Just tell Jordan he can practice against him if he comes to SLU. Unless Jayson suddenly goes to UI in the off season. Also, he might even bring Mr. Smart along just for the fun of it. Smart’s growth as a player and general success/national pub has to be great for Ford’s recruiting. Such an easy sell to point at your NBA lottery pick (granted he was a McDonald’s All-American out of HS) whose entire game/persona is built around effort and hustle. A guy you want your whole team to model themselves after and epitomizes #TeamBlue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wait until he commits to SLU. Then it will be that Nesbitt was a lock for the Illini until SLU cheated.

Popular Post Ibruce Posted September 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 14, 2020 Nesbitt taking next step This recruitment doesn’t appear to have too much drama, but Jordan Nesbitt is set to take the next step in his decision making process. He is narrowing down his list to three this week, and then he will make his commitment on October 1. While Nesbit is definitely in the process of narrowing things down, the reality is, he wants to stay close to home, and Saint Louis is the big favorite here to keep him as close to home as possible. Travis Ford and his staff have done a fantastic job of recruiting Nesbitt, and they are definitely the leader. Some other schools such as Memphis, Illinois, Iowa State and Alabama are all involved and could make his final three, but it would take a major sea change for Nesbitt to end up anywhere other than Saint.

SLUMedBilliken15 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Over at the illini board, they sure seem confident.... Sure hope they are wrong... "The staff hasn’t gotten to Piper yet. You think just because Piper says that they are a “text” or a call away that they automatically answer DP every time he texts? Piper has no clue what’s going on here, his hand is being forced because of the National Snow article. And Snow has no idea either just like he didn’t with Jones up until the last minute The staff is in a good position here and the Nesbitt’s are keeping things close to the chest, which is good. Things have not changed in a couple weeks, this announcement is only on the heels of one momentum shift... and that’s when the Nesbitt’s made Illinois their leader and decided THAT was the best option. Nothing since then has changed... The National punditS here just don’t know it yet because everything has been so SLU heavy up to this point."

There is one Illini poster who doubled down a week ago and is now tripling down to save face. He spent last week accusing Depaul of money laundering after a recruit he claimed was an Illini lean chose the Blue Demons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody is wrong except this dipsh—t on the Illini board. The national recruiting experts are clueless. The Illini recruiting expert is “pressured” to say SLU, because the national recruiting experts are clueless, despite the fact that it might cost him a wrong crystal ball prediction and make him lose credibility. The Nesbitt’s are keep everything so close to the chest that only this a-hole on the Illinois board really knows what’s actually going on. Then when Nesbitt picks SLU, here’s what he’s gonna say. “Dude, this is such BS! Chaifetz bought Nesbitt a Bently and his family a mansion in the Hamptons. His high school and AAU coaches were pressuring him to stay home because they each received $50,000 cash. Nesbitt was TOTALLY gonna come to Illinois this whole time, but all the cheating and politics, he changed his mind at the last second...ya know? I’m TOTALLY an insider who TOTALLY has inside info. Nesbitt’s commitment to SLU TOTALLY doesn’t change that. I just wish every other school in division 1, besides Illinois, would fight fair!” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
