Good deal. I was curious what I had posted 10 days ago that warranted a response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeniceMenace Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Hughes and Pickett seem like similar players, hard one to call. Since he's local, a JGOOD connection and eligible for 2017, advantage Pickett... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandy Glaze started for that team, not Barnett. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusam Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Seton Hall got a commit from a 6'10" power forward. I wonder if that pushes Whaley to us? The only one making a prediction on 247 has him coming to SLU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NextYearBill Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Glaze starting was always so weird to me... He'd come in for 6 minutes like a chicken with his head cutoff, then depart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLURadioBoy Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 So I know Santos, Pickett and Whaley visited. Who am I forgetting? EDIT: Never mind, I forgot about Turner-Morris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only one making a prediction on 247 has him coming to SLU. That's a good question. Seton Hall has 2 scholarships available after this commitment. I know a guard is a priority with at least one of those. They probably have room for another big man, but this certainly crowds things up a bit more.

moytoy12 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Not sure it has been confirmed, but since it has been speculated about on the board, this espn article re: transfers has Gillman leaving: http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/19187379/where-college-basketball-best-transfers-going-2017-18-season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visit went great and both sides feel this way. I'm hearing this from both sides. PT is the biggest issue at the played position as if will be earned and most likely shared to a decent degree. The rub is this: do you want to be a part of something special especially with a group of locals (in your front yard) and make a memorable four years with some NCAA runs; or, be a big fish in a small pond (instant starter with tons of PT somewhat close to home). The staff still feels really good about JP. With 3 to give and plenty of visits coming in there will be slots filled. This will ultimately come down to whether JP wants to be a part of a winner with opportunity to be a main contributor or does he want to be a main contributor with a questionable chance of winner. We will see which is more important to him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorB Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Pelican's account sounds a lot like what I've heard. I think we have a better than 50-50 shot at Picket; actually it's uncanny because I was just signing on to say this, and to say that we should also add another big in the next few days, from what I'm hearing -- along with one other item: I'm hearing that Gillman's scholly is considered open but he intends to stay and graduate from SLU, so he will not transfer. Not sure if he intends to play or not -- anyone?? Bueller?? (He'd be a good practice body and he knows the system, but I would totally understand if he did not want to play...) postcript: I was glad to see Zeke's dad on here and welcomed his comments. I enjoyed having Zeke and saw awesome improvement from him. I saw him attempt defense in October and it was so high school it was an embarrassment. He really improved and I wish him well at his next school, where he can get lots of minutes and score a lot of points. My be wishes from a grateful fan, thanks Zeke!!!

Regarding playing time, it is great that we are back to a situation where kids will really have to compete for it. I want kids who believe they are good enough to earn playing time and not expect it to be handed to them. I think there is still an opportunity for a wing (3) to come in and earn some PT if they are good enough. Which of the bigs do you feel is the biggest priority?

Apparently the family wants him close and mentioned the cost of travel being an issue, so that would seem to make SLU and Mizzou the most likely options. I just think tying it to the Gillmann situation is disingenuous, like we weren't interested until that happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think tying it to the Gillmann situation is disingenuous, like we weren't interested until that happened. Maybe the conversation was leaning AG to pursue a GA program or something in the coaching side of thing so his scholarship would be available to Tilmon; AG being a team guy probably knew his playing days were coming to an end, yet wanted to stay involved with the game/program...

slufan13 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Tilmon has major red flags to me but I won't pretend that I wouldn't be excited if he came to SLU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
