SLURadioBoy Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 35 minutes ago, Bills_06 said: What segment was he talking about it, do you know? I do find this interesting because it seems similar to the Goodwin situation. First he heard that SLU is feeling good about their standing and then later comes out and says look for an announcement from him SLU fans will love. A few weeks ago he talked about how he heard SLU loves their chances with Gordon and Watson and how huge that would be to get a commitment in a few weeks from one or both of them. Seems crazy early for Gordon to commit so I'll withhold excitement until more comes out but Frank does seem to be close to Ford. It was toward the end of his opening segment today. Then I texted the show for clarification during segment 3 and that's when he said it was Gordon. Looks like today's show was posted already: http://insidestl.com/radio-shows/the-press-box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLURadioBoy Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I listened to it again and he said he can't say it's definitely happening, but if he's reading the situation right, he could see him committing to SLU in the near future. He said Ford is going hard after Gordon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusam Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Could Gordon be the top 100 recruit Doc B was talking about? I wonder if this effects French's recruitment since they both play PF even though they are year apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only caught the tail end of it though so I'm not sure if he's hearing this or if it's his own speculation. I assume he's talking about a 2018 kid, but I can't say that for sure. EDIT: He later said it is Carte' Are Gordon, so this news would belong in the 2018 thread. Sounds like it's just speculation on his part, but that would certainly be outstanding news. That would be great news if it comes true. Just watching the young man from afar it seemed as if he might want to get away from home for college. But I think he would be better off staying close to home. This is a little different than Goodwin tho... He wanted to stay close to home despite the offers he received.

Cowboy Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 -is Gordon still involved with the SLU women's soccer recruit? this could impact his desire to stay home -by chance are Gordan and Goodwin buds? -not to hijack a recruiting thread, but the women's soccer team is having a very nice season, need to keep the coach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwyjibo Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Hasahn French's school is very close to the Hall of Fame in Springfield, MA (less than a mile). Read into this what you will but UMass will be having an open practice at the Hoop Hall of Fame Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheChosenOne Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 It would be interesting to look back at social media activity with regards to some of the recruits we have been involved with and whether they ended up committing to the school that their social media activity was most focused on. It looks like UMass has some fans tweeting at French fairly consistently (he is more of a local kid for them, so more of their fans know who he is) and he retweets those, but maybe he retweets everything that mentions him. We should enlist a group of students to tweet our primary recruits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
