SLU Records Review

[Pistol]

Guess it's time to lock this in for the year. I'm showing players in the class they're currently listed in on the roster and will update this if they get moved to other classes in the record book. New listings in the record book are underlined.

DeAndre Jones finished .893 from the FT line, which would be third for seniors and fourth all-time for a season, but he didn't reach the minimum 50 attempts required to make that list.

Francis Okoro finished .588 from the field, which is good for second in field goal percentage in a season for juniors and sixth overall. His .766 FT% was a bit shy of the .805 needed for junior FT%. He was short of rebounding average but finished with 285 rebounds on the season, good for ninth place among juniors and bumping Bill Morris (278) from the top ten list. He had 42 blocks this season, which leaves him tied in fourth with Kelvin Henderson on the junior list.

Marten Linssen ended up with a FG% of .537, just outside the junior list - Bill Paradoski is tenth at .544. His FT% of .766 is also short of the junior list (H Waldman is tenth at .805). He had 18 blocked shots this season and needed 28 to tie for to tie Chris Heinrich in tenth.

Rashad Williams was 1.000 from the FT line on 2 attempts, just 48 short of the minimum requirement.

Brandon Courtney was .750 from 3, which would be an all-time record if he had 46 more attempts.

Fred Thatch ended up short on the FG%, FT%, and 3P% lists for the sophomore class. He had 37 steals and needed to reach 39 (Jordair Jett) to reach the sophomore top ten.

Yuri Collins now has 554 career assists and owns the all-time record. He also took the sophomore and all-class season records, now at 267. He has the freshman assist record (171) and his 116 in a shortened season last year ranks sixth among sophomores. His 19 assists vs. BC gave him the all-time single game record, passing Jim Roder's 18. He had 65 steals this season, one short of the sophomore record (Jordan Goodwin, 66) and sixth all-time. He has 134 career steals, now ninth all-time, bumping Kevin Lisch (133) to tenth and LaTodd Johnson and Jamall Walker (132) out of the top ten. He joined SLU's 30-point scorer club with 35 at George Mason, putting him in a 6-way tie for the sixteenth most points ever scored in a game. His FT% of .815 is tied for fourth with Andre Craig for sophomores. Collins played 1,123 minutes this season and finished just 32 minutes short of Jeff Luechtefeld, who is tenth all-time at 1,155.

Terrence Hargrove finished .348 from three, short of the .366 mark (Josh Fisher) necessary to make the top ten among sophomores.

Gibson Jimerson averaged 16.3 PPG in his third freshman season, second behind only Larry Hughes (20.9) for freshman scoring average. He also finished second behind Hughes (670) in total points in a season for a freshman, with 570. He's already second in freshman three-point field goal percentage at .429, which is also good for eighth on the all-class list, and his .420 3P% this year is fourth for freshmen. His 37 three-pointers last season tied him with Anthony Drejaj and Marcus Bartley for tenth among freshmen, and he finished with 87 threes this season, which is the new freshman record and tied with Erwin Claggett for second all-time. He is also in a 9-way tie for second most 3-pointers in a single game (7), right behind Tommie Liddell's 8, and joined SLU's 30-point scorer club with 31 vs. UMass. His .826 FT% is second among freshmen. Jimerson has a career FT percentage of .828, which is fourth all-time. Jimerson finished with 1,184 minutes on the season, good for sixth all-time.

Jordan Nesbitt averaged 8.2 PPG, a little outside the freshman top ten (11.0 PPG, Kwamain Mitchell). He had 288 points and needed 321 to tie Lisch and Milik Yarbrough for ninth among freshmen. His rebounding numbers (4.3 RPG, 149 total) were also short of the numbers he needs (5.6 RPG, 162) for the freshman class top ten, as well. His .337 3P% was behind Scott Highmark's tenth place mark of .369. He had 28 steals and needs to hit 33 (Carlos McCauley) for 10th. Basically, he finished just short of every freshman list and could've made a few with a postseason run.

Lassina Traore had a FG% of .606, which would be third among freshmen and fifth overall if he had reached 100 attempts. His .750 FT% would be eighth for freshmen, but he was 42 attempts short.

Markhi Strickland did not finish with any freshman records but would've been the season leader in dunks in many years.

Andre Lorentsson was .833 from the field and .667 from 3, which would both be records if he could have gotten 44 and 47 more attempts, respectively.

Javonte Perkins did not play. After two seasons at SLU, he is tied for 10th all time in scoring average (15.9) with Bill Morris. He has 825 career points and will easily make it into the 1,000-point club if he returns next season. He is sixth all-time for scoring for two-year players. His .866 FT% last season is good for sixth all time in a season and fourth for seniors.
