Basketbill Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Absolutely. Huge. This hurt us much, much more, IMO, than most realize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basketbill Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Not the lack of extension but his worsening health. That kind fatigue, shortness of breath, had to impact his ability to recruit, and I suspect his last summer recruiting was likely just not done.

thetorch Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 72-40, final. Chaminade rested Tatum and the starters in the fourth and enjoyed a running clock. Tatum and Cook would both look great in SLU blue. I wonder if Gladson can return to 100% and be an A10-level player. He's still slow but he's a nice player for a HS big. Good frame, good positioning. Lafayette is a very good team but a poor matchup against Chaminade. Way way way too slow. McCluer North played Chaminade down to the wire but a team like Lafayette beats the Stars by 30 points as well. I've said before but Tatum could turn any team in the country into a final four contender. Cook is also growing on me. He's become much more assertive and as the season goes on is gettting his legs underneath him. Gladson has good fundamentals but his body is really broken. Its a shame. On two good wheels he's probably a top 100 player. Two bad ones and he's not getting any D-1 looks,. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There aren't enough superlatives available to describe Tatum's game. I wondered if Cook was overrated (top 75-ish) coming in to the season, but man, he's a really aggressive offensive player. Dunk machine. I like him a lot. No optimism for Gladson's chances of full recovery? I mean, yeah, he's obviously been broken down but I'd love to see him close to full speed again. What a bummer.

Gladson hasn't been hurt since last season. He might as well not have knees the way he plays. He is much slower and with less vertical than even our athletically challenged big men. I just don't see him getting back to 100% ever, much less 75%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to me Gladson's teammates would not pass him the ball when he posted up early in the game. When SLU recruits it seems we wind up with players like Gladson instead of players like Cook or Tatum. Maybe one day that will change. Cook is a good player but he has a way to go before he can become an impact player as a freshman at a high major school, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 What a shame. Gladson had a lot of high-level interest before the catastrophic knee injuries. Had a lot of potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to play hard all the time. An impact player can't take plays off. He may have helped us this year depending on how Crews would have played him. If he comes here in 2016 I believe he will help us seeing how he has one more year to develop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 -I thought Gladsen moved better last night than previous games, not sure what his ceiling is, important summer for him I would think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franchise_08 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Was at the Chaminade-Hazelwood Central yesterday and came away in awe of the Red Devils. Sneed was completely shut down and forced most of his shots. Most of his points were in the 4th against the second stringers.Chaminade had more than just Tatum as Lewis scored 25 I believe and Cook and Tatum were dominant. Lindenwood was packed so I only noticed Bruce Webber (wearing purple) and Rod Strickland at the game. I didn't see any SLU staff there but like I said, it was packed. Interesting that the scuttlebutt at the game is that SLU has a real shot at Tatum. Take it for what's it worth from the "I know the inside info guy" at the game.

They arrived late and had a hard time finding a seat. They ended up sitting under one of the baskets. Weber was right at midcourt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doowop Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 SLU should be recruiting hard Shea Rush and Jeriah Horne from Barstow. In my opinion they are both high major players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To have back to back games go to running clock in the 4th quarter at this point in the season is pretty ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmart23 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Tanner Bronson, Davell Roby, and Aaron Hines were at the game for SLU. Xavier Sneed was guarded by 6'4 Reggie Crawford. Chaminade's best defender. Also Hazelwood Central ran zero offense. The coaching that Central had was pitiful. I actually felt sad for Central because they had a lot of talent that I believe was wasted by bad coaching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Sneed spent a lot of time 40 feet from the basket without the ball. I was watching a stream without the greatest quality, but he wasn't much of a factor until the second half. He seemed to try to take things into his own hands starting in the third quarter. But echoing what others have said, there just weren't many signs of much coaching going on from the Hazelwood Central side. Sneed seemed like a talented player who didn't know what to do most of the time. It wasn't the greatest showing for Tatum, but I'd expect big things out of him in Columbia. It was a normal game for Cook. Lewis showed himself to be a skilled dribbler and shooter, but I still look at him as more of an undersized shooting guard than a true point guard; maybe college coaches can mold him. Gladson had 15 rebounds. I know he's still slow and may never be at full strength again, but he's skilled for his frame and always in the right position.
