Considering he hasn't tweeted about it, and no pundits have picked it up, I would venture to guess SLU's chances are pretty slim. But that would be a great late addition to this squad.

CBFan Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Trying to be optimistic he visited so there was some interest to get a visit. Would Isabell have a legitimate shot starting at the 2 position? If he has a shot at starting and playing with JGood, CAG, French, and Bess then I think we have as good of a chance as any other offers.

FWIW, Frank said an assistant said our starting lineup would be that. Surprised there are no other reports of the visit anywhere. I sense that IF we are able to pull this off it would have to be in the next few days. The longer it drags it after the visit, the less likely it will happen. Very little recruiting chatter about these two available scholarships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 He would definitely start at the 2. Kid can score. That would give our 3 freshman guards a little cushion and time to grow. Come on Tramaine, be a Billiken! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes not much of a deep threat either for a scoring guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodwin took 11.2 shots per game and Bess 9.8. He'll want the ball in his hands. Not seeing him as a must sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was THE MAN at Drexel. He averaged 8 pts per game as a sophomore in SEC play... I could see him averaging double figures on a balanced SLU team. Starting, winning, tutoring younger guards, playing with J-Good... Perhaps that's what merited the visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old guy Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Being included in Isabell's short list is good news. Let's hope he comes to SLU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 There is a chance BC could fill it's last spot today with Saddiq Bey on campus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Hard to know what he's thinking, but I'd also guess Xavier is the leader if I had to pick one. Most scholarships available, opportunity as the lead guard, Big East, chance for a revenge game at Mizzou this season. Just a guess. But we got him on campus and he's got a relationship with Tate, so I wouldn't count us out, and like our chances better than BC's. The scholarship chart as it stands now: SR: Bess, Foreman JR: Santos SO: Goodwin, French, Welmer FR: Gordon, Jacobs, Thatch, Pearson, Gudmundsson, Hankton Definitely would like to see more balance, but we did have some extraordinary circumstances last season. Another uperclassman guard would be a nice fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree that X is probably the most attractive of the options. I would say its X-SLU-BC in ranking. X has a lot of change coming this year though....

ACE Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 X has too many grad transfers. In a way we have a more stable roster. One glaring opening on a potential Tourney team and this kid would fill it. We really need this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure many disgruntled Mizzou hoopers would see transferring to SLU as getting back at Mizzou especially a kid from Seattle. I think having Tate on staff alleviates a lot of my concerns with the kid and at this point he is playing to get to the next level (not talking NBA, but professional hoops), so I would be fine with this addition and see it as a good roster fit. Not sure I like the big freshmen class, but it is what it is and we were dealt a tough blow by the administration which pretty much forced this, so I’m not going to complain about it from the basketball end. Maybe he befriended some STL kids while at Mizzou too making us more enticing than what is just on the surface (if strictly going SLU vs. X).

Isabel tweeted something in regards to Tigerboard. Some people were talking about him on TB and he didnt like that. So for a player to be checking a message board of a team, he hasnt played for in about 3 years was bizarre. Also wasnt the first time Isabel and some mbm sorta got into it.
