My question for anyone who has seen him play in HS...how confident are you that he has the skills needed to be the player who will get the minutes when Okoro needs to come out due to foul trouble or a rest? I don't know anything about his game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worry we won’t be competitive in this game. With all due respect to this board I don’t see anyone in our program taking up the call like Bowers or Demetrius Johnson.

I don't know anything about his game? He certainly has the skills needed, and he’s definitely not soft. His main issue coming into college will be strength, he’s pretty lean at this stage having gone through a recent growth spurt and that sometimes leaves him a little exposed defensively. He’d be fine against the majority of teams we play but would have more difficulty than someone like Linssen against teams with really aggressive big men like Auburn, Memphis and Dayton. In an ideal world you’d probably prefer another big to go along with Okoro/Turnbull, but that’s a tough sell from a playing time perspective.

With all due respect to this board I don’t see anyone in our program taking up the call like Bowers or Demetrius Johnson. I believe that most P-5 programs will allocate NIL for those players projected to be key or star players. I'd be willing to take a strong guess that Mizzou is no exception to that principle.

I struggle to see how someone like Bowers is a better choice for that role than a booster with real money. gabriel likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least at Mizzou he'll fade into irrelevancy along with the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Charles Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 @MidtownMadPod - “Turnbull was an AAU teammate of SLU signees @Nick_kramer03 and @KellenThames - the trio helped @BradBealElite to a second place finish at the Nike EYBL Peach Jam last July.” I don’t know if this has been stated on here yet, but to me it seems like an easy sell for SLU over Mizzou, excluding NIL deals. That’s also if he even wants to stay in state. gabriel, Zink, Old guy and 4 others like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted April 6, 2022 Author Share Posted April 6, 2022 11 hours ago, thetorch said: Nice get for Pine Bluff. This guy can fill it up. I just updated his bio a few days ago. Might as well preserve it here: Robert Lewis - PF, 6-8, 180 - St. Louis, MO (Cardinal Ritter) - AAU: Brad Beal Elite (Nike EYBL) - Twitter: @Roblew22 Offers: Louisiana-Monroe, Lindenwood, Arkansas-Pine Bluff. Interest: Saint Louis, East Carolina, SIU-Carbondale, Indiana State, Samford, VMI, Eastern Illinois, Eastern Kentucky, Cal State-Fullerton, Merrimack, Florida Gulf Coast, Lipscomb, Incarnate Word, Grambling State. Latest News: Lewis received an offer from Lindenwood. (4/1/22) Scouting Report: Lewis is a long, lean, versatile forward. He's a very efficient scorer inside, loves to operate in mid-range, and will step out and shoot from the perimeter on occasion. He's an excellent offensive rebounder and gets a lot of his points on putbacks and second chances. He came on strong as an all-around scorer over the course of his senior season. He gives up weight and strength defensively against bigger players but has good instincts and shot blocking ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLU is a more fun campus, smaller and more personable, at least in my opinion from a long time ago. thatskablamo likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquinas Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 I see where he shot 3s at 35%. I assume from that he can hit a mid range jumper. A stretch big would compliment Okoro, if he can move his feet and play some defense. I also think Okoros progress last season over his play in Oregon, shows a big man can do well here.
