Pistol Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Update for the last two spots. I added Townser- if anyone knows more about him, please let me know. Like I said, Juco information still has a long way to go: Paul Jesperson, SG: 6-6, 197, Virginia. Transfer eligible as junior in 2014-2015. Interest from SLU, Northern Iowa, USC, Nebraska, and Florida. Latest (5/19): Jesperson is back home in Merrill, Wisconsin and will not make any other visits. A Wisconsin Badgers source says he'll likely choose between UNI and USC. His younger brother just committed to Pepperdine, which bodes well for USC. Previous: Jesperson tweeted "UNI, St. Louis, USC... 3 great visits, couple more left tho" on the 11th. It appears he will not be visiting Nebraska or Florida. At SLU, Manning (Virginia native) and Barnett (Wisconsin native) were his hosts. Pappy's was part of the itinerary. Randy Onwuasor, PG: 6-3, 190, Inglewood HS, Inglewood, CA. Top Choices: SLU, Miami-Ohio, LSU, and Pitt. Other offers: UC-Irvine, UC-Riverside, and Cal State-Fullerton. Interest from Tennessee, Tennessee Tech, Seton Hall, Florida State, Arkansas, UNLV, Tulane, New Mexico State, and Utah. Latest (5/19): Tweeted to a friend that he was in no hurry on his decision, and then deleted it. After the LSU offer, he may be waiting to see who else is out there. The longer this goes on, the worse SLU's chances look. Previous: Onwuasor has visited SLU and Miami-Ohio. SLU and Miami have both made in-home visits. He said to Ben Weixlmann that his final three choices are SLU, Miami, and Pitt. He will be playing in the Nike Global Challenge in DC in July. He has been retweeting SLU fans a lot, but more recent tweets feature Tennessee, Tennessee Tech, and LSU. A TTU assistant apparently visited, and he now says he plans to visit Knoxville soon. No word on offers from either. Onwuasor has picked up an offer from LSU and has already visited there. What looked like a SLU-Miami race has now opened back up. Jordan Strawberry, PG: 6-1, 170, Mater Dei HS, Santa Ana, CA. Offers: SLU, UC-Riverside, and at least 2 others (UNCW likely). Claims interest from Arizona, Virginia Tech, Gonzaga, California, and Florida State. Latest (5/16): Darryl Strawberry told Frank Cusamano that SLU "looked at" Jordan but that he's considering prep school in Connecticut. Previous: Visit to SLU (and dad) went very well. Since then, UNC-Wilmington has gotten in the mix and has one scholarship left to give after Addison Spruill, a shooting guard from Brevard CC, committed yesterday, 4/30. No confirmation on an offer from UNCW but it seems likely they've made one. He seems to be SLU's backup plan to Randy Onwuasor, but SLU seems like his best opportunity. This list came out on 5/1 and Strawberry's name and picture is in it. Interestingly, Onwuasor and Lancona are not mentioned. He also told a buddy on Twitter that his visit "out there" went well and he's trying to make his decision. JaQuail Townser, PG: 6-3, 185, SWIC. Juco transfer eligible as sophomore in 2013-2014. Unclear whether SLU has offered or who else has. Latest (5/19): Townser has already visited SLU multiple times, at least once with another teammate. Townser averaged 8.8 PPG at SWIC this season along with 4.8 APG and 3.2 RPG on 42.5% shooting (26.0% from 3 and 78.7% from FT). The Telegraph on May 2 said, "Look for former Alton High standouts JaQuail Townser and Tony Bradley, both at SWIC in Belleville, to sign soon with four-year colleges." Here's a of some high school (2012) highlights.Achraf Yacoubou, SG: 6-4, 210, Villanova. Transfer eligible as junior in 2014-2015. Interested in SLU, Pitt, and Georgia Tech. Latest (5/16): He was supposed to visit Pitt on 5/14 but I haven't seen anything confirming that he actually visited. I have confirmed that he was in the Bronx (his hometown) on 5/15. Previous: Two Tweets from sportswriters on Friday, 5/3 said that Yacoubou visited SLU and will be visiting Pitt and Georgia Tech next. UNLV and Miami are out of contention. According to pantherlair.com writer Matthew Steinbrink, Pitt is focused on Yacoubou, Sheldon Jeter (if he decides to transfer), and DeAndre Kane. Kane made it official, so Pitt has one scholarship left to give. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billboy1 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 RO is surely enjoying his being the center of attention. If he's enjoying the drama now will he be a distraction if he comes here. Let's move on to somebody that wants to be here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 What is up w/ these guards? All of them have to know, especially the transfers, they will be plugged into start next year. It seems RO is looking to play in a bigger pond than the A-10. Did someone fail to tell him the A-10 put 5 teams into the dance this year? Right now I'm hoping for the Nova kid. From SLU's perspective that would round out an A recruiting season with our other 3 signees. But I'm dreading the thought that if we don't find at least one guard, the 14-15 season is going to be a beatch if we have to count on a couple of freshmen to carry the load.

Billboy1 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 The others are transfers with college experience so they can be more selective-this kid is just out of hs and maybe believes he is better than he actually is. Let's go for one of the transfers who does have experience and sign a pg in the fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCoastBilliken Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I know I had a hell of a time picking which University to attend when I was a senior in HS. I could only imagine how difficult it is to make the decision of who you will play D1 basketball for.... I would give the kid a break for taking his time on a decision and weighing all options.

Billboy1 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Choosing between SLU and Miami (OH)isn't that tough. Just because LSU joined in late should make him wonder why they would want him now if not before. Sounds like he might be getting some bad advice.

Jrberendzen Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I think it's time to fire Crews and the only reason i say this is because things probably would be different if he had not canned Jared Drew. Good Transfers and Recruits who are considering Slu don't want to come here now because of Drew getting Canned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
