU guard Remy Abell has narrowed his list to Xavier, St. Mary's and St. Louis. #iubb Would be a GREAT get. Remy played decent minutes for IU this year and would have been in the top 6 of the rotation for IU again this year. Great defender, lots of energy, streaky jumper but can get to the rim.

The Wiz Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I mentioned this earlier.... SLU.............A+ Mia of OH....D Mia OH is on par with Fordham....basketball wise. Can you imagine a recruit trying to decide between Fordham and SLU. I know there are many factors that go into the decision ....campus, academics, sorority girls, etc (not sure of the order ) but if basketball is driving the decision bus there should be no contest.

AlumniFan Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Yeah, we're a lot more aggressive than Miami fans, apparently. I wouldn't put too much stock in it; Daishon Knight retweeted a LOT of Murray State fans' tweets before committing to Illinois State. Then again, he also retweeted whenever an Illinois State sorority girl offered sexual favors in exchange for an LOI. I'm still waiting to retweet those kinds of offers...and waiting...and waiting....

RiseAndGrind Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I'm just going to assume that SLU is now involved with every transfer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JettFlight5 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I'm just going to assume that SLU is now involved with every transfer. I think the CBS list was over 400. I don't know if Tarkanian or Calipari could fit all of them under the limit. Seems there are more transfer rumblings this year (and higher quality players) than recent memory.

Bishop Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 do we know why he is transferring? Wants to get more minutes somewhere. I think he also felt Crean was recruiting over him with Troy WIlliams and Stanford Robinson coming in. IU is going to start 'rebuilding' now that Oladipo, Watford, Hulls and Zeller left and I think Crean made it clear the frosh were going to get their shot from Day 1. Hes not going to be a star offensive player but IMO if you can bring in a transfer who has defended Big Ten caliber guards for 2 years - and done it well - you grab them.

RiseAndGrind Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 So, to recap: Onwuasor: SLU, Miami (OH), & Pitt (?)

RiseAndGrind Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I highly doubt this. I was partly joking, due to the number of names that keep showing up listing SLU, but I don't think it's inconceivable. He seems to be the lowest rated guard that SLU is pursuing. Of course, I don't think SLU is such a strong choice that they have the ability to tell him to "wait it out."

slufan13 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Abell is the ideal fit for the last scholarship in my opinion. Evens out the classes a bit. He's a point guard and could probably be able to be counted on to come in and contribute from day 1 after McCall and Jett graduate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had him in for a visit and we went out to Cali to visit him so it would seem the staff views Randy as a big priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duff Man Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 It's hard keeping track of which possible recruits have what going for them, but I feel like we need to get a PG, not a SG, recruited this year. If we don't then next year (2014) we will only have AM and a FR as PGs. That make RO the priority for me. Agreed. i am not afraid of a freshmen pg. we make it a priority and bring in a kwamain mitchell or a marque perry or josh fisher as our freshmen point guard, that would be just fine with me. granted it puts loads of pressure on the staff to get a high quality kid next year, but thus far the staff has shown the ability to do just that. Finding a "kwamain mitchell or a marque perry or josh fisher" is easier said than done. Nobody can predict how these incoming players will pan out. That's why you give yourself margin for error. Remember when Kwamain was our only real PG and he got punked in the eye against Belmont and we almost pissed the game away in the last 4 minutes? I'm sure you remember the next game when we lost at home (sans Mitchell) to Mo State, decimating our at-large hopes? If Jett or McCall gets hurt next season, I'd like to have a PG option besides McBroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufan13 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Also to add something on Abell. He is a 6'4 point guard and hes gotten decent minutes at a top 10 team. I think he'd be a huge get for SLU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbofive Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 It really seems we have the best chances with RO to me... I think he's my favorite choice too, which only partially has to do with whoever came up with Onwausorus Rex. ONWUASORUS WRECKZ. NOW GET IT RIGHT OR PAY THE PRICE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMM28 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Remy Abell is not a "huge get" for SLU. He would be an average recruit compared to our level of recruiting the past 4 years or so. He originally signed with Bradley and Jim Les. When Les was fired he was let out of his LOI. He was a last minute signing by Crean. He really "blew up" his senior year of high school. He has a decent frame. He is more of a combo guard than a PG. He is probably best suited for an A10/MVC type level. He is a guy that trended downward as Big 10 play continued. He was a non factor in most Big 10 games. He is a fairly good shooter which is nice. Just okay defensively. I honestly think he might be a better fit at X than here.

BilliKat Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 ONWUASORUS WRECKZ. NOW GET IT RIGHT OR PAY THE PRICE Idk I'm sassy enough to throw random 'Z's on any word... And I don't think you can enforce this Jimbo... But Kudos on the name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
