Pistol Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Opening 2015 offer and interest lists. Let me know any new names you hear about. As always, updates on all names are appreciated. 2015 Offer List Evan Boudreaux: Lake Forest, Lake Forest, IL - PF: 6-7, 220. Offers: SLU, DePaul, Northwestern, Iowa, Iowa State, Boston College. Interest: Butler, Georgetown, Kansas, Purdue, Michigan, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Stanford, Virginia, Wake Forest, Notre Dame, Tennessee, Harvard. Latest (9/9): Boudreaux has made unofficial visits to Purdue and Northwestern. He calls Northwestern intriguing, and respects what Collins is doing with the program; also likes the balance of athletics with top-flight academics and likes the idea of staying close to home. He is basically being tracked by the whole Big Ten. He plays for the Next Level Performance AAU team. Twitter: @EBoudreaux12 Chancellor Ellis: St. Andrew's, Barrington, RI - SG/SF: 6-5, 180. Offers: SLU, Iona. Interest: Many. Latest (9/18): Ellis told @GiveNGobball that he recently picked up a SLU offer. He's a well-built perimeter player from Queens, NY who transferred to St. Andrew's in RI after his freshman season at The Rectory School in Pomfrey, CT. Ellis had national attention coming into high school as a schoolboy legend from NYC, but seems to have been an early bloomer whose age group eventually caught up to him. Still, he's a high-level talent. His interest list is difficult to fill out for this reason; at various times since he's been 13, any school could be on there. Twitter: @NoChanceNoWay Prentiss Nixon: Bolingbrook, Bolingbrook, IL - PG: 6-1, 170. Offers: SLU, SMU, Bradley, Drake, Northern Iowa, Colorado State, UIC, Northern Illinois. Latest (9/9): Nixon just took an unofficial visit to Bradley. He averaged 16 points as a sophomore at Bolingbrook, including 8 20-plus point games. He is considered one of the best shooters in Illinois and has a quick trigger. Many scouts see him as an undersized shooting guard, but Nixon is intent on proving he can run the show. He plays AAU ball with the Illinois Wolves. 2015 Interest List Ralph Bellamy: Clayton, Clayton, MO - SG/SF: 6-4, 205. Offers: None. Interest: SLU, Virginia Tech, Missouri State, SIUC, Indiana State, SEMO, Northern Colorado. Latest (9/9): Bellamy is billed as a swingman with high-level athleticism. He plays for the St. Louis Gym Rats AAU team. Ben Weixlmann Tweeted that he's run into Bellamy at the gym numerous times, saying he's much improved since the summer, a big, athletic wing with a chance to make waves; talented prospect. Twitter: @HollaAtMeDotCom Josh Speidel: North, Columbus, IN - PF: 6-7, 210. Offers: UIC, Evansville. Interest: SLU, Xavier, DePaul, Indiana, Purdue, Michigan, Charleston, Northern Illinois, Ball State, Northern Kentucky, South Alabama. Latest (9/9): Speidel has taken a number of unofficial campus visits: Michigan, Purdue, Indiana, Evansville, and more. He plays for Indiana Elite on the AAU circuit; his squad won the 64 in Vegas for his age level. He says he's interested in a college with good coaches, good facilities, a strong, competitive conference, and good academics.

stlsfinest Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Ralph Bellamy does not have an offer from Virginia Tech. He had a good performance at an AAU tournament back in April, where V-Tech's staff was present. Bellamy was later invited to one of their summer camps.

Quality Is Job 1 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Thank god for the capital p or we wouldn't have known wether he was a 1 or a 2 and that is grounds for a serious argument. Yeah, that is ambiguous, isn't it? Is he a guard from Traders Point, or is he a point guard for the Traders? I confess I thought the former. Good catch, 05.

For-DaLove Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 He is a POINT guard from Traders POINT Christian Academy. That tweet could have been more clear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I get what you're saying but slu has liked this kid for a while and it's still early. Hopefully he continues to improve and slu is still there Agreed- if SLU sees something in him, he's worth staying on. He's a teammate of Elliott Welmer at Columbus North and if Twitter is any indication, they're pretty close friends, too. We seem to have a strong pipeline going on with the state of Indiana right now. I'm hoping these Columbus North kids are late bloomers with a lot of potential that SLU has scouted correctly; both appear to like us a lot.
