Simi Shittu, a 5-star recruit (Top 10 before injury), is going to play this year at Vandy. Nothing can top the loss I felt when Dayton signed Obadiah Toppin (and yes he wears mustache sometimes but no it is not of the handlebar variety).

It really isn't late for 2019. In fact, a commitment this month from a 2019 recruit would be early. We're still about four months away from needing to worry.

Pistol Posted May 9, 2018 Author Share Posted May 9, 2018 New offer: Dashawn Davis, 6-3 guard out of North Carolina. Bio in the works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted May 9, 2018 Author Share Posted May 9, 2018 Dashawn Davis - SG, 6-3, 180 - Burlington, NC (Our Saviour Lutheran, NY) Offers: SLU, La Salle, Fordham, Old Dominion, Toledo, Monmouth, Manhattan, St. Peter's, Little Rock. Interest: Colgate, Sam Houston State. Latest News: Davis picked up an offer from SLU. (5/9/18) Scouting Report: Davis is just starting to break out as he plays with the NY Lightning on the Nike EYBL AAU circuit, where he is leading his team in scoring at 16.5 PPG. He's tough and athletic, and gets most of his points at the rim. He's great off the dribble, beating defenders and creating for his teammates. He's an inconsistent shooter but can score in bunches. His offers didn't start to come in until this year, but now that he's been outpacing 2020 AAU teammate Posh Alexander in both points and assists, he's getting more attention. -He returned to the Bronx this past season to play with Jared Rhoden's Our Savior Lutheran squad. Posh Alexander (2020) is the stud PG for OSL, and also plays with Davis on the NY Lightning AAU team, where Davis is currently leading him in both points and assists. He reminds me a little bit of Jacobs, maybe not quite as smooth yet but with a similar frame and skill set. He plays hard, seems to always be moving downhill with a lot of force. Good student. Had some interest in the fall and over the HS season, but his offers didn't really start to come in until late in the HS season, with most coming in the past month-plus.

crymdg2 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I'm hearing rumors that a certain 2019 recruit may be transferring across the river to play with another 2019 recruit. Hope it's true as it can only be a good thing for us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wgstl Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 not 100% I like this rumor. Every coach in the country is going to be in watching. I guess he can always commit before the season starts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would just make me think he would then be holding out for the best offer he can get. Liddell doesn't seem to be in a hurry and enjoying the recruiting process so no idea on him but they could both be signed before the season starts.

Do they play through the summer and into the fall? I could only find games through May online. Would be nice for Yuri to commit before school starts in August.

RiseAndGrind Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Yuri isn't going to get any more exposure than he's already getting with BBE. The Beagles are one of the AAU teams in the country. Come on, Yuri. Please be a Billiken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crymdg2 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 In terms of him being seen next year....if this even happens btw....his exposure will have already been widely seen. BBE is a top 5 AAU team this summer. If what @TheOne says is true, that Ford and Co have been working really hard on Collins, then they've already done what they can. If he likes the Billikens and has a good relationship with Liddell that's a big plus for us. If we haven't already locked Collins down by November, then I question if he wants or wanted to be a Billiken to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobillsgo Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Won’t be surprised if we start seeing Yuri get offers from big time schools as an attempt at a package deal with Liddell. Maybe not Duke/Kentucky big... bit who knows at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true but I think transferring to Belleville would allow that BBE spotlight to continue through the fall and into winter versus playing on a St. Mary's team that graduated most of the players from this past year. Unless BBE plays year round? I'm not familiar with their schedule. If not, this is why I hope he commits to SLU this summer. iI he is in fact very high on SLU.
