kshoe Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 @BWeixScout: No date set at the moment. The two have been in touch, though. RT @teamwefine when is he visiting SLU? Sounds like no news over the next day or so would be good news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufan13 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Sounds like no news over the next day or so would be good news. For sure. But we need to get him in campus very soon. We play in Rhode Island Tuesday and we're staying on the road for Dayton next Saturday so I'd say Saturday and Sunday might be our only chances to bring him in. Unless he's visited already and went unreported because it was so local Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiseAndGrind Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Sounds like no news over the next day or so would be good news. Except that he managed to visit Mizzou but they can't figure out a time to skip on down to Chaifetz? Bring the kid to the Yale game, wine and dine after, and get a commitment Sunday morning. Not difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Kid hasn't seemed in a hurry to visit any school. He might have his mind pretty made up before he does any visits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havelj Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Frank Cusumano @Frank_Cusumano1h Cameron Biedscheid, the transfer from Notre Dame, is in Columbia right meeting with Missouri coaches. #MIZZOUtigers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACE Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 The kid can play for a couple of used car salesmen in Haith and Fuller who have won as many NCAA Tourney games as I have or he can stay closer to home and play for a real basketball coach and be mentored by one of the greatest players in Big 10 history/13-year NBA player. The choice should be clear, but I'm not overly optimistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCoastBilliken Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 A bunch of hype for CB and Mi$$ouri. Absolutely nothing on CB and SLU. Can someone tell me WHY TT wont write about our recruiting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NH Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 While he very well may be a very good recruiter, I think some on here may be overrating the name recognition of Calbert Cheaney. As someone who is the same age as Cameron and older than all of the high school kids we recruit, I can safely say his playing career was a little before our time. Not saying his NBA pedigree isn't important or beneficial, but it isn't like these guys all hear the name "Calbert Cheaney" and immediately become interested.

I think it really helps once he starts talking to the recruits but I don't know that it is as attention grabbing as some make it out to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll admit I had never heard of Calbert Cheney until he was hired here. He finished his IU career in 1993. High school seniors graduating in 2013 were born in 94 or 95.

Recruits' parents - especially in the state of Indiana - are much more likely to be familiar with Cheaney, which certainly doesn't hurt when it comes to landing those all-important living room meetings.

I'm not saying it would close the deal, but if a player has pro aspirations and I'm a parent in that situation, certainly I would be a lot more impressed with a Calbert than a used car salesman type.

I cannot figure out how to read that board efficiently. Do you have to click on every single response, wait for it to load, just to find some two word comment from one of those dipshits?

I'm assuming he means slu since mizzou has technically been declining since getting eliminated in the Tourney as a 2 seed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kshoe Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 It's a huge cluster fug. I found many of the comments about SLU to be surprisingly respectful. The poster HissingPrigs has said some solid things in that thread, most importantly that SLU is very much still involved with CB. The poster MUTGR used to post on here all the time but stopped about 5 years ago. He's got a law degree from SLU so he's a relatively intelligent person but his hard-on hate of SLU is something else.
