Pistol Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 On 3/28/2018 at 9:13 AM, Pistol said: Correct, both SLU and Xavier recruited him out of HS. He wound up going to Dartmouth despite being a higher-level target because of family connections there. His mom was a 3-time Ivy League POY and All-American back in the day, and she's also a big-time donor and Board of Trustees member there (she's the CEO of Anthem). Anyway, Boudreaux played his first two seasons there and started every game, then decided to sit out this year while he focused on academics, so he graduated in three seasons and is eligible for two more seasons immediately as a grad transfer. He's a nice get for whoever lands him (Xavier could still be in play if they elevate Steele to HC). I don't know if Louisville will offer, or if Purdue is now the clear frontrunner or what, but I don't see SLU getting in the mix here. As a follow-up, Boudreaux committed to Purdue today.

Not sure how you get through the day if this qualifies as "sickening". NH and Littlebill like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know all fan bases have some fans that act like that, but it is how the vast majority of Illini fans act. I love when Illinois acts like they're not just yet another state school with their "academic standards". Puh-leese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VeniceMenace Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Highlights from that Kyky Tandy/Detorrian Ware faceoff...couple cutaways show TFord and Calipari in the stands. SLU showing interest in Ware (#33, red shoes), who appears to be the real deal offensively...hard to see him playing any D. Couple nice passes from him as well: http://www.yoursportsedge.com/2018/03/06/highlight-reel-second-region-championship-game/ More T-Ware highlights, lot of easy baskets but throws a mean tomahawk at the end: http://www.yoursportsedge.com/2017/12/29/spotlight-athlete-christian-countys-detorrion-ware/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Why does everyone assume that the main reason Ford was at that game was Ware and not Kyky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, he may well have been there primarily for Kyky. There was a photo of Ford talking with Ware after the game and SLU has been listed in a couple places as showing interest in him.

Pistol Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I have added both to the recruiting lists. Ford was photographed with Ware, as Venice says, but he also saw Tandy and given his ties to the area, it'd be hard to say he isn't interested. That said, Tandy says UK is the dream school and he's holding out for that. Who knows, he might have a shot. Louisville was interested before Mack took over, but I wouldn't be surprised to see them come through with an offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiseAndGrind Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Saw a tweet from Rothstein that listed interested schools for Mark Smith. SLU wasn't listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Omar Silverio is reopening his recruitment after getting his release from Santa Clara. He says "due to some changes there" but the two coaches he cited as his reasons for signing there - Herb Sendek and Julius Hodge - are both still there. Not sure what's up. He had a SLU offer, along with offers from Dayton, Rhode Island, VCU, UMass, Fordham, USF, Tulsa, and some smaller northeastern schools. He's a guard from St. Raymond's HS in the Bronx. He's got good size - 6-4, 185 after growing a couple inches in the past year - and can really shoot it, too. He made a big jump his senior year, filling it up in the points column. Might be worth getting back in touch with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Due to some changes" could mean that Halle Berry showed him around campus during his visit but now he knows she's dating the starting running back and he doesn't want to come anymore.

johnbj14 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Referencing above: Anthony Mack is a 6-6 freshman from University of Wyoming who sat out this season without ever having seen the court due to recurring concussion issues. According to 24/7 he was a 3 star recruit who had a good deal of interest out of HS. He had offers that included Georgia, Memphis, and Villanova.

Mack made sure he named them to totally remove Louisville from contention. Louisville is staying away from these two for a reason. There might be more to drop from the shoe scandal.
