Most people have to get accepted straight from high school. I am sure that if this kid is a quality student, the administration, the Athletic Department, and the PT school can come to some sort of agreement.

A reference ripped from today's headlines...... In all seriousness (and not really responding to HP because I think he was only joking to get his old people reference in LOL), Carr is a lot higher talent in 2022, and there's not really any excuse to not land him at this point, unless he wants to be closer to home. This is a team destined to make a run and there is PT built in for him.. On paper, even when trying to look at it from an unbiased lens, this is a no brainer. SLU is a worlds better choice than the other option(s) If Crespin is okay sitting, then take him. Someone has to be in spots 11-13, and there is PT to be had in the coming years if he can guard a big man at this level HoosierPal likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgstl Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 It is odd that I really only want players who have already transferred once, so I know its less likely they will break my heart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking something similar regarding foreign players. Non-US citizens can't do NIL deals or they'll lose their student visa. Less likely to lose a guy to a football school offering big NIL $ when they can't accept the NIL deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think we want to rely on him as a primary ball handler. I’d certainly take him as a shooter off the bench though. I would definitely take another shooter like Kasubke...

With the changing landscape, I think we have a new class of player to go along with the One and Done. Welcome the One and Gone player. Not much difference as the player leaves after one year. SLU is not / will not be immune to this changing landscape. billiken_roy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was spotted flying to NYC today, so maybe looking at Rutgers or St. John's. I've seen nothing showing that SLU might be involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 2 hours ago, BuiltFordBills said: Sorry Old Guy, I'm not saying PT is silly or PT school and the process is silly. I took all those classes and was in the cadaver lab with them. I just think it's tough with the SLU program where you have to decide if PT is your calling as a 17/18 year old. (sorry for going off-topic from transfers here) Agree, not everyone knows their choice at that age. However, those that do not know and enter an MS program in PT with nothing other than a generic/biology BS degree have a very tough time. The more you learn in the undergrad, the easier grad school is. BuiltFordBills likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, looks like he's focused more on non-basketball professional next steps. 1 minute ago, wgstl said: it doesn't appear that way Even if Duke had a scholarship to give him, he's at the end of the roster. Getting a free year at Duke and spending a year with their basketball team after finishing at Harvard is not a bad way to spend the 23rd year of your life.

Would be better if he increased his free-throw percentage. I have no idea if he would be interested, but that would make SLU incredibly deep at guard/wing.

I would love to have him, but it seems unlikely that we would have enough minutes to offer. He's such an unusual player - we could offer him back-up PG minutes and minutes at the 4, probably 20 mpg.

I'm not saying he's prototypical at either position, but he could get some minutes as an undersized 4 in the A-10. He's a physical beast. He led OSU in assists and 2nd in rebounding. Like Jordair, a terrible 3 pt shooter, but just a baller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty Light Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I see Tennessee is on of the finalists to land Tyrese Hunter, the Big12 Freshman of the year. None of his picks are closer to his Wisconsin home than Ames except Purdue. I would imagine if he does not pick the Boilers it is because of money. His Cyclone coach took a group of transfers to the Sweet 16 his first season and he played in the best conference in the country. His pro prospects would not be jeopardized playing for Iowa State.
