I think they would have put the program in a bad spot cutting someone after the season started so I can believe they told him no thanks at this point. That is true. I was kind of wondering what the plan would be since they already have a 10 man roster with a few guys getting limited minutes in the 1st session.

If Gordon wanted to play there they would have welcomed him with open arms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 The tweet says he's playing with Team Penny for this event, but what about future ones? Can guys switch AAU teams any time? Theoretically, could he play on a different team for every event he chooses to play in? Or are you 'committed' to an AAU program for a certain period of time?

thetorch Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Team Penny is from Memphis and sponsored by Anfernee Hardaway. They won the EYBL in 14 and 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each EYBL teams get points off of their performance in EYBL play. Top teams qualify for Peach Jam. I believe you have to play in two EYBL sessions to be eligible to play in Peach Jam (if they make it that far). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3star_recruit Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 6'6 SF Jared Rhoden is averaging 16 ppg 5 rpg through 3 games for the New York Lightning this weekend. Efficient from 2 and from 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLURadioBoy Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Ford and company were on hand to watch Gordon last night. Unfortunately Gordon left the game with an ankle injury. Hopefully he's ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiseAndGrind Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 A question for people that more know about recruiting tactics than me: Does the coaching staff mostly just focus on Thatch & Gordon this weekend? Or do they catch a Gordon & Thatch game here & there, but mostly focus on non-committed players? I realize no one has a real answer, but it's an interesting topic regarding strategy.

Just a guess but Frank has talked about how when Ford has a player he wants he focuses most of his energy there. I would guess at least one coach and often Ford being the one going to all of Gordon's games. Not sure if he will be able to get a better player than him and as of now, those two take up all available scholarships for 2018. Yes, I realize there are always transfers but unless Ford thinks or knows of one that could happen before the year, I am sure it makes it extremely difficult to get a kid that has a lot of great offers to go to SLU making them over committed on scholarships.

Gordan and Thatch do not take up all 2018 scholarships. There is still one available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3star_recruit Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 The highest priority kids will get the most looks but since the games are staggered, there's always time to evaluate the other kids on your board. That includes high priority recruits from younger classes, like EJ Liddell and Mario McKinney. Below are the 2018 Billiken targets that were at EYBL Indianapolis. Jared Rhoden has had the best weekend so far: Carte'Are Gordon (Team Penny, only played one game before he twisted his ankle) Fred Thatch (BBE) Karrington Davis (BBE) Joseph Reece (BBE) Jared Rhoden (New York Lightning) Junub Chuol (New York Lightning) Vincent Williams (All Ohio Red) Jalen Lecque (Southern Stampede) Chase Audige (PSA) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwyjibo Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 SLU recruit Jordan Walker (NY/NJ) is expected to announce today.
