At least I know there are many instances where it fits like a glove for me. I have never missed a call from my seat.

They're really good seats, so I can see that. I'm pretty sure my accuracy from that vantage point was 100% also. I did notice SShoe seemed to be off quite a bit though. willie and Reinert310 like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 Gassama junior season highlights: He attended a number of SLU games this season. Overall his junior year was a little disappointing - he missed the first several weeks with an injury and ended up averaging 7.0 PPG, 6.8 RPG, and 1.8 BPG with a slashline of .538/.400/.516 (he was 2-5 from 3). Others have talked about how DeSmet doesn't always do a great job of getting Gassama and Yaya Keita involved offensively but I still would've expected a little more production out of him this year. He's raw but big and there's definitely some potential here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen a guard corps that unwilling to pass in a long time. I hope the big guys are getting a great classroom education because they're not going to learn much offensive basketball there at this rate.

Yeah, I watched DeSmet a few times this season and honestly have no evaluation on those two beyond thinking they certainly look the part and move well for their size. Typically I would at least have an opinion one way or the other from seeing a couple of games, but they just weren't given an opportunity to showcase their game at all. I have heard Yaya is a great teammate and kid who has been thru a lot, so I am certainly pulling for the kid (looks like both have solid options which is good to see).

Interest: Dayton, Butler, Creighton, DePaul, Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, Purdue, Northwestern, Iowa State, South Carolina, Missouri, Vanderbilt, Cincinnati, SMU, Tulsa, Gonzaga, Nevada, Colorado State, Northern Iowa, SIU-Carbondale, Valparaiso, Bradley, Louisiana Tech, Florida Atlantic, Toledo, Northern Kentucky, Appalachian State, Elon, Western Illinois, Cal State-Fullerton, Grambling State. Latest News: Barnes received an offer from SLU. (4/16/20) Scouting Report: Barnes is a smooth shooting guard with a lot of potential. He has great size and length for the position and has deceptive strength. He's an excellent leaper and finisher. He's a solid shooter with good range and the ability to put a game away when he gets hot. He handles the ball well in transition and in the half court. His brother Dan played at Eastern Michigan and UIC. -Dude is blowing up. The KU, Maryland, Iowa, and TCU offers are from late March. He added a lot to his frame in the past year and really improved his shot. Had a nice season for OPRF - 20.7 PPG, 7.3 RPG, 3.2 APG, 2.2 SPG, .484/.445/.782. Really nice all around player and a very high ceiling. We might already be late to the party, though; his KU offer is his pinned tweet.

Frank always mentions on his show that Nesbitt and Kern are the top two priorities for SLU in the 2021 class. Hearing Tony Irons talk about how much Kern (and his mom) likes SLU, I think they are probably in good shape with him. I have no idea what Nesbitt thinks of SLU, but I would think he will need more convincing and is probably the top priority for the class.

Pistol Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 This is from our most recent 2021 offer.

There's also a chance he leaves Chicago for prep school somewhere else. La Lumiere is in NW Indiana or somewhere farther away altogether. Playing for OPRF and the Illinois Wolves (Under Armour Association), he's probably avoided more of the Chicago basketball politics than most recruits of his stature. He's also a fairly late bloomer in terms of high-level interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
