Pistol Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Had a SLU offer: Christian Fussell, who did not list SLU among his second round of finalists, committed to Middle Tennessee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 The word earlier this month was that Strickland was planning to visit LSU, Georgia, and Arkansas in October, with only Arkansas being an official visit. I also read that Georgetown and Michigan were trying to get him on campus. I don't know the status of any of these, and I don't know the priority level for Strickland for any of these, but I'm glad we got in front of them to make our case. No post-visit word from Gaines yet, nor do I see any word of an offer. (I would offer him.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is typically good news when a recruit has an announcement right after a visit (see: Kasubke, Luke). Pitbull at the ready? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to the local St. Louis high school forwards do you think Strickland is better? If Strickland commits does SLU still pursue Bradford or do they look for another guard.

If Strickland commits does SLU still pursue Bradford or do they look for another guard. Love is a combo guard, Fletcher and Kasubke are wings, Kalkbrenner and Bradford are centers. They're the top five locals. It's hard to say Strickland is better than any of them, as they're all nationally ranked and he's a bit of a late bloomer. Maybe Kasubke is better right now but Strickland's long-term upside is higher? I see Strickland as a SF with length and athleticism. He's still listed at 6-5 most places but might be an inch taller now. His dad (who played for 6 NBA teams in 9 years after going undrafted out of Temple, in addition to numerous international leagues) is 6-9, so he still might be growing. If that's the case, we might be looking at him as a longer term forward who can play the 3 or 4. But right now, I think he sees himself as a wing guard with length. Which is a long way of saying - I'm not sure what the priority for the last scholarship is if he indeed commits. My guess is we pursue another guard and look at him as a long-term 4.
