kshoe Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 My uneducated take is that Gordon is closer to 6'7 than 6'9. Quite frankly part of the reason he's fallen from a top 10 recruit as a sophomore to a top 50 kid today is that he hasn't grown. He was a man among boys at younger ages and while he'll be a man among boys in HS games this year, he won't be when he plays in college. Also, I'm not sure having a top 50 player that stays in school for 3 years is worse than having a top 10 kid that is one and done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as his staff remember these kids have to compete in the classroom we will soar. It certainly helps that Davell Roby comes from outside Memphis and has worked his butt off to become a decent shooter and team leader as well. The Kentucky roots may help, and Corey Tate if I recall correctly was the coach at mineral area Juco, I wonder if he had any recruits there from sikeston?

I hear that will be the sanctions applied to Louisville for 1 full year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said the same thing he doesn’t seem to be 6’8”. Gordon was interviewed on signing day. He said he was 6'9" and 242 pounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class 4 was a gauntlet last year, as Vashon, Sikeston, Hillsboro, and St. Mary's were all in the same quadrant. Whoever came out of that was going to win state, and it was Vashon. It's a shame they were all bunched together because they had an argument as the four best teams in that division. Class 5 only tested Webster Groves in the semifinals, with Kickapoo. They lose a lot with Jared Ridder having graduated, but CBC will be back and is going to be a lot to handle for at least the next three seasons. But I'll take WG's seniors over CBC's sophomores for now. Chaminade will probably be favored to get out of that district again, but I don't think they're going to challenge WG. There's no answer for Gordon (and to a lesser extent, Ramey). Anyway, if we assume the same structure for this year's brackets, CBC in the quarterfinals should be the biggest test to WG, who I think will repeat. Heard Ramey got hurt tonight and might be out for an extended period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3star_recruit Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 This is going to be an interesting situation. Amorey Womack will be the lead guard now. Womack's a score first guy. He's going to have to learn how to feed the post in a hurry. They've got some huge games coming up out of state and he needs to be ready.

TFord and TRavs Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Ramey isn’t signed yet right? Maybe a good SLU team can convince him. Maybe his injury sets him back a bit recruiting wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
