Pistol Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Other 2017 offer list updates: -Ridder's recruitment has started to blow up. DePaul, Arkansas, and Boise State have now offered, and Xavier, West Virginia, Iowa State, Oklahoma State, and Nebraska have gotten involved. Ridder says he expects those Big 12 schools to offer soon, along with Northern Iowa. He's visiting Xavier in June. -Eastern added a few more offers, including Ohio State and Virginia Tech. He's a big-time player. -After last week's Evansville offer, Yess now has an Ohio offer. -Not much going on with Pierre-Lewis or Gunn. Same programs involved, but not much movement.

NH Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 This may not be entirely relevant to SLU but Brandon McKissic from SLUH has picked up offers from DePaul and Murray State. He is a 6'1" combo guard that's been mentioned before. I know Claggett has a good relationship with SLU still. Would personally be fun to see Ford and staff show interest in McKissic.

VeniceMenace Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Can we leave Crews behind? He is water under the bridge. He did and he did not do a lot of things... fine, this is our baseline, let's look forward, not backwards. It really does not matter why he did or did not do anything any longer. If he spoiled our chances with some recruits, it is too bad but it is what it is, there will be others. Old Guy, thank you for informing everyone that "he did and he did not do a lot of things"...

Old guy Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Venice, it is better to put the guy behind us rather than continue to seek knowledge as to exactly how much he screwed us. Just leave the stuff alone. We are moving forward, which is better than wallowing in the cr_p left behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clock_Tower Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 How many offers, in total, do we have outstanding? Maybe just new players and shortened time, but the number seems high. The effort sure appears to be there from Ford and staff. Good job so far. Hope we land some this Fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 How many offers, in total, do we have outstanding? For 2016, we appear to have 6 outstanding offers: DeJesus, Edwards, Foreman, Johnson, Martin (I think), and Walker. For 2017, we have 16 offers, although a few could be stale. I can confirm at least 12. For 2018, Ford has offered two (Wills and Hyatt), but I don't know if he's refreshed the offers to Easley, Finke, Gordon, Ramey, and Watson. In total, we have anywhere between 20 and 30, and possibly others that haven't hit the online radar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Can you tell if this year's number of offers are similar to year's past? More? Less? I don't think we've ever shown as many as 16 in a single class (2017), at least since I've been keeping track. However, the more time goes on, the more this stuff appears on social media, recruiting sites, local news outlets, blogs, etc. We've also had three consecutive coaching staffs prior to Ford who liked to keep things close to the vest, and that spans the entire existence of social media, basically. Even with all those disclaimers, I'd say that this is probably at the high end of what we've had out at any single time, particularly for a single class. 20-30 outstanding offers definitely seems higher than any single point in the Crews era. This isn't to say that Crews, Majerus, and Soderberg weren't recruiting this many or more guys at once; I just don't think they were as forthcoming about offering this many at once. I expect to still see more offers, for what it's worth. We're still lower than a lot of BCS conference programs in terms of current offers. Given Ford's background, I'd think we'll continue to offer more guys at once than this program is used to seeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Right on. And his name is Justyn Mutts, which is cool. And he picked up a LaSalle offer today. The A10 loves the Mutts. In other offer news, Ridder got offers from Xavier and UNI, and Goodwin has yet another offer, this one from Pitt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeSmetBilliken Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Are yon not counting Witt for a reason? I saw Jon Rothstein's tweet saying that Whitt was considering SLU yesterday afternoon. Given the time stamp of Pistol's post (yesterday morning), my guess is that he was like me and wasn't considering Whitt as an option until it was reported as such.

Pistol Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Are yon not counting Witt for a reason? Yeah, because he asked the question before the Whitt news broke. You can add 1 to the 2016 numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we count transfers as 2016, or should there be a whole other thread on them since they could really be any class? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACE Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Led his team to the Kentucky state title. Doesn't have a ton of offers yet, but has visited Xavier and Louisville is showing some interest. Kentucky will be another natural recruiting area for Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Taveion Hollingsworth: SG, 6-3, 170, Lexington, KY (Paul Laurence Dunbar) – Offers: SLU, Eastern Kentucky, Morehead State, Winthrop, Samford, East Tennessee State. Interest: Xavier, Louisville, West Virginia, Wichita State, Western Kentucky, Murray State, Wright State, Northern Kentucky, UNC-Greensboro, Wofford. Latest News: Hollingsworth received an offer from SLU. EKU was the first to offer back in December, but his recruitment accelerated as the season progressed. He took a recent campus visit to Xavier, West Virginia said he was a priority, and Louisville is now involved. He calls UK his “dream offer”. Scouting Report: Hollingsworth was a first-team all-state selection after being named MVP of the Sweet 16 in March. He’s a scoring combo guard who plays with a lot of confidence. He scores in a variety of ways, handles the ball well with long arms for his size, and plays with a tough, even temperament.
