3star_recruit Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 1 hour ago, Pistol said: SLU has apparently reached out to Carlton Linguard from K-State. Linguard was expected to take a step up at Kansas State but had his season derailed by a knee injury. If you're going to gamble on a player for your 13th scholarship, this is the kind of low risk/medium upside gamble you make. Just by his ability to put up some resistance to Okoro in practice, he would automatically be an upgrade over Lorentsson. We would still have three scholarships left to hit on a combo guard and a proven backup big. P.S. We offered Linguard out of juco two years ago.

Add KK Robinson to the list. He announced he was entering the portal about an hour ago. Played last season at Arkansas.

slu72 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Did Turnbull give us serious consideration during his recruitment? I seem to recall it came down to us and Butler. If so, we would be a good home for him given our needs at the big spot. One would think he could be looking at 15 mpg. Not bad for a FR big.

I don't watch them, so I don't know if this is skill or locker room issue, but Im good if its either of those. Ah, so you are one of those mentioned above.

He is a 6'7 wing who averaged 18.7 points, shot 61.4%, 8.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.2 steals a game. He is not a 3 point threat. He would have one year of eligibility left.

Maybe we'll get a second swing at him. He'd be a nice get right now if he indeed gets out of his LOI. brianstl likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old guy Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Thank you. I think he should already have found out that his chances of being drafted into the NBA are nil. You say he has until June 1st to withdraw from the NBA draft and come back to college. Does this mean it is his right to come back if he withdraws before that date?

If he’s allowed to come back and plays great, then fine. More likely, the Nesbitt ship has sailed and we search the portal for a replacement.

Taj79 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Does anybody know if Nesbitt is still in school? He'd have to be in order to complete classes and maintain progress towards his degree. This is the one key step to the transfer portal, maintaining NCAA dictated progress towards a degree. He'd have to complete his spring semester commitments to move on untouched. Although I'd guess he'd need a waiver because this would be his third school in technically one year. If he was indeed going pro, all the college requirements would drop by the wayside. Pros don't care. That's why a lot of these guys don't graduate. They stay eligible enough to make it to their senior season and once they are academically qualified to finish that out, all efforts go to basketball and school and a degree is an after thought. What is Nesbitt's situation? Is he still in school? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team seemed to like him and offensively I thought he was to unselfish a lot of the time.
