RiseAndGrind Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Any word on this visit today? I heard he verballed today, but they're waiting until Jimmy Whitt comes back from the Top 100 camp so they can announce together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiseAndGrind Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 @BWeixScout: 2016 wing Xavier Sneed (@Luh_Sneed20) visited #SLU yesterday and was extended an offer, per a source. Whitt, Tatum, and Sneed (along with Tyler Cook) are all going to kill it while at SLU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetorch Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 We are all enamored with Jayson Tatum but Sneed is an under the radar talent. Great to see us making an early offer to him. Sneed could definetly be a star at the D-1 level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JettFlight5 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Looks like he also visited Vanderbilt, so he's probably a pretty smart kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NH Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Looks like he also visited Vanderbilt, so he's probably a pretty smart kid. I don't think him visiting Vandy for basketball says anything about his academic prowess, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JettFlight5 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I don't think him visiting Vandy for basketball says anything about his academic prowess, unfortunately. I think it does. Vanderbilt isn't going to take many risks, especially after kicking last year's leading scorer off the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NH Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I think it does. Vanderbilt isn't going to take many risks, especially after kicking last year's leading scorer off the team. I can promise you that the Vanderbilt basketball recruits are generally no better in school than most other D-1 team's recruits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JettFlight5 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 All told, I think this is a good direction for recruiting to go in. There's talent here than can make a good situation better. NH...You go there, so you see it. Fair enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wgstl Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Is cook that good, or is this more of a tactic from ku towards Tatum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshoe Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I don't like that Kasas, Iowa and Purdue have all offered before SLU has. I think being the first to offer is one of the more over-rated concepts on this board. Sometimes you better distinguish yourself by playing hard to get and creating a feeling that receiving a scholarship offer from SLU is a really big deal. As long as we are still having conversations with Cook and building our relationship with him, then I have confidence that our staff will know when to best offer him a scholly.

JMM28 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 We don't know if Iowa, Kansas, and Purdue are commitable offers though. It very well could be a "we like you but we need to hear from ___ first" scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheChosenOne Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Is cook that good, or is this more of a tactic from ku towards Tatum. Cook definitely has a long way to go, but he does show some potential. He is definitely not the caliber of recruit Kansas would offer without his connection to Jayson. I am assuming this is not a commitable offer on its own, but rather part of a package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetorch Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Trying not to downgrade a recruit but I question also whether Cook is worthy of a KU offer. He's a top 250 player currently. Usually they go for a little higher than that. I've seen him several times, he just doesn't strike me as being that high of a prospect.

Usually they go for a little higher than that. I've seen him several times, he just doesn't strike me as being that high of a prospect. Agreed. He may very well improve and become a top 150 type of player, but he is definitely not there at this point (unless he has drastically improved this spring). I got out to a number of Chaminade games this winter and for the most part was unimpressed by him (incredibly heavy on his feet, slow to react to block shots and rebound, and not much ability beyond five feet), but he did show some flashes in the post when Chaminade played at CBC and that showed me some of the potential I have heard about numerous times from his coaches. Saying a kid is not the caliber of a KU offer is not really crushing a kid as they mostly only target 5 and 4 star type talents at this point in the recruiting process. I personally am not sure whether SLU should offer him and because of that I really like our approach with him and Jordan Barnes (don't think he has an offer either) of building the relationship without extending an offer at this point.

TheChosenOne Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 -and those flashes were mostly coming against a Big12 recruit two years his senior (make any Rick Barnes comments, he mostly deserves them) I don't think Jordan Barnett was guarding Tyler Cook very much. Cook had a nice run when Tatum was out of the game and I think Armon Watts, Arkansas football recruit, was the one guarding him at the time.
