cgeldmacher Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 We haven't started a "Recruiting - 2018" thread yet, so I'm posting this here. Vianney has a 6'7" freshman named Carte'Are Gordon that just led them to an upset of Justin Tatem's reigning state champion CBC team in district play. This kids isn't finished growing. I have been told that he was a serious contributor for Vianney down the stretch. We often hear kids say that SLU got into their recruiting well after they heard from other schools. Maybe we should get in at the start on this kid. I'm not saying extend him an offer. I'm just saying have someone from the team should contact him and say that SLU is interested and that they'd like to watch his progress over the next two years. Seems to me that just something that simple can stick with a kid. Not sure why being first on the seen is important to some guys, but it seems to be. You always hear recruits talking about schools that were on them from the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And like I said with Ramey who has already been to some SLU games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franchise_08 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Sneed seem to get frustrated when the ball was not in his hands. I am not sure why they didn't run any plays for him or isolations since he has good size and was quick on the dribble. He got quite a bit of garbage points at the end.

RiseAndGrind Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I don't think SLU has a good shot with any of the top 2016 kids except for Tatum. Perhaps I'm stating the obvious but I'd be very surprised if Sneed or Cook ended up at SLU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BANG! He Got It! Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Scout has us listed with Zach Norvell and Aric Holman for 2016. I get the feeling that we're not in the running for them any longer, but I hadn't seen the names anywhere else prior to this. If I missed them on here, apologies.

moytoy12 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 This kid was mentioned on here earlier: Unique McLean. I just watched his highlight video and he reminds me a bit of Justin Love. 6-1 with what appears to be a D-1 ready build. Looks pretty impressive on the highlight reel, but then again, who doesn't? http://scouthoops.scout.com/story/1506842-highlights-unique-mclean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He brought his daughter and stayed the entire game. Representation is there - don't worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billiken class of 15 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Althoff just beat two-time defending state champ Morgan Park to advance to the Illinois Class 3A state title game. Those kids from Althoff can really play. I'd love to see Gooch and/or Goodwin (2017) in a Billiken uniform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we recruited some kid from Althoff awhile back, Lisch or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmbilliken Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Althoff's team is impressive. They really share the ball and pass well without hesitation. Goodwin may end up being Donnie Dobbs. Gooch has long arms and handles the ball well. He is thin, but not skinny like Bartley and Gillman. He looks like he will develope muscle. I'd gladly take both of them.

billiken_roy Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Both Ferguson and bateman are imo going to be better than gooch. Like I said I'd take all four. Bateman is about the best outside shooting prospect from the area since claggett. Ferguson does it all. And is the most complete player of the four. If goodwin Develops An Outside Shot To Go With THE Rest Of His game He Is bigtime. He is a ferocious rebounder and with the ball just gets to the rim. Gooch is a good rebounder and defender. Incredible reach and plays bigger than his size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billiken_Blues Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 For those who follow local high school basketball, any recruits from SLUH that look like they could be contributors in D1 basketball? Just curious with Claggett as the head coach, should have a good in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can gain muscle in college, we may be looking at a fundamentally different player. He is outplaying taller,stronger kids at 6'6 170. What's he going to do as a 6'7 200lb college swingman?

doowop Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Chaminade lost today in a shocker in the state semifinal.If Tatum can't lead his high school team with all those D1 prospects to the championship game, how can some of you expect him to lead SLU to the NCAA Tournament?

To be clear, I think Tatum is an incredible talent and I really want to see him in Billiken blue. That said, you bring up an interesting point.
