bauman Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Actually, IMO he is making a mistake leaving college basketball after this year. Too small and not a good enough shooter to make the NBA or the sub-NBA. Lower level Europe or Aussie league at best. He might do better financially on NIL $$$ at SLU and getting a post-college job in the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turn pro and see how it goes unless you get a big NIL deal with a big time program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soderball Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Yuri is a euro player.. his style may do well in Europe. In the NBA and even G league those guys can make their own shot and don't need a passing guy who can't shoot and is short by basketball standards. I think his smaller stature and ability to set up may excel at euro style basketball. I expect to see him there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see him going to a program likely to make the Tournament(the real one) next year. SLU isnt doing anything next year. The roster is barren.

You're right given the transfer portal. We will have to see how things pan out. I'm not optimistic, but you are right that we don't know yet. We also have to see the full extent of guys that we lose.

Dr Bird Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 That is an exclusive list of players. Congratulations to Yuri! PS: Trinity product Ryan Kalkbrenner made the list, albeit with a typo : "Ryan Falkbrenner, Creighton" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianstl Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 It is a great thing that Yuri is doing. It is the kind of thing SLU should be very proud of their students doing in the local community. stmdragons, JMM28, Billiken Rich and 1 other like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is what Google says; The Cleo Hill award is one of five new awards named after legendary HBCU players, which will highlight the top players in all levels of college basketball. The objective is to recognize the top student athletes in college basketball, while bringing long overdue attention to some of the best players to ever play the game. Mickey Buscetto won the Cleo Hill Award in 2022. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
