Clock_Tower Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Nice article. Thanks for posting. Smart idea for these kids to use prep school instead of a redshirt year thereby leaving the redshirt option open in case of injury. Anyone know what scholarships were actually available to him coming out of high school (prior to prep school) had he decided to go straight to college a year ago? If I recall correctly, we were interested in Welmer (not sure Crews would have actually offered him without prep school) but I do not recall any mention of Neufeld. Again, how did he find us? or we find him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierPal Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 I remember a story this past summer that said Crews and Company saw every game Neufeld played in the Las Vegas Summer AAU tourney. So they knew about him before then but likely zeroed in on him then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basketbill Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I am hoping we see a stud, but the article has no objective data to make me confident. "Driving on slower defenders"? Mr Neufeld welcome to SLU, show me the talent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irishdude Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I know that Washington and some other teams wanted him after Vegas but only if he did not reclassify. The word was that he was going to reclassify and take one of those offers but as we now know, he changed his mind. I believe those names were put out by Ben W so will see if I can find them.

brianstl Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 The two offers biggest offers he had outside of SLU from what I understand were Colorado and Saint Mary's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianstl Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 This is going to be the reality for most bigs we land. It wasn't meant as a shot. both those programs have a recent history of some success. I am pretty high on Neufeld's future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct but before he reclassified and during the summer he got a lot of attention from other schools that could only sign him if he did not reclassify which he almost did but changed his mind.Ultimately he decided between SLU and St Mary's.

HoosierPal Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 A story in the news services said he got a telephone call from Duke right before he committed to SLU. No offer indicated in the story, only interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littlebill Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Neufeld will be playing for the Canada U19 team this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeSmetBilliken Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Neufeld will be playing for the Canada U19 team this summer. Canada has been producing some studs in the last few years, so that should be a pretty good accomplishment for Neufeld. Get him some extra experience. Hopefully it doesn't hinder his chances to get acclimated to the team this summer though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Only a positive here. Remember how much better Ian came back after international competition? Good for Matt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwayne's_World Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Haven't really heard or seen anything about Neufeld in a while, but he could be an absolute stud for us next year. He could be to Tatum what Mozgov is to Lebron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littlebill Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Maybe we will see a battle of future bills at this tournament. The Canadians and Neufeld against USA and FBJT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishdude Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Maybe we will see a battle of future bills at this tournament. The Canadians and Neufeld against USA and FBJT Hopefully Matt will have a great showing like last summer and JT will see what a stud he could be playing with as a Billiken and especially knowing that he can make him even better on the court.

brianstl Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Looking at their roster, I would hope that he gets some consistent minutes. It looks like Egi and Urquhart will be his main competition. Egi was a freshman at Harvard last season. Egi played 11 games last season and scored 11 points total. Urquhart was a freshman at Vermont last season. He only played one minute against us, but seemed to find a role for Vermont in the postseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
