Kira Lewis, Jr. - PG, 6-3, 160 - Hazel Green, AL (Hazel Green) - Twitter: @Mr_Lewis3

Offers: SLU, Dayton, Providence, Virginia Tech, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Pitt, Oklahoma State, Iowa State, TCU, Baylor, Alabama, Auburn, Vanderbilt, LSU, Mississippi State, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Georgia, Houston, South Florida, Tulane, UAB, Western Kentucky, Murray State, MTSU, Samford, Jackson State, Alabama A&M.

Interest: Virginia, Indiana, K-State, Kentucky, Texas A&M, UCLA, UConn.

Latest News: Lewis picked up an offer from SLU after his performance in the Nike EYBL event in Dallas. Florida State, Virginia Tech, TCU, and Pitt also offered after the event. (4/24/18)

Scouting Report: Lewis is a tough, speedy point guard with great length for his position. He keeps the offense moving with a smooth, confident style and great instincts and decision making. He's a big-time scorer but is an unselfish player and good passer who makes the right play. He defends at a high level, too. Rankings: Rivals - 81, Prep Hoops - 119, 247Sports - 111, Future150 - 75.

-This is our latest offer, as shared by @StlBills above. We're entering a crowded pool here. He's a solid 4-star prospect, really talented PG. He's been on a lot of visits, probably half of his offer list and maybe more. He's from Hazel Green, at the far north end of Alabama, north of Huntsville. He had a ton of home visits leading up to this past weekend, and then he was one of the top performing PGs in Dallas and added five more offers, SLU being one of them.

Terrence Shannon, Jr. - SF, 6-6, 190 - Chicago, IL (Woodstock Academy, CT) - Twitter: @Tshan35

Offers: SLU, DePaul, Loyola-Chicago, UIC, Austin Peay, Chicago State.

Interest: Wisconsin, Valpo.

Latest News: Shannon picked up a SLU offer after his performance at the Nike EYBL event in Dallas. Loyola, UIC, and DePaul offered earlier in April, and Wisconsin is now said to be "highly interested". (4/24/18)

Scouting Report: Shannon is a late bloomer who missed most of his junior season with injuries but had a strong senior year and is showing well this spring for the Mac Irvin Fire on the Nike EYBL AAU circuit. He's a 6-6 lefty with length and athleticism who plays 4 positions in AAU because of his versatility. He's fast, explosive, can knock down threes, and plays lockdown defense. He's a strong rebounder and shot blocker. He graduates from Lincoln Park HS this spring but has reclassified as a 2019 recruit and will take a prep year at Woodstock Academy. Shannon's dad was an undrafted juco player who briefly flirted with the NBA before playing a long international career, mostly in Latin America; he's now 38 and playing in Panama as a 6-9, 210 power forward.

New interest:

Paxson Wojcik - SG, 6-4, 180 - Charleston, SC (La Lumiere School, IN)

Offers: DePaul, Miami-Ohio, Loyola-Chicago, Brown, Columbia, Holy Cross.

Interest: SLU, Creighton, Notre Dame, Michigan State, Northwestern, Baylor, Stanford, Santa Clara, Illinois State, Drake, UIC, Belmont, Harvard, Penn, Princeton, Yale, Bucknell, Siena, Western Illinois, Elon, Denver.

Latest News: Wojcik picked up SLU interest along with offers from Loyola, Brown after a strong first live period with the Illinois Wolves on the UA Association AAU circuit. (4/25/18)

Scouting Report: Wojcik is an elite shooter, but scores on all three levels. He's a solid defender and strong competitor. He's unselfish and facilitates the offense well. He's also an outstanding student. His cousin Jake is transferring out of Siena, and his younger brother Denham is a 2021 D-I recruit. His dad is an assistant at East Carolina.

-He's a natural fit for a prep boarding school like La Lumiere because his dad, Doug, is a coach and the family has moved around a ton. He's now at East Carolina, but he was previously HC at Tulsa (2005-2012, fired for performance) and Charleston, where he was fired after a 2014 internal investigation said he had been overly abusive toward players. Doug's brother Dave resigned last year as HC at San Jose State for "personal reasons", but was named in a lawsuit shortly after saying he had been abusive and discriminatory. Their kids seem like really good, smart people though, and it's a shame these situations are tied to their families.

Lester Quinones - SG, 6-5, 200 - Huntington Station, NY (St. Benedict's Prep, NJ) - Twitter: @Effort_les

Offers: SLU, UMass, Georgetown, Seton Hall, St. John's, Virginia, Pitt, Illinois, Minnesota, UConn, Western Kentucky, Iona, Hofstra, Stony Brook, St. Peter's.

Interest: Rhode Island, Villanova, Creighton, UNC, Syracuse, Louisville, Notre Dame, Miami, Wake Forest, Virginia Tech, Indiana, Maryland, Rutgers, Kansas, West Virginia, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Mizzou, Kentucky, Florida, South Carolina, LSU, UCLA, Oregon, Arizona State, Cal, UNLV, New Mexico, Vermont.

Latest News: Quinones picked up offers from SLU and UConn. (4/26/18)

Scouting Report: Quinones is a big sharpshooting guard with sneaky athleticism. He can bury it off the dribble, off the catch, and off balance. He's a very strong defender, as well. Rankings: Rivals - 62, Prep Hoops - 98, 247sports - 68, Future150 - 81.

-We're getting into a crowded pool for this top-100 kid. He has a ton of interest and is being actively recruited by too many schools to count, but not as many as expected have actually pulled the trigger with offers. He's been awesome so far this AAU season, lighting it up for New Heights on the Under Armour Association circuit. He was 11-14 with 27 points in a win over Canada Elite this past weekend. He can really shoot it and he's got great size. But again, the competition is big-time for his services. Illinois, Georgetown, St. John's, and UMass all offered back in December, and Minnesota and a few others before that. Seton Hall was more recent, and then now we've jumped in along with UConn. Syracuse, Rutgers, and a few others have been actively recruiting him for a while without offering.

James Bishop - PG, 6-2, 180 - Baltimore, MD (Mount Saint Joseph) - Twitter: @RealJB10

Offers: SLU, VCU, Marquette, NC State, Virginia Tech, K-State, LSU, Temple, Tulsa.

Interest: Georgetown.

Latest News: Bishop received an offer from SLU after his performance for Team Thrill at the UA Association event in Dallas. (4/26/18)

Scouting Report: Bishop is a big-time scoring point guard with serious playmaking ability. He scores on all three levels and is an outstanding shooter. He plays with confidence and consistency, and his shot selection is solid even as he scores in high volumes. He's an excellent ball handler but could work on his strength and finishing with his off hand. Rankings: Rivals - 129, 247sports - 141.

-I'm sure he has more than Georgetown showing interest but that's all I've been able to confirm so far. Scoring-minded PG, can really fill it up from outside.
