Recruiting - 2026


Pistol

Recommended Posts

I don't have any solid names yet from SLU's recruiting standpoint, but as we head into the HS season I know there are some intriguing 2026 names in the STL area. Symon Ghai Dhak is over 7 feet and attends Vianney. The new coaching staff at Principia has a talented young group coming in. Terrell Ramey cited Oscar Patterson (Ritter), Jameson Hughes (Kirkwood), Ronald Henry (Principia), Armon Aaron (Vashon), Brodie Owen (Marquette), Dorea McCaskill (Vashon), and Quincy Williams (Webster Groves) as guys who have played well in the Ramey Fall League.

Jahidi lives really close to me, if these kids are any good maybe I will offer to mow his grass or something.  

This past winter I loved seeing Jahidi at the Chaminade games sitting at center court, such an enormous man. Unfortunate that his boys were both dealing with injuries (as well as the other Chaminade stud freshman, pg Jonny Jordan), but happy to see them both back and playing. If you do mow his lawn, I suggest you do a damn good job.

I see Jimmy McKinney has a kid playing with those three for BBE 15U as well. JJ Andrews (his dad was a NFL offensive lineman (1st round pick and Pro Bowler) playing college football at Arkansas, so definitely an impressive group of parents on that team) who looks like a future star is also playing with that group.

Mowing lawns might get us a 3 star but if they are above that you’ll need to up your game.

Maybe throw in a couple car washes and driveway snow shoveling.
