If I recall correctly, he was consensus top 100 and Four Star. To be able to get him from nowhere near STL was huge. And Got HF from an AAU squad that produces players every year. It'll help keep our name relevant with PSA players for a while. NextYearBill likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we should be seeing some final lists come out soon and visits set up. I expect SLU to have a lot of visitors over the next several weeks.

I expect SLU to have a lot of visitors over the next several weeks. For sure. A lot of what I was finding is that now that the July evaluation period has ended, a lot of guys will go home and focus on trimming down their lists and setting up visits. September-October is the biggest visit period. 32 minutes ago, cheeseman said: How many schollies do we actually have to give since we gave one to Hargrove already? 30 minutes ago, Quality Is Job 1 said: At least 4 (including Hargrove). Right. On paper, we have 4 for 2019, with one claimed by Hargrove and 3 remaining. We could have more if we have any transfers. The grad transfers really helped balance out our classes a little bit.

slu72 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 So many offers out there it's hard to even speculate on who we may sign. We've talked a lot about Lidell and what a great pickup he'd be, but realistically we're probably a long shot. Whereas w/ Collins our odds are probably much higher. I'd also expect that Brad won't try and fill all the 3 remaining slots this fall unless a couple of rising 3 star types or a 4 star type opts to commit to SLU. He may well want to hold open one for a grad transfer in the spring, since Santos and Wellmer are his only Juniors this year, and Wellmer can't really be counted on at this point.

slu72 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Wow, I made a major Freudian slip there saying Brad won't try and fill all the 3 remaining openings. I meant, of course, Travis. I guess I was thinking about how Brad loved to hold open scholarships. Mea Culpas in advance as you guys jump all over me for this faux pas. Still, I think Travis will try and hold one open for a Grad Trans unless he can fill them all with guys he really really likes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall a couple of times he did. One was Shaw, who had a nice career at SIU. BS wanted Grimes who shot someone. Then Harrelson who wanted SLU, but Uncle Brad thought he could find someone better. Obi? Horace? Brad was the pits when it came to recruiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalen Grimes didn't shoot anyone. He hit a guy with the butt end of a shotgun. Don't take this as a defense of him, at all; I'm just saying he didn't shoot anyone.
