3star_recruit Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Gordon is probably the last local blue chipper we get for a couple of years. Recruiting is cyclical. In this two-year cycle, we have four kids (Watson, Liddell, McKinney, Hargrove) who look at SLU as a safety school. Playing for the hometown school doesn't really mean anything to them. We recruit regionally and nationally now so we're going to be fine. As for 2019, any discussion about local recruits outside of Yuri Collins I'm going to ignore. It's largely wishful thinking.

So Watson lied about having a good relationship and rapport with Ford and Tate? My response was to Skip saying we were no longer interested in Watson before he committed last night.

Whenever we lose a recruit some would post well we had lost interest in him anyway. You just revealed yourself as not being a long time poster who follows the board routinely. You clearly have returned only because of Martin' hiring and so you can toss bombs. Now that you have been exposed go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't going to slam another school or coaching staff. He may well have had a relationship with SLU coaches, but another school got the player. We'll move on to the next guy.

Quality Is Job 1 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 It's not a phenomenon unique to billikens.com. At the message boards of pretty much every major school, after losing a recruit, someone will opine along the lines of "We quit recruiting him" or "He isn't good enough." It's a running joke here, but at most major schools, they really think that. They want to believe that "If [our coach] want him, then he's sure to come; therefore, if he doesn't come, [our coach] didn't want him." Capisci, STLHI?

MattyMo213 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 If anyone is still worrying about Gordon's loyalty, he hasn't liked or retweeted or done anything in regard to Watsons tweet about mizzou, so I think he's safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They received their 1st offers from Missouri St this summer and are going to have a big year. The offers will be rolling in very soon.
