SLU, I don't think Mizzou offered and I think they need more wings, they will lose 3 wings in 2018 and were short on quality wings to begin with.

HoosierPal Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Ya know, I am all for keeping the local kids here, but I really don't want a roster of only St. Louis area kids. We have been doing pretty good in the Metro NY area, with Bishop, Foreman, and French on board. Rhoden is from NY, so he could keep the window open. Macon has been doing a great job out in NY. Let's not shut him down by running out of scholarship. It would be great to land a Chi-town player. Will Horton-Tucker be Bailey's first recruit? Chicago has been good to SLU. We need to keep our foot in the door. Unless he is a local, top rated player, let's keep our options open elsewhere. There will be years when the local talent isn't up to par. We need to keep some of these other fertile areas interested in SLU. Let Corey pull in two a year, but then let's keep Macon and Bailey busy too.

STL Hoops Insider Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 You won't run out of scholarships, they are one year renewable and performance based. You always have as many as you need because you won't land every recruit you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that is good news. Thanks for the info. An "official" visit, I guess, would just make me think the recruitment is more serious. Got any other recruiting tidbits you could share? Please?

I' coached college basketball for years and worked with dozens of college coaches, I'm 100% nothing bad is going to happen. You don't run out of scholarships. Kids want to play, they see the writing on the wall or you tell them they won't play much and they will transfer. Kids don't want to sit, particularly in college basketball. They appreciate the honesty and not false hope. They don't want you to waste their time and eligibility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That kid is the exception, not the rule. That one kid won't be the one that makes you run out of scholarships and lose a kid you want. Don't ever worry about running out of 13 scholarships, nobody plays 13 people, you can always make room if you don't already have it.

If a HS coach sees you are chasing their former players off, you won't be welcome back on that campus, gym or summer team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
