TheChosenOne Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Has anyone heard anything concerning Patrick McCaw and where he will be playing his college ball? It seems like we are no longer involved, but curious if anyone had heard anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMM28 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 David Cohn has had an "inquiry" from SLU. He is a PG transferring from Colorado State. He would have three years left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufan13 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 David Cohn has had an "inquiry" from SLU. He is a PG transferring from Colorado State. He would have three years left. First 2 sentences on his ESPN recruiting profile from last year... Cohn is a big time shooter with deep range. He is capable of big numbers every time he takes he court.

VeniceMenace Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 He's a good shooter...not sure about the rest of his game, which was obviously a factor in decreased playing time as the season wore on. If we sign him, perhaps the coaching staff thinks he can become a more well-rounded player after a year of practices before he's eligible again.

Dwayne's_World Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Just saw Crews and a couple of the basketball players sitting with a recruit in the food court at the BSC. Anyone know who is visiting today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy03 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Millik Yarbrough is visiting today. According to his twitter a few days ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACE Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Justin martin to transfer from X, 6'6 SF, wouldn't mind.. Time for Calbert Cheaney to get on the phone. Martin would be a perfect fit. Eligible next year. There is our small forward. There will be a lot of competition for his services. That kid Yarbrough could be a good fit. I still think small forward is our most glaring need. The transfer from Colorado State, while pretty talented, doesn't seem to make much sense. He would give us four guards in the same class.

The transfer from Colorado State, while pretty talented, doesn't seem to make much sense. He would give us four guards in the same class. While I agree he'd be a perfect fit, we've got no shot. A guy like that (averaging 12 a game while playing 28 minutes) doesn't leave a solid program like that so that he can be a part of a rebuilding year in a lower conference. He likely has aspirations of being on a national title contender and I suspect the school he invariably ends up at was the reason he's transferring in the first place (i.e. they called one of his handlers, AAU coaches, highschool coaches, etc.) and told him they'd take him.

dabills Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 what is a solid recruiting website? If ESPN isn't as dependable as I thought, is there a website that will give me a better idea of how good recruits actually are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ESPN isn't as dependable as I thought, is there a website that will give me a better idea of how good recruits actually are? It sounds like the best bet is to subscribe to scout where Ben Weixlmann seems to have a good handle on the Billiken recruiting efforts as well as local recruits. I am not sure the best site for free, maybe 247Sports? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMHO form your own. dabills, I don't have a subscription, so I would take drkelsey55's opinion over mine. Sorry for the misinformation, I assumed he provided good content as the only individual I am aware of that specifically focuses on SLU recruiting.

drkelsey55 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 The info Ben gives is good, but the Scout site is never updates timely or at all sometimes. The site only list 4 our or present LOI commits. Again this is just my opinion. Others may be happy with the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zink Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Verbalcommits.com is solid. It's simply an aggregator of info, but it's nicely laid out and up to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeSmetBilliken Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I subscribe to the SLU Scout.com site. I like the info that Ben gives subscribers, and it's really the only place to go for SLU-specific recruiting info. The amount of information ebbs and flows, but that's just a product of the fact that recruiting is heavier during the offseason. The national sites (Scout, Rivals, ESPN) are probably good if you're a fan of a team that consistently recruits Top 50-100 players, but they can only cover so much ground. If you don't want to pay for team specific info through a site like Ben's SLU Scout page, I'd recommend just checking a site like Verbal Commits that aggregates information, or just following recruiting people on Twitter.

HoyaBilliken Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Yarbrough reminds me of a slightly bigger Kelan Martin. Trust the staff, but would be nice to get a 5th year guy or juco transfer. Either a point guard or 3 man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeSmetBilliken Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Yarbrough reminds me of a slightly bigger Kelan Martin. I don't know if he's bigger, but Yarbrough did remind me a lot of the video I saw of Martin last Fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
