RUBillsFan Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Not sure exactly how seriously to take this, but Renee Knott said he talked to Cam and Drew Halen yesterday. Said Cam said it was still between SLU, Mizzou, and UCLA. The Bruins were in the mix because he dad lives in Cali. Halen said he thought Mizzou was the best fit for Cam. Then Renee stated that Cam might not be able to get into SLU because of academic reasons. He added this almost like an after thought to the whole discussion. Maybe some of the academic stuff coming out of ND wasn't bs. The whole saga has been so convoluted and strange that I don't think I'm all that disappointed that it seems like he won't wind up at SLU.

kshoe Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Its 100% official per Dave Matter and other Mizzou tweeters. Apparently CB won't be giving an interview about how this all went down so we'll likely never know the truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUBillsFan Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Drew Hanlen (former Belmont player, current "strategic skill coach/consultant") seems overly involved in the process: Drew Hanlen @DrewHanlen17m It's official... @CamBiedscheid will transfer to Mizzou. He's looking forward to a fresh start & a new opportunity! Headed to workout now! Drew Hanlen @DrewHanlen15h @GreggPalermo @NateLatsch @reneknottsports He wasn't happy at ND. Lost himself as a person. Style of play barely played a role in transfer Drew Hanlen @DrewHanlen15h @hssportscaravan @NateLatsch Thanks fellas! I appreciate @reneknottsports coming out. Cam has a second chance to make his dream a reality! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Hanlen's large role in this seems a little strange. I guess he is now Cam's spokesman. Weird for a college player to have somebody not related to him to do his talking if he is not talking himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonwich Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Yeah, but his grandfather (Hanlen) was a prince and the market on Manchester still has some of the best steaks in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 He sound Effed up and selfish. We don't need no Effed up selfish players. Good luck at Mizzery and pray you don't run into Savannah St in the first round of the NCAA. Go Norfolk St, forever my 2nd favorite college hoops team!

ACE Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Hanlen's large role in this seems a little strange. I guess he is now Cam's spokesman. Weird for a college player to have somebody not related to him to do his talking if he is not talking himself. The whole thing is strange. The rumors all started back in the summer with a "source" presumably his dad talking to Ben about the possibility of the kid transferring to SLU. Then he decides to go back to ND and redshirt. I never had a good vibe about daddy and the way he went about it. SPUMAC was going to be creative and make it work $$$ Just another gypsy to add to the Haith circus.

Weird for a college player to have somebody not related to him to do his talking if he is not talking himself. I think Drew Hanlen works with Cameron as a trainer/skill coach (not sure how exactly to define that role) and it sounds like he is helping him get his mind right. Drew seems like a really good guy, so I would not view his involvement as a negative. It looks like Drew also works with Chaminade guys D. Lee, Brad Beal, and now Jayson Tatum. Appears to run a player development program called Pure Sweat Basketball. Not sure why Cameron or his parents did not call Rene Knott or Frank Cusumano to let them know he committed to Mizzou or tweet it out instead of retweeting Drew's tweet.

Drew seems to border on agent in some of his activities. I know the Vanderbilt coaches don't like him because he convinced one of his trainees, John Jenkins, to declare for the NBA draft rather than remaining at Vandy.

brianstl Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 What qualifies Hanlen to help him get his mind right? Watching Lee and Beal playing this season (multiple seasons in Lee's case) it is clear defense is not one of the skills covered at pure sweat.

White Pelican Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 The hold up with Cam and Mizzou appears to be the fact that he would have to walk on to Mizzou this semester. Jankovic's scholarship is not available until after the spring semester according to the guy from The Columbian Tribune on 920 right now. Cam will have to pay his way this semester if he ends up at Mizzou. I saw the short interview with him last night on channel 5 and I wondered why he said "I want to play right away". I didn't think that was possible but evidently it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL Hoops Insider Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Hanley trains many NBA players, not just the Chain Ade guys. Also, scholarships are semester to semester. The scholarship vacated by Jankovic can be used on Biedscheid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMM28 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 The scholarship vacated by Jankovic can be used on Biedscheid Wrong. Scholarships are not semester by semester. The Jankovic scholarship, while not paying out money, cannot be allocated to any other player...transfer, walk on, nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scholarship vacated by Jankovic can be used on Biedscheid this from Dave Matter: Biedscheid (pronounced "beed-shide") can’t join the Tigers as a scholarship player until after the semester, Hanlen said, when the scholarship for departed sophomore Stefan Jankovic becomes available. Jankovic left the team in November with plans to transfer, but his scholarship is still on the books until May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moytoy12 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Wrong. Scholarships are not semester by semester.

Haith essentially has 26 scholarships a year to play with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgstl Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Drew played little roll, he told me a week ago that cam was already set on mizzou. Drew meets with cam for lessons 2 to 3 times a week( during the off season) for lessons. Hanlen would probably prefer him to be closer to stl since hanlen is constantly travelling.

Drew is also a trainer with jordan Clarkson and jabari brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwayne's_World Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Haith will be pulling out the money bags. I expect some violations of NCAA policy to be made within the next few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
