Coach314 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Fun fact: McKissic played that well despite the fact his new Coach wants to play his recruits over Brandon. Brandon was playing on the scout team in practice leading up to yesterday's game . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Pelican Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 2 hours ago, Coach314 said: Stay tuned lol So you're saying he played because it was Saint Louis (and St. Louis) and he's related to a star Billiken? And he won't be playing going forward? I mean I don't have a dog in this fight, but he seemed to be a big part of that team. You're obviously connected and have inside info, so I won't be surprised if you're right. But most coaches want to keep their jobs, which means playing those that can win. So I find it odd, especially with a senior who's been mainly a starter since freshman year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLURadioBoy Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Looks like Brandon is transferring. wgstl likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLURadioBoy Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 @Coach314, since you seem pretty connected with Brandon, do you think there’s any chance he would be interested in transferring to SLU for another senior season next season?

TheChosenOne Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I bought a car from Gerald McKissic a few years back, great guy. If Brandon ends up at SLU I will consider the commission on my purchase to have worked! NextYearBill likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both parties have interest in that. He's going to explore all options. CBFan, stmdragons, SLURadioBoy and 6 others like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3star_recruit Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Yuri and McKissic would be one of the top 3 backcourts in the A10 on day one. Coach314 and SLURadioBoy like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First - I love McKissic. He's from my hometown. He starred at my high school where he was coached by my childhood idol. He is a very very good basketball player and a great Summit League player. It was a blast watching him and Goodwin go toe to toe. I would absolutely take him on the Billikens. Second - I do not think he is a great A10 player. He could fit a role for SLU off the bench as a shooter / scorer. He has been turnover prone at UMKC which is understandable because he does everything for them as their best player. I expect with SLU he would handle the ball a lot less and get less shot attempts. If he'd be fine with that role, he'd be a welcome depth addition. I wouldn't necessarily want him in place of any guards in our current rotation, but I would certainly take him over a non-elite freshman recruit.

So would Yuri and Jacobs. Or Jimerson. (Not trying to discount McKissic, but the combination of Yuri being possibly the best PG in the league next year, along with the lack of good young guards in the league, make it us regardless) CBFan likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't necessarily take them over Yuri + Jacobs, but I wouldn't say the A10 lacks good young guards: VCU: Bones Hyland & Adrian Clark UMass: Noah Fernandes and Javohn Garcia Bona: Kyle Lofton & Dominick Welch Mason: Jamal Hartwell & Tyler Kolek (this is a bit of a stretch, but Kolek has the look of a guy who is going to piss me off by scoring way more points than he should vs SLU in the future) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would take some of the weight of that responsibility off of Yuri next year. This year, especially at the end of the games, that weight is shouldered mostly by Perkins. VCU basically has a Yuri clone at point guard and Bones Hyland already putting up 18 ppg. I've got no problem with anointing them as the best backcourt in the A10 next year.
