3star_recruit Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Tyler Cook and Eric Curry now both have scholarship offers from Arkansas . The Hawgs are putting pressure on Cook to commit sooner rather than later. Elyjah Goss reportedly performed well in Milwaukee. I assume the staff will be evaluating their other Plan B forwards next week. We'll land a solid power forward even if Curry goes elsewhere.

3star_recruit Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Now that we have one guard on board for 2016, I think the commitment front will be pretty slow for awhile. Curry has a lot of options to mull over right now. I imagine he's going to want to take his some official visits after the July evaluation periods. Even if we were to beat the odds and land him, it won't be any time soon. If I were the coaching staff, I would set up some official visits with my Plan B recruits in the meantime. That would buy them some time so they can see how the Curry situation plays out. Talk to you guys in a couple of months! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 My feeling is that the Curry ship has sailed. We were in on him at the right time, but now the big programs (including the in-state Arkansas, whose system would suit him well) are all over him. I'm just not sure there's enough SLU heat left there. (I hope I'm wrong.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Updated list. One open spot for 2016 remains.

Interest: Vanderbilt, Iowa, Memphis, Oregon. Latest News: After averaging 10.1 and 7.2 at the Peach Jam, Curry picked up offers from Minnesota and Arkansas. His stock continues to skyrocket. He called Arkansas and Iowa State two of his favorites. Scouting Report: Curry is a strong rebounder and good finisher who plays with a lot of energy and grit.

Carsen Edwards: PG, 5-11, 185, Humble, TX (Atascocita) – Offers: Purdue, Vanderbilt, Baylor, K-State, Georgia Tech, SMU, Virginia Tech, Tulsa, Houston, Rice, Fresno State, Lamar, Arkansas State. Interest: Texas, Texas A&M. Latest News: Edwards took an official visit to Purdue at the end of June. He plans to officially visit Vandy soon. SLU’s staff watched him play against the Eagles in the Peach Jam. Scouting Report: Edwards had a breakout junior HS season (24 PPG, 6 APG, 32-1 record). He’s a fearless playmaker who plays downhill and has an explosive step.

Interest: Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Arkansas, Wake Forest, K-State, TCU. Latest News: McDowell plans to visit SMU this week. He plans to visit USC this fall.

Latest News: Mitchell reported a July 12th SLU offer on Twitter. The Juco Report Elite 150 was held on July 11. Scouting Report: Mitchell is a scoring-minded guard with a nice pull-up jumper.

Interest: Oklahoma, Wake Forest, Vanderbilt. Latest News: Sneed plans to cut his list to 5 soon. He will attend the Lawson-Oladipo Camp. Scouting Report: Sneed has developed a reputation as a lock-down defender. He’s a streaky scorer with a lot of athleticism. He seems to be improving his shooting. Twitter: @Luh_Sneed20 Interest Kostas Antetokounmpo: 6-6, 190, Milwaukee, WI (Dominican) – Offers: Iowa State. Interest: SLU, Marquette, Kansas, Florida State, Maryland, Minnesota, St. John’s, Texas, Wake Forest. Latest News: Antetokounmpo has been making the rounds this spring and summer, getting to as many camps and events as he can and drawing a lot of eyes. Iowa State was first to offer but many, many more should be on the way any time now. Scouting Report: Every coach in the nation should be keeping an eye on the younger brother of the Greek Freak. He’s still growing and looks an awful lot like his older brother, with his albatross arms. He’s raw but the upside is virtually unlimited. Twitter: @alexadetokoubo Deon Barrett: PG, 5-10, 150, Lancaster, TX (Lancaster) – Offers: None. Interest: SLU, Richmond, Oklahoma, Creighton, Texas Tech, Ole Miss, Houston, Bucknell, Central Michigan, Fresno State, Louisiana Tech, UTEP, North Texas, Montana State, Albany, Long Island-Brooklyn, Arkansas State, Nebraska-Omaha, Abilene Christian. Latest News: Barrett continues to draw a lot of eyes, but still no offers. He played well at the Lone Star Top 100 Camp this weekend. Scouting Report: Barrett is quick on both ends and runs the floor extremely fast. He isn’t afraid to launch threes. Twitter: @kdotcash Eddie Ekiyor: PF, 6-9, 215, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada (New Hampton) – Offers: Xavier, Georgia Tech, Oregon, Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Miami, Virginia Tech, Providence, Wake Forest, K-State, Villanova, Duquesne, UMass, Arkansas State. Interest: SLU, Duke, Florida, Kansas, Michigan, Syracuse, San Diego State. Latest News: Ekiyor has played well on the AAU circuit this summer, including dominating the CYBL Showdown Championships in July. He expects to make visits, narrow his list down soon, and choose in August or September. He said Xavier, Vandy, Oregon, K-State, Florida, and Wake Forest are working the hardest. Tennessee was the last to offer. Scouting Report: Considered the top uncommitted big man in Canada’s 2016 class, Ekiyor is an excellent rebounder and shot blocker, but can also score. Twitter: @Eddie_Ekiyor Tarkus Ferguson: SG, 6-3, 180, Belleville, IL (Althoff) - Offers: SIUC, UIC, SIUE. Interest: SLU, Cal, Indiana State, Missouri State, Evansville. Latest News: Ferguson has had a nice showing with the SW Illinois Jets this summer and picked up offers from SIUC and UIC. Scouting Report: Ferguson is a stud athlete who can fill up a stat sheet. He needs to work on shot selection. Twitter: @T_Ferg15 Will Gladson: PF, 6-8, 190, St. Louis, MO (Chaminade) – Offers: SIUE, IUPUI, Brown. Interest: SLU. Latest News: Gladson picked up an offer from Brown after a solid showing at the Peach Jam. He visited IUPUI with Mike Lewis in June. Scouting Report: Gladson was on the high-major radar early in his high school career but proceeded to tear both ACLs in consecutive seasons, considerably slowing him down. He remains a skilled, smart big man with good post moves and a consistent jumper, but development has been slowed by ACL tears in each knee in consecutive seasons. Twitter: @WILL_to_win_11 Brendon Gooch: SF, 6-5, 160, Belleville, IL (Althoff) – Offers: Western Illinois, San Jose State, SIUC, SIUE. Interest: SLU, Illinois, Purdue, Nebraska, Northwestern, Indiana State, Missouri State, Drake, Evansville. Latest News: Not a whole lot of Gooch news this summer, but he’s playing with the SW Illinois Jets on the AAU circuit. Scouting Report: Gooch has a good wingspan for his frame, allowing him to play a bit bigger than he is. He’s still raw but has improved his shot, range, and confidence. Twitter: @Bgooch22 Elyjah Goss: SF, 6-7, 195, Bolingbrook, IL (Plainfield East) – Offers: Western Illinois, IUPUI, Lewis. Interest: SLU, Iowa, Northern Illinois, Loyola-Illinois, UWGB, UMKC, Fairfield, Wofford, Sam Houston State. Latest News: Goss has attended camps at SLU, UWGB, Loyola, and NIU. He has played well with the Illinois Celtics this summer. Scouting Report: Goss is athletic, bouncy, and active on the wing. He has a 6-11 wingspan and high ceiling. Twitter: @ElyjahGoss Kieran Hayward: SG, 6-5, 187, Sydney, Australia (St. Joseph’s College) – Offers: St. Joe’s, Rider, Fairfield. Interest: SLU, Michigan State, Virginia, Butler, Gonzaga, Creighton, LSU, Arizona State, SIUC, Valpo. Latest News: SLU, Butler, and Gonzaga watched Hayward at NY2LA Summer Jam 2K15. Fairfield was the first offer (this July) and the others soon followed. LSU and Valpo are showing high interest. Scouting Report: Hayward is a good shooter who can adapt to any pace of play. He’s consistent from the perimeter, but loves a step-back mid-range shot, too. He’s a smart player and excellent passer with a high motor. He goes to the basket hard and with a lot of confidence, and is a good dunker and finisher. He wasn’t on many radars prior to this summer but came over to play in a few events and has opened a lot of eyes. Twitter: @KieranHayward0 Clayton Hughes: SF, 6-6, 190, Jackson, TN (University) – Offers: Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Butler, DePaul, Rhode Island, Central Florida, Murray State, Western Kentucky, Middle Tennessee State, Louisiana Tech, South Alabama, Central Arkansas, Liberty. Interest: SLU, Mizzou, Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Virginia, Notre Dame, Belmont. Latest News: Hughes picked up offers from DePaul, UCF, and Murray State this summer. He had a nice showing at the Next Up Recruits Elite Camp. Scouting Report: Hughes is a dangerous shooter who can handle the ball, finish strong above the rim, and make outstanding passes off the dribble. He’s a deceptive athlete with an unusual-looking form. Twitter: @ClaymaneeeeYooo Sha’Markus Kennedy: PF, 6-7, 185, Tuscaloosa, AL (Northridge) – Offers: None. Interest: SLU, Richmond, VCU, Murray State, Wright State, South Alabama, Samford, Troy, Tennessee Tech, Texas-Pan Am, Texas-Rio Grande Valley, Abilene Christian. Latest News: Kennedy was invited to attend the Southeast College Exposure Camp (8/1 in Birmingham). He visited UT-Chattanooga last month. Scouting Report: Kennedy is a true late bloomer, pretty much an unknown until this spring, when he had some good showings on the Adidas circuit. He’s a natural shot blocker despite being undersized because he’s long and has outstanding leaping ability. He’s also a good rebounder. Twitter: @elite_dunker Michael Lewis: SG, 6-2, 170, St. Louis, MO (Chaminade) – Offers: Eastern Illinois, Illinois State, Central Michigan, IUPUI. Interest: SLU, Xavier, Kent State, San Jose State, Boise State, Eastern Kentucky, Nebraska-Omaha. Latest News: Lewis received an offer from Eastern Illinois. He visited IUPUI with Gladson in June. Scouting Report: Lewis is an undersized shooting guard sometimes relied on as a PG by Chaminade. He is an extremely reliable, poised outside shooter capable of hitting big shots. Twitter: @MikeLewisII Dishon Lowery: PF, 6-7, 220, Peachtree City, GA (McIntosh) – Offers: Louisiana Tech, High Point, Mercer. Interest: SLU, Penn, Murray State, Florida Gulf Coast, Wofford, Appalachian State, Troy, Tennessee Tech, North Florida, Arkansas-Little Rock, Samford, Hofstra. Latest News: SLU is one of a number of schools showing interest during the early summer. Scouting Report: Lowery has an extremely high motor and puts it to good use on the glass. He’s a strong post player with a good feel in the paint on both ends, but is a raw athlete who needs to work on defense and conditioning. Twitter: TeamLowery2016 Jerry Myles: PG, 6-5, 201, Davenport, IA (United Township) – Offers: Iowa, Iowa State, Nebraska, Creighton, Loyola-Illinois, Illinois State. Interest: SLU, Illinois, Kansas, Wisconsin, Northern Iowa. Latest News: Myles was not on the United Township roster for a summer event. His situation remains a mystery, as always. Scouting Report: Myles is a big, athletic guard with the ability to take over a game. He’s a strong defender, shooter, and passer. He started his career at Davenport West, transferred to Sunrise Christian (KS), and is now at United Township on the IL side of the Quad Cities. He’s rumored to be leaving there, as well. Skyler Nash: SG, 6-5, 205, Chicago, IL (Riverside Brookfield) - Offers: Kansas State. Interest: SLU, Wisconsin, DePaul, Marquette, Michigan, Illinois, Ohio State, Indiana, Iowa State, West Virginia, Yale. Latest News: Nash had a cancerous tumor removed in May. He is in remission but is being monitored regularly and requires quarterly colonoscopies. Nash has visited SLU, Michigan, DePaul, Purdue, and Marquette, and many others are interested but haven’t come through with offers. He transferred from Whitney Young to Riverside Brookfield for his senior season and is considering prep school afterward. Scouting Report: Nash is a strong, physical wing who finishes strong and rebounds the perimeter well. Twitter: @NashSkyler Dru Smith: G, 6-3, 180, Evansville, IN (Reitz) – Offers: Evansville, Indiana State, Ball State, Northern Kentucky, South Alabama. Interest: SLU, George Mason, Butler, Loyola-Illinois, Bradley. Latest News: SLU has shown interest in Smith lately, checking out recent AAU games. Smith said he’s waiting through July before planning 2-3 official visits. So far, he really seems to be responding to Ball State’s in-state recruiting message. Scouting Report: Smith has a thick frame for his age, causing him to frequently guard forwards on the defensive end despite being a combo guard on the other end. He’s a high energy player who does a little bit of everything. Twitter: dru_smith_12 Ashton West: G, 6-2, 180, Blue Springs, MO (Legacy Charter, Greenville, SC) - Offers: Davidson, Cornell, Miami-Ohio, Weber State, Jacksonville, Cal State-Bakersfield, Liberty. Interest: SLU, VCU, George Washington, Mizzou, Marquette, South Florida, Kansas, K-State, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Syracuse, Utah, Colorado, Vanderbilt, Cal, Rutgers, Mississippi State, Notre Dame, Gonzaga, Southern Miss, SMU, UMKC, Belmont, Morehead State, Weber State, Florida Gulf Coast, Eastern Kentucky, Robert Morris, Brown, Norfolk State, Jacksonville State, Gardner-Webb, Binghamton, Stony Brook, Idaho, Idaho State, Tennessee State, Georgia State, Delaware, NC Central, Abilene Christian. Latest News: West will take an unofficial visit to Vandy in August. He will be attending Legacy Charter School in Greenville, SC. He has bounced around to at least three different high schools. SLU was first reported to show interest in West around late October. The level of interest picked up in the fall, but it’s tough to tell which offers and interested schools are still active. Scouting Report: A pass-first guard and good outside shooter, West is limited athletically but sat out a whole season with 3 torn ligaments and reclassified as a 2016 recruit.

Pistol Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Isn't it quite possible SLU "passed" on the kid because he had to go to a JUCO? I wasn't passing judgment, merely stating a fact. I don't know if he "had" to go to a juco or what. If memory serves, his only offers were from Western Illinois, SIUE, and Austin Peay or someone like that. Now his offers are Iowa State, Nebraska, Memphis, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Nevada, Houston, LSU, Tulsa, and K-State. Juco has served him well.
