Self said last week in a local interview that he plans to take two guards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbj14 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Pretty significant transfer for Duquense. There was some buzz he was thinking of coming back, but looks like it will be a lot of TDM next year for the Dukes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NH Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Sounds like McKissic to Kansas is looking a lot less likely than it was a couple of days ago from what I can gather. McKissic had previously told Kansas people to expect a commitment this past Sunday. Now not expected to commit until this weekend at the earliest. Kansas continuing to pursue other guards as well with only one scholarship available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A10Ref Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Goodwin giving major props to Okoro today makes me think Has won't/shouldn't stay. His stock for international play or even the NFL (I think he should play NFL tbh) won't be improved with even more limited time this coming year... With all that being said, I expect we will have one departure as it's happening everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJHawk Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 The plan was to get TyTy and Pettiford with Mckissic as a back up plan. The writing was on the wall when he tried to commit last week and was told to hold on. SLU_Nick likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NH Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 If there is no spot at Kansas for BMac, it makes me even more excited for his potential if he were to come home to SLU. An extra chip on his shoulder to prove the Jayhawks wrong for passing on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if he goes to mizzou, best of luck to him. There will be more in the pipeline... preferably from power conferences too. billiken_roy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very few P5 teams can tell mckissic he is the go-to guy from day 1 like mizzou, and he’s still close to home.

They bring in a good but not great recruiting class. I would expect they will be projected to finish last in the SEC. If that is what McKissic is looking for (which I agree with you it could be) then at least we know SLU never really had a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A10Ref Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I want Verge (even though he isnt in the portal - wishful thinking... but I've fallen in love with his ability to score), one of the brothers from Cinci (shooters), and if someone unforeseen leaves another combo guard. Fine with McKissic to take a spot but also fine passing on him tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t have to have McKissic. He would be a nice addition, but I don’t think he would even start. I am not sitting Fred or Jimerson for him. wgstl and AGB91 like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has ties to the program, familiarity, waves to campus as he heads to CoMo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen some of the other numbers from potential players, and I do not think anyone else is close. Correct me if I am wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think McKissic would start too because he's a better perimeter shooter than Thatch and better at creating his own shot and distributing than Thatch, Jimerson or Jacobs. And he's an all-conference caliber defender. Going to a Mizzou team that's losing 90% of its scoring would be such a waste.

McKissic would turn Mizzou from a 17 point dog against the Bills to possibly a 15.5 point dog. Don’t waste the Bitcoin bag on McKissic. If he wants to go to a team where he will be the number 1 option and the main attraction Mizzou might be the better choice for him. If he wants to be on a better team he can come be a part of Team Blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
