billiken_roy Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 17 hours ago, DeSmetBilliken said: Pistol, do you know much about CBC's roster? A few weeks ago I saw that they had a player (think he was a freshman) with the last name of Love, and he was doing pretty well. Is it possible that the kid's father is Justin Love? JLove played with Justin Tatum, so I thought it might be a fit. Justin has three kids. two girls and a boy. the oldest is probably about 8 or 9 (girl) then his son is probably about 6 and the youngest girl is maybe 4 or 5. Justin lives in southern Madison county just off 70/55 near troy. currently Justin works in behavioral disorders at Belleville west and is the jv coach there (doing a great job btw). for those of you that didn't know, super sophomore ej liddell goes to Belleville west. nice to have a contact close.

Glorydays2013 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Description on Jared Rhoded's AAU team The team has produced such talents as former or current NBA or College stars such as Lamar Odom, Speedy Claxton, Charlie Villanueva, Curtis Sumpter, Duane Woodard, Joakim Noah and Jason Fraser. Based in Baldwin, NY, the Panthers are the proud title holders of an impressive 17 championships from the iS8/Nike, one of the toughest and most notable leagues in the northeast. Charles added, "The Panthers have been in the final four, thirteen of the last fifteen years." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NextYearBill Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 I'm sure this was mentioned somewhere, but Gordon was at the game last night. I literally spot him from across the area with ease. Man-child Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, it doesn't sound like the offspring of JLove is playing at CBC. Thanks for the input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't recognize the face, and looked older, so the guy could have been a coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a pipe dream given his talent level, but it would be nice if the senior celebrations made an impression on him and Gordon decided he wanted that, so he stuck around for 4 years.

Rhoden has really come on strong lately, with a lot of 30+ point games in this calendar year. His recruitment has largely been confined to the NE so far, but I'd expect this spring/summer in AAU to bring a lot more offers. This appears to be a case of Van Macon bringing SLU to the party early - even if Rhoden is a somewhat late bloomer. He also plays alongside a highly recruited freshman PG, Posh Alexander, who already has national attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only schools with 2 commitments are UNC, The Ohio State and Saint Louis. Another for what it's worth comment is that most of the early commitments are to local schools, e.g. both OSU commits are from Columbus, but still it show the effort TF and staff are making to get this program up to Fr. B's top-fifty dream and above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almaman Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I'd like to see the equivalent rankings for this year's college freshman and see how many of those local early signings stay with that choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Lots of 2018 recruits still remain: In class 4, the favorites won out, so we have Sikeston (Thatch) vs. Hillsboro (Pinkley) at Farmington and Vashon (Reece, McKinney) vs. St. Mary's at Parkway West. Both games are 3/7 at 6:00 - GOSEETHEKIDSPLAY. In class 5, Chaminade (Davis, Hellems) has Pattonville at Lindenwood, Webster Groves (Gordon) has Battle at Maryville, and CBC (Catchings) has Lafayette at St. Charles West. All games are 3/8 at 6:00 - GOSEETHEKIDSPLAY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glorydays2013 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 People last night were talking about how we should be worried if Gordon becomes an all American. Kid seems pretty committed but should we be worried about that?

Pistol Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 3 hours ago, Franchise_08 said: What the hell is Battle? Like they said, newer public school due to growth in Columbia's school district. They won the worst district in state; no one entered with a record better than .500; Battle is 12-15 after winning it. Webster should win by 30 without playing their hardest game. Why? Because Missouri seeds geographically, not based on quality. They map all 81 Class 5 schools, and cluster them into 16 districts. Then they pod the districts for sectionals 1-4, 13-16, 5-8, and 9-12. Basically the same process for all classes. So you wind up with districts like 4, which had Chaminade, SLUH, Ritenour, and Ladue - all quality teams, with a couple of the better teams in state - and districts like 8, with Troy Buchanan, Battle, Holt, and Jeff City - none of which are any good. There's also the situation in Class 4, where Vashon, St. Mary's, Sikeston, and Hillsboro are all in the same quadrant, so only one can go to state. But there are only a couple other Class 4 teams that could be considered as good as these 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 It also bears mentioning that Whitfield (Torrence Watson) is still alive, and takes on Hogan Prep Academy (KC) on 3/9 in the semifinals at Mizzou. The final would be 3/11, should they win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A McDonald all American or something else? either way, he wouldn't be named an all American until his senior year and he'all be signing his LOI next November so him becoming an AA wouldn't change anything. Larry Hughes was a McDonalds All-American by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
