Eric was also pretty unlikely. Pickett is a good add. To me pickett is what I hoped Nesbitt could be next year, on the high end. Double digit scorer in the P5 who isn’t known for his scoring, yes please. AGB91 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would certainly take Williams over Pickett, but I don't get the impression this would be a decision to take Javon over him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickett was way more efficient offensively in the past year in a harder conference than Williams. Yes, Williams is a better rebounder. I see them both as massive +'s to this roster. If we get Pickett, I am stoked. If we get williams, I am stoked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I’m wrong. I feel pretty confident that it won’t be Turnbull because he canceled his visit with Missouri. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsBeliever!!! Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Getting Turnbull and Pickett would be amazing. Would just need a combo guard with good ball handling skills to backup Yuri if those two committed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still a little uneasy about our backup big being a freshman. brianstl likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe More times than not a frosh will be up to speed faster as a guard than a big man. Plus Yuri had Jgood to help him. Even then, what does that have to do with next season? hate to use "what about Yuri's frosh season" for examples in 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The staff is recruiting this young man as if he's just as important to our success in the frontcourt as Yuri was to our backcourt when he was a freshman.

Bilzz Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 There's only so many minutes to go around. Going into the transfer portal period I thought we had decent minutes to offer a big and and a back-up PG. Turnbull, as a stretch 4, would mean we'd probably still need the big and Pickett, as another SG, would mean we still probably need the back-up PG. I very much want Turnbull, but we're going to be running into a roster crunch if a few of our higher-end targets end up coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is interesting, I've never seen Turnbull play, and from what I've heard he needs to get bigger. I wonder for next year if we could play Connor at the 4, and get maybe a veteran big to play backup Franco? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mizzou guy If Larry tweeted it, you can trust it. I've known Larry personally for 19 years. Yeah, big Mizzou guy, but roots locally too. He worked at KSDK Sports for over 15 years. That said, I don't know if he's referring to LHJ, or someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember him tweeting some pretty anti-SLU stuff several years back, from the official KSDK sports Twitter account no less. I figured that he was a SLU hater, so if he was going to admit that there was SLU news, it was going to be bad news for SLU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's definitely a Mizzou first 100% guy. I've had conversations with him over the past few years, and he's definitely hoping for SLU to succeed....but would prefer it be a 'lower success' than Mizzou.
