He recruited the area well at MO State. Keith Pickens, Nathan Scheer, among others. He definitely recruited locally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida trip in already finalized, and yes Springfield is in the works. NE being Hall of Fame?

Sounded like he was about to say he has a good relationship with Jordan Goodwin. How is his relationship with Pickett if we are able to get him?

SLURadioBoy Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I like the fact that Liddell pointed out that SLU is a basketball school. That's obviously something most top players don't think about since they usually go to power 5 schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLURadioBoy Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 My way of interpreting it is that at state schools the basketball team often plays second fiddle to football team. At a school like SLU, that's not an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheChosenOne Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Looks like Rivals has updated the 2019 rankings, below are some names of note (mostly kids with area ties) and I think Pistol can do a better job of adding guys with interest from SLU: -James Wiseman - #4 (5 star) - playing up with Brad Beal Elite and rumored to be transferring to the St. Louis area (visited SLUH/Chaminade/CBC/Webster Groves). -Jeremiah Robinson-Earl - #17 (5 star) - plays high school ball at Bishop Miege in KC area -Marcedus Leech - #27 (4 star) - playing up with Gateway last I read -Francis Okoro - #31 (4 star) - playing up with Brad Beal Elite -Kofi Cockburn - #36 (4 star) - playing up with NY Rens -Mario McKinney - #64 (4 star) - plays with Brad Beal Elite (16s I assume) -EJ Liddell - #90 (4 star) - plays with Brad Beal Elite (16s I assume) -Roman Wilson - #95 (4 star) - playing up with MOKAN Elite, from Park Hill (MO) https://n.rivals.com/prospect_rankings/rivals150/2019 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I would love to see him follow Thatch to SLU. That area has produced some outstanding basketball talent over the past years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't have photos/ highlights and results he could point to and say look come to SLU we can make this program matter on the national scene.
