Pistol Posted June 2, 2018 Author Share Posted June 2, 2018 This is not McKinney's list of finalists. It's just a graphic showing the majority of his offers. Some guys do this with offers and interest together (which is a mess), and some do their finalists with a list of like 20, but say they're still open to new offers. Unless the graphic or tweet says "FINAL 14" or whatever, then don't read anything beyond a guy just flexing his ego a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheChosenOne Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 For those who are fans of Terrence Hargrove, he has some encouraging things to say about SLU (we definitely sound like the favorite from his comments). https://www.prephoops.com/2018/06/terrence-hargrove-video-3/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He definitely sounded high on SLU there and sounds like we are making him a priority. Much better than the Liddell video where SLU isn't mentioned. Guess him and Mario have been talking about going to the same college together? Florida offered Mario right after him for the package deal. https://www.prephoops.com/2018/06/ej-liddell-video-7/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he wants to give KU every chance possible to offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiseAndGrind Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Man a class of Hargrove and Collins would be killer. Wouldn’t get the national attention but both of those guys are way underrated and would keep the local thing going EDIT: I wonder if Hargrove playing for the Beagles will be great for his actual development, but maybe not so great for his offers list? He's not getting to star for the Beagles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLURadioBoy Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 @TheOne, have you heard about where we stand with Hargrove? Sounds like we have a pretty good shot at him, judging by his interviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed this recent Tweet from Earl, and it reminded me that Collins loses a ton of seniors from St. Mary's, and that he's basically the man now. Much different dynamic there, so it should be interesting. But yeah, regarding the Twitter search thing, it's always interesting to me to see how different the results are for different players. I hate when we offer a guy with a more common name because then I have to add more words to the search, like the HS name, AAU team, etc. So guys like Michael Christmas, Tony Johnson, and Chris Payton are tricky. Then you have players with the same name as someone very active on Twitter or relatively famous. Joe Girard, for example, is also the name of a business inspirational speaker/writer, so when I'm looking for recruiting updates, I get a lot of the same inspirational quotes over and over. Initials are difficult because "E.J." and "EJ" don't turn up the same results, so you have to search twice. International players or guys with foreign-sounding names (like your example above) turn up a lot of weird stuff, so I have to do a lot of combinations for Maxwell Lorca-Lloyd, get some odd stuff for Yuri Collins and Malik Hall, and have problems getting results for John Bol Ajak. Players from Latin countries also have more written about them from overseas than in the US, so Anderson Mirambeaux, Lester Quinones, and Max Lorca-Lloyd also have a lot of results in Spanish. The other weird thing that happens is that certain players' names when taken apart might be the first and/or last names of adult film performers and I get some NSFW results occasionally. Like Yuri Collins might not be the name of one, but if you have one with the name Yuri in there doing a scene with someone with the name Collins, it can happen. Best case scenario for me is a recruit with a truly unique name, like Kofi Cockburn (which, believe it or not, never turns up NSFW material). That way, I only get the most recent results for whatever's going on with that player and don't have to scroll through any other noise. This is a truly weird process, what it takes to stay updated on recruiting stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true. 100% of the results for a search of "justyn mutts" are indeed about the basketball player Justyn Mutts. I wish him all the best at Delaware.

I'm also curios if Collins has had his visit to SLU yet and where things stand with Hargrove. I'd love to get any/all three of those guys.
