NH Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I give Stu a tiny bit of a break regarding recruiting. That is a topic that doesn't really lend itself well to PD coverage. Stu could make it his number 1 priority and Pistol would still be a better recruiting correspondent. I do wish Stu would do more player/coach features.

On a recruiting note, although Mickey Pearson seems to be more of a fallback option here, he took an official visit for Bradley this weekend. He was on campus there with two other wing types.

Do you know anything about the commitment Drake got last night? It seemed that Burgess and Roy made a pretty big deal out of it. Normally I wouldn't care, but I have kind of always liked Drake for some reason and the kid is a high school team as THT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 George Conditt is off the board to Iowa State. SLU offered but didn't make either of his cut lists. He's a big man and doesn't necessarily affect the ISU picture with regard to THT, but figured I'd share regardless. It's also quite a blow to Illinois, as I'm not sure what they have for a plan B big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetorch Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Ford and Tate reached out after his decommitment. First coaches to do so. Immediately rebuffed. Ramey, son and father, have never had any interest in SLU. That said it isn't a given that Ramey goes Adidas anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I don't like that he seemingly isn't considering the local school, but I like that Ford and company have been so quick to get involved with the star local kids and essentially beating other programs to the punch. Make the local kids say no to the home school as opposed to coming late to the party and sometimes making the kid and his team feel disrespected, that is how I felt with some of our previous coaches. And the most recent former head coach likely needed to hit on local kids since recruiting wasn't a strong suit of his staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almaman Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Guilty till proven but I have a hard time thinking there isn't a chance the Ramey's are dirty. That other family got 100K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Ramey was never going to come to SLU before or after the FBI investigation. His dad is an Adidas guy. They fund his AAU program. Now the shoe thing might not play a role this time around, but SLU has too many connections to big dog Nike AAU program in town that Ramey's dad is trying to compete with.

NH Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Ramey has also been fantasizing for the last 25 years about having a son play basketball under the bright lights of big time D1. Would be a huge dissapointment to that goal if he were to play at SLU. I never thought we'd have a chance at Ramey, though I bet he ends up being a really nice player somewhere else.

Pistol Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Vincent Williams committed to VCU. Relevant to us in a few ways: SLU offered at one point, Xavier offered after he announced his six finalists (VCU, Richmond, Duquesne, Wichita State, Akron, Toledo) and he could have made them less of a player for THT (along with yesterday's SG commitment, Keonte Kennedy), and he also could have taken Wichita State out of the running for Rhoden. VCU is now completely booked up for 2018. We've offered a number of players in common: Markquis Nowell, Will Richardson, Junub Char Chuol, Tyrese Williams, Omar Silverio (neither is on his list), but I don't know which of those are still fresh offers for SLU. They also offered Kevin Easley, an Indiana kid who Crews' staff offered a couple years ago, and Easley committed to VCU in January and decommitted in April, after the coaching change. He was looking like a Big Ten-level player early in HS but his star has fallen considerably over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
