Coach314 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 11 hours ago, Pistol said: Yeah, there was the Iowa State rumor without any confirmation. He didn't play this last season at Poplar Bluff because of a knee injury, but then there are rumors that he's been expelled and his HS for this next season is still TBD. The last time he publicly said anything about his recruitment was in December, when he said that Mizzou, LSU, and Nebraska were working hardest, but that Iowa State and a few others were also involved. If anyone can help me figure out the mystery of Marcedus Leech, it'd be greatly appreciated. Regardless of what's going on, I'd hate to see a kid who was once a fringe top-50 player disappear. Sad to hear. He seems to have issues wherever he goes. Bradley Beal...Gateway. Prior to last year he was rumored to come play for a STL school but his Dad didn't think he was mature enough at the time. If he has been expelled...maybe he was right. Kid had a lot of potential. Hope things work out for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Billiken Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 The word on the "street" here in Poplar Bluff is that, after a year of significant medical issues, Marcedus Leech has moved to Arkansas---possibly Jonesboro. Too bad! Great talent. Hope everything works out for him. No word here on college interest/offers/commitments. Will continue to snoop around!

Pistol Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 (Just preserving this for archival purposes): Terrence Hargrove, Jr. - SF, 6-6, 180 - East St. Louis, IL (East St. Louis) - Twitter: @TerrenceHargro1 Offers: SLU, Mizzou, Colorado, New Mexico, Missouri State, Illinois State, Cleveland State. Interest: Creighton, Illinois, Kansas, Iowa State, Tulsa, Bradley, Portland State. Latest News: Hargrove visited Missouri State this weekend. (6/25/18) Scouting Report: Hargrove is an explosively athletic wing who rebounds extremely well, loves to push the ball, and is a big-time dunker. He's shown strong defensive ability, and brings a lot of energy and toughness to the floor. He has to work on his handles and jumper, but has shown improvement in both; he has a good work ethic and high ceiling. Rankings: Rivals - 147, Prep Hoops - 96, 247sports - 227, Future150 - 142.

The fact that Illinois had not offered TH when they are ranked # 143 in the top 144 ranking website maybe shows that Underwood is not the coach they seem so high on. How could they have not offered one of the top players in the state? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share Posted July 6, 2018 Finally! Been waiting on that Tandy offer to happen. As a refresher: Dekeyvan 'Kyky' Tandy - SG, 6-2, 180 - Hopkinsville, KY (University Heights Academy) - Twitter: @TandyDekeyvan Offers: SLU, Virginia Tech, Oklahoma, Iowa State, K-State, Florida, Auburn, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Cincinnati, WKU, New Mexico State. Interest: Xavier, Creighton, Louisville, Wake Forest, Boston College, Michigan, Kentucky, South Carolina, LSU, Vanderbilt, Wichita State. Latest News: Tandy received an offer from SLU. He was excellent at the recent NextUpRecruits Camp. (7/6/18) Scouting Report: Tandy is a very athletic high-volume scorer who averaged over 30 points per game as a junior. He scores on all three levels, using his bounce and athleticism to get to the rim with ease and making his 3-pointers at above 40%. He's an excellent passer with great vision, and loves to run in transition. He has great handles and can blow by defenders in either direction. He's got a strong frame and plays tough on both ends. Rankings: Rivals - 87, Prep Hoops - 101, 247sports - 137, Future150 - 144, ESPN - 88. Tandy's dad went on Kentucky Sports Radio a couple months ago to talk about a potential UK offer. They had been showing interest but Tandy and his family wanted an offer. Anyway, his dad said that he didn't want Kyky to play backup to a bunch of one-and-dones, that he should get a UK offer and be a starter and wasn't going to sit on the bench behind anyone. Well, they haven't heard from UK since. To his credit, Kyky handled it really well. He said he was disappointed and that his dad probably shouldn't have said that, but that he'll be all right. I like this kid's game a lot. We've now offered two of the top three kids in Kentucky's 2019 class. The top kid, David Johnson, had committed to Louisville but later decommitted. He's still considered a Louisville lean, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetorch Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Kyky would average 30 a game in the A10 and be a one and done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
