milwaukeebill Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 The list of powerhouses is long and he's a 5 star. Would love to see you get him, but he's a one and done and will play somewhere else. He can write his ticket and it wouldn't surprise me at all to see him go straight to The Show. I would bet you anything in the world that he doesn't go straight to the association. Please pm me if interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billikenboy Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Won't matter whether you get him or not SLU will be fine. Good additional piece to already solid and developing roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billikenboy Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Do you see me laughing? SLU is not a one man team. If he comes then good and if he doesn't so what, we will continue on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slu72 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Plus, who he might bring in on his coat tails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiseAndGrind Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Tyler cook, nai Carlisle, and Tatum. Book it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billikenboy Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 That would be nice but I won't hold my breath! Potential is one thing, high school games are played in small gyms, college games are determined on the court. It is a good thing Kansas is a lock to win the NCAA title because of Wiggins. Take that for what it is worth... 13 solid recruits is what will make us a contender! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshoe Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Plus, who he might bring in on his coat tails. Honestly, I think the idea that a top prospect will bring in all these other top kids is over blown. Everyone knows he will be a one and done so I doubt any other kids in his class will pick SLU just so they can play one year out of four with him. Also, we only have two scholarships available for his class (of course that can change based on transfers, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Oh, jeez, don't open up the transfer can o' worms. At least not until April or May when Taj Mahal 79 can give us his annual list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westy03 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I think he's learned his lesson after predicting Jett after his frosh year! I think Taj had Jett, McCall, and Evans transferring at some point in their career Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billikenboy Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Maybe it happens, maybe it does not. The word One-n-Done is being tossed about around this kid as a sophomore already which means to me he takes his talents to the bigger stage school if he is able to continue to hold those offers come his senior year. Great if he is comes here and continues to improve through HS graduation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheChosenOne Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Word is we are the leader with one person that will have a lot of say in the decision. What are you hearing and who is the person, I am kind of assuming it would be his mom since she would appear to call the shots. Most of the recruiting pundits have Kentucky and Kansas as the leaders for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great if he is comes here and continues to improve through HS graduation. If he is truly a one and done lottery pick type whether he plays his one season at Kansas, Kentucky, or SLU may not matter a whole lot. It may actually benefit him to play at SLU where he would be the featured player as opposed to Kentucky or Kansas who likely have two other similarly ranked kids just in his class.

TheChosenOne Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Right, I thought for some reason that there was potential for him to play more at SLU - but I think I was wrong on that. God...could you imagine a team with Hughes, Tatum, and Love......sigh You are actually more right. Tatum could have played that final season at SLU, but Romar and the coaches decided it was time for him to move along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDKAT Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I would bet you anything in the world that he doesn't go straight to the association. Please pm me if interested. You're prolly right, but this kid is going to go early. He's that good. If you wanna build a 4 year team, this isn't the guy you wanna do it with. Kentucky and Kansas can handle these kinda guys and replace them when they go...VCU and SLU aren't at that level yet. I hate to say it, but it's the truth. 4 stars are the guys we want. Even good solid 3 stars. That's the reality until either of us becomes a legit blue-blood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheChosenOne Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Heard the mom wants him to stay close to home and would prefer that he go to SLU.Thanks for the info, real interesting. It seems like mom is calling the shots over dad (they do not appear to have any relationship at all based on what I have seen from when they were both at his game, don't even acknowledge each others presence despite walking past), so that is huge. Did she go to SLU?Here is another worthless observation from me, I noticed when Haith and Roy went to the Chaminade/CBC game back in December she did not give much attention to Haith despite him sitting a few people from her, but actually approached Roy to talk to him, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NH Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Everyone I've talked to is saying the kid is in love with Kentucky's program. But I've heard similar things about his mom. Could be interesting. I'm glad we are recruiting his teammate, Tyler Cook, and his AAU point guard, Jordan Barnes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
