ACE Posted March 21, 2023 Author Share Posted March 21, 2023 5 minutes ago, Bilzz said: I know Cisse was only a freshman, but it's going to take a lot of work to get him servicable. I'd much rather see what Vice or Zhang can do if someone is getting pushed out. I also think SLU under-recruits bigs every year, but would be nice if we could find a stretch big. I agree. I would like to see four bigs on the roster. Within the group - at least one high level shot-bloacker and a stretch big, which would allow you to play two bigs at the same time in certain match-ups. Also a reliable low post scorer and a good passer in the group. The 4th big should be a freshman for developmental purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per 40 stats are Ace baldwin level with offense and defense 16.6 ppg, 2.4 steals(!), 4.6 assists, 5.6 reb, 38% from 3, and 46% FG. His TO are too high, really his only problem. Gilbert's offensive numbers are somewhat misleading. Offensively he had up and down season and was much better overall in the first half of the season than the second. That said I really like him and he would have been our best guard/wing defensively last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've signed guys in mid-late summer. We could get a commitment this week. Appreciate your work breaking down all of these recruits, make my life a lot easier.

Any of these guys a 4 that can shoot? We haven’t had a player over 6’6 that can knock down a three in over a decade. Give me some 3 and D guys too. Run and gun doesn’t work.

We need JGOOD clones and some shooters The Oden dude WG and Dennis have been talking about shot 34% from 3 last season (1/3 per game). Better % than Andrew Carr. Good enough to keep the defense honest. He’s improved his 3PT shooting percentage each year (24, 30, 34). EDIT: I guess he’s not a 4?

Matty Light Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 https://www.kcrg.com/2023/03/22/ulis-ogundele-transfer-iowa/?outputType=amp Ulis is a very solid defensive point guard. Ogundele is a Jimmy Bell type from the UK. If they are interested in going down a conference level for PT then I know an A10 team that needs a center and a point guard.

johnbj14 Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 SLU is in the final 5 for Camren Hunter, a transfer from Central Arkansas with 2 years to play. He’s a point guard who is very physical, while being good on offense and defense. Would be a major add! BilliesBy40 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m gonna say the “mental health and well being” portion is gonna be a pretty easy out for anyone who wants it. How can you argue someone isn’t having issues with mental health at a certain school?
