WVBilliken Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 It's really hard to tell the caps lock is on until you hit a couple hundred words. So, what does it really matter? There is no inner meaning in using CAPS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one cares about SLU unless he actually chooses us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kshoe Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Yep, it doesn't even seem like we are in play anymore.You can't seriosuly think that because some national idiot at the big lead didn't list slu it has any indicative powers as to his school choice. Please tell me you were being sarcastic and I missed it.I mean the mere fact that he listed Kansas as one of the choices should tell you about the credibility.

joe_davola Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Steve, Can we put this thing in performance mode now? I can't wait to see the range of emotions when Tatum makes his decision. I for one don't want to miss the jubilation if he chooses us and I certainly don't want to miss the tantrums that will be thrown if he chooses another school. Thanks.

slufan13 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Nobody will take this seriously because it's anti-SLU's chances, but I thought it was interesting nonetheless. http://www.si.com/college-basketball/2015/07/06/fiba-u19-world-championship-usa-jalen-brunson-harry-giles Giles and Jayson Tatum might become the greatest package deal of all-time Tatum, a 6'8" wing from St. Louis who had the second-highest PER on the team (after Brunson), was the other American 17-year-old who thrived playing a year-and-a-half above his age bracket. Once Tatum fills out, he'll be a prototypical high-level, NBA small forward, and he could challenge Giles for the No. 1 pick in 2017. But before that, they may become college teammates. Giles called Tatum his "best friend"; they roomed together in Crete, just as they did at the FIBA U17 Worlds in Dubai last summer, and both want to chase a national championship in 2016-17, what'll likely be their lone college season. Teaming up in college, Giles said, "is mostly definitely what we talk about," and Tatum called it a "pretty strong possibility." They're not as locked together as former USA Basketball teammates-turned-Duke-starters Jahlil Okafor and Tyus Jones were during their recruitment, but Giles and Tatum do have three overlapping schools on their respective lists: Duke, Kentucky and North Carolina. If any of that trio pulls off the package commitment, it's instantly the favorite for the 2017 title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufan13 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 For those that don't have Insider If Jayson Tatum decides to stay home and play at Saint Louis instead of heading away to Duke, Kentucky or North Carolina, it will be primarily because of his family. Sounds reasonable, of course. But the other two things he would miss the most about the city? His dog -- not a reason most kids stay home for college but, again, fairly reasonable. And then there's -- pizza. "We have something called Imo's Pizza," Tatum told ESPN.com last week from Greece, where he was playing with USA Basketball at the U19 World Championships. "I probably eat it four times a week." While not exactly known nationwide as a pizza powerhouse, St. Louis is nonetheless home to the favorite food of Tatum, the No. 1 prospect in the ESPN 100 for 2016. And all jokes aside, Tatum insists the hometown Billikens are a legitimate contender for his signature. While many scoffed when Tatum included the program, coming off a last-place Atlantic 10 finish, among his final four, he has maintained SLU is firmly in the mix. "They've recruited me for a long time; I have a great relationship with them; I met a lot of people on campus," Tatum said. "It's only 10 minutes away. I play pickup games there; I go to a bunch of games. I know how much it would mean." Jayson's father, Justin, played at Saint Louis from 1998 to 2001, while his mother, Brandy, has a law degree from the school. Moreover, the Chaminade College Prep (Mo.) product has lived in St. Louis his entire life. Tatum said his parents will support him wherever he decides to go to school, but there's obviously a certain pull to stay in the Lou. "It's home to me," Tatum said. "It's not a big-time city like New York or Chicago or Los Angeles. That's what I like about it. I love being there. When I go out of town, by the second day I'm ready to go back home." Tatum has been on the road for long stretches lately, as he was one of four players named to the aforementioned U19 USA Basketball team, along with fellow top-three prospects Harry Giles and Josh Jackson, as well as five-star wing Terrance Ferguson. Team USA won the gold medal on Sunday with a win over Croatia, as Tatum finished with 13 points, six rebounds and three assists. In the seven games he played in Crete, Tatum was third on the team in scoring, averaging 13.9 points, while also grabbing 4.6 rebounds and shooting 40 percent from 3-point range. He was third on the team in minutes played. This was Tatum's third gold medal with USA Basketball, as he was also part of the 2014 U17 World Championship team in the United Arab Emirates and the U16 National Team at the FIBA Americas in Uruguay. "It definitely helps out a lot," Tatum said of his travels. "I'm experiencing different things through basketball. It builds character. You're playing with the best of the best for 3½ weeks. Age doesn't really matter. It's the same with freshmen starting on varsity, as well as in college, and it's the same in the NBA. If you can play, you can play." Tatum first realized he could be this good in the summer after eighth grade, back in 2012. It was then that he burst onto the national scene, after attending the Fab Frosh Camp in Atlanta. It didn't take him very long to make a name for himself at the event. "The first night session, no one knew who I was," Tatum said. "Then I scored 22 straight points, and people were like 'Who is this kid?' I was really excited, geeked about scoring. The basket looked big. "I had seen these guys on YouTube, they were one, two, three, four in my grade. And when I left the camp, I was ranked No. 2 in the camp." Tatum hasn't slowed down since. He averaged 26.1 points and 10.0 rebounds as a junior at Chaminade and is fifth in the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League in scoring at 19.5 points -- in addition to the individual accolades and USA Basketball medals. "I gotta stay humble," Tatum said. "Remain level-headed. I haven't made it anywhere." With a college decision approaching, Tatum has his choice of a next stop. But Saint Louis fans are hoping he decides to stay home -- will thin crust and Provel cheese be convincing enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
