Dwayne's_World Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Alright guys, I have received word that Justin and Jayson will be visiting campus on Wednesday, April 22nd, at 5:00 pm. A week from tomorrow. Thus, the plan will be exactly the same as before. Everyone will gather in the quad area around 4:00-4:30 pm on the 22nd, and then Jayson and his dad will walk down west pine past the quad at 5:00 pm on their way to the meeting at the Fetz with Prez Pestello, Crews, and staff. Let's give Jayson and his dad the big warm welcome that they deserve from us Bills fans! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwayne's_World Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 This is official? Yes, per Justin. Remember, he's not telling Jayson about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SluSignGuy Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I am somehow going to guess that Jayson Tatum may or may not be aware of a web site that has devoted over 1000 posts to his recruitment.....he may see this thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also why we should cut all the negative crap about the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufan13 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I'm not going to turn this into tee-ball and make everyone a winner and never say anything negative about the program when the facts are right in front of us. But...I will be at the rally and do everything possible within the rules to try to help convince JT to come to SLU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being fair and challenging is very different than incessantly bashing the coach, the players and everyone in the AD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is going to be tough to get him to pass up the chance of playing there. Interesting though his comment about deciding soon. That would be great if he just signed with SLU next week at the Rally that is being set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufan13 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 He seems close to deciding. We need to pull out all the stops when he visits Wednesday. Duke winning it all might end up fuoking us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe_davola Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 This is to be expected when going up against a powerhouse like this. This kid really looks like he has a good head on his shoulders and to me I'm impressed that he is showing the appreciation he is. I don't think every #1 player in the country would be shocked or in awe that they were visited like Jayson is...some of these guys would expect it. Jayson seems to be a real class act to me. We knew this going in that this wasn't a walk in the park. Like it has been said a million times, SLU's advantages are completely different than Duke's. We really need to reiterate what he will mean to our program, the playing time he will have here, and how great it would be to play in front of family and friends and how he will become an instant SLU legend. Get into the kid's heart because we know he loves St. Louis and the University does mean something to him. I don't think that changes either if he decides to go to Duke but I still think we have a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsmith19 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Thats why we should tell him how much we want him to home to SLU. It's also why we should cut all the negative crap about the program. What makes you think he wants to come to a program where the fans are cool with negative stuff going on? I sincerely doubt anything negative has been discussed here that Tatum wasn't already aware of. Hopefully D_W and the other current students get a good group together next week. I think that matters a lot more than what boosters and other random alumni say online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bauman Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 A couple of points: it seems strange that he said he didn't have any visits set up meaning that the SLU visit that crashed might have been set up quickly at the last minute. The other thing I really liked was his commitment to helping young kids IN ST LOUIS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm Tatum why would I want to come to a program where people are calling for the coaches head and calling future teammates like Jolly useless? [Jimbo] It's one thing to be realalistic and another to be nasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Jimbo] It's one thing to be realalistic and another to be nasty. Do you know what UK, Duke and UNC fans would say about any player that put up numbers like Jolly for their team??? Much worse than I, I promise you. Regardless, I'm done with the wash basin. The AD in general has now drawn my ire for their ineptitude. Hopefully they make up for it with a great visit for FBJT and the other recruits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufan13 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 If I'm Tatum, why would I want to come to a program where we make the Tournament 4 times since 2000 and where we just finished 298th in kenpom. Let's seriously stop acting like what we say on here matters. If any players or recruits really care about what we say, then they have problems bigger than basketball. SLU has a great selling point. So does Duke. Let's let it play out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Focus on the positives and the steps we have made in the last few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
