Slu Let The Dogs Out Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Sorry, I'm sure this topic has already been discussed but I saw Ben Weixlmann's tweet on the billikens.com main page and was wondering to whom he was referring. The link takes you to the subscription page. He added a dollar sign in his tweet so I kind of think it was just a joke tweet? I tried looking on the Billiken scout page but didn't see anything there either. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVBilliken Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Wow, looks like he has quite a few BCS offers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeniceMenace Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 He did have quite a few offers from majors, but most got pulled off the table even though he had great junior, senior seasons...perhaps due to not qualifying academically. One of the better players in the state...He fills up the scoresheet, including assists, which Crews must find appealing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills By 40 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 All of the sites I looked at showed multiple offers/interests but SLU wasn't listed on any of them... Do we have validation for this? Or is it just wishful thinking? Seems like he'd be a good fit but can anybody find stats? I came up empty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeSmetBilliken Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Seems like he'd be a good fit but can anybody find stats? I came up empty. Not sure about exact numbers, but it's safe to say his scoring numbers are good. He's the all time leading scorer in the history of Lake County Illinois.

Or is it just wishful thinking? Seems like he'd be a good fit but can anybody find stats? I came up empty. There was a tweet indicating he was visiting and that we were in his Top 5.

Or is it just wishful thinking? Seems like he'd be a good fit but can anybody find stats? I came up empty. I was doing some research when this was first posted and I found at least one article from the Chicago area from several months ago which listed his offers and the Bills were on the list.

wgstl Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 If you look on his VC page, the tweets on the side show several different people saying he was going to visit soon, along with cincy and Minnesota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgstl Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Also says hes "top 20 all time in scoring in Illinois," not bad. One question I have is, do you think the staff is looking for 6'6 banger rather than a shooter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy03 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Also says hes "top 20 all time in scoring in Illinois," not bad. One question I have is, do you think the staff is looking for 6'6 banger rather than a shooter?From his videos it seems like he can do both pretty well. Highlight videos are deceiving though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NH Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 If his character and grades check out then I would be very excited about Yarborough. There must be a reason that so many big schools backed off of him, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMM28 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 My (limited) understanding of the situation is that his grades were a mess, but they are trending toward qualifier status. I would assume most big schools backed off during the mess part but are now coming back. He is taking visits to SLU, Bradley, Minnesota, Cincinnati, and another I can't think of off the top of my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseman Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I thought in another thread someone said he now does qualify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMM28 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I thought in another thread someone said he now does qualify. The high school year isn't quite over so not 100% yet, but it is now expected that he will qualify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmith19 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 From his videos it seems like he can do both pretty well. Highlight videos are deceiving though It would be funny for someone to edit a Jake Barnett highlight video that makes him look like the second coming of Kevin Lisch. You could totally do it. All the NBA range threes, the brilliant guarding job on the guy from UMass, none of the airballs, none of the missed front ends of 1 and 1s, none of the flagrant fouls in the tourney, etc....some posters here would probably crap bricks. A similar video should be done for Glaze that really DOES make him look like a Rodman/Barkley clone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills16 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Retweeted by Jim Benson HoopsLifestyle TV @OnHTV Mar 30 Milik Yarbrough (@MilikY14) 6'6 WF 2014 noted that Bradley is in his Top 5 but he will also be visiting St. Louis, Cincinnati & Minnesota.
