ACE Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Maybe because he is a similar size and a lefty, but on the highlights he reminds me a bit of Eric Williams who played for the Dukes and then transferred to Oregon. BTW, Williams was recruited to Duquesne by our new assistant Charles Thomas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVBilliken Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Step 1, get the commitment Step 2, get him signed early signing period in November Step 3, get him on campus late Summer If he "blows up" this HS/Prep season, the bigs boys will be coming to take him. So, it's a long way to go, but good start. Always worry about those recruits from far-away places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Player retention is first, followed by transfers. They should reevaluate any strategy where HS recruiting is not a priority for a college basketball problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, I didn't think much of the photo until this post and you are right. Maybe due to the surrounding arena being darker? I don't find the photo cringe. However, good call on Brian Kelly, I will pay for the equipment so Travis can get the 360 videos with recruits. Maybe don't grind on the recruits though!

Now, contrary to 05's suggestion of a "NIL Meet Up Space" in the O'CCenter, I think a Social Media Lab, think back drops, props would be very good. 1. For the recruiting photos. 2. For athletes doing their NIL bidness. These things are hot popping up all over and if SLU's had some giant S-L-U and Neon Billiken head, lighting and other accoutrements it would be used by the athletes. Follow me for more ideas on how the AD can improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I think the conversation is around unofficial visits - no photo shoot. Official visits still okay. But if your parent has a cell phone, shoot away.

I googled this an it seems like majority of athletic staffs are for this. It takes time and $ to set up a photo shoot for these unofficial visitors. And for what. The visitor posts on social media and then……… Have your mom or buddy take these photos and post away. Unofficial visits aren’t paid for by the school. They are paid for by the visitor. On official visits, go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just don't want to be the 1 school that doesn't so they want to ban it. Why does the NCAA need to be involved at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
