VTIME Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Leon Powell 6’7 PF Vashon Josh Harrellson 6'8 PF/C St. Charles Adam Keil 6'7 PF St. Dominic Mike Baker 6'7 PF Whitfield Tyler Kiel 6'6 PF Lindbergh Jake Alexander 6'6 SF?F Herculaneum Lucas O'Rear 6'7 PF Nashville Jeremy Felton 6'6 Belleville East 3 of these 7 guys would DEFINITELY be impact players at SLU. Harrellson, Powell, and O'Rear. Harrellson is steamrolling the area right now leading his team to 12-0 start and averaging 20pts and 8 rebounds. We all know about Powell and O'Rear,they just keep getting better each year. Any of those 3 could start as a freshman for SLU, especially Harrellson who is a load at 6'8 265 and actually has the height and weight to be a college center right now.

VTIME Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 We dont have to have a center in 2007. Besides Elton Brand and Sean May won championships in college as 6'8 centers. We dont have to have a center period. We can thrive with two good pf's inside like a LOT of good teams do in college basketball. I'm NOT comparing anyone we have or are recruiting to May or Brand though. I'm just saying you dont need a ton of size to win a national title. The top 4 guys on my list, Harrellson, Powell, and O'Rear guys who will be impact players on a team like SLU. Harrellson is quickly putting himself mix as one of the top big men in the area along with Powell and Griffey and an emerging prospect in Brandenburg.

Welcome back, VTIME. You must be off your medication or something. If you're lucky, one of those kids would be an impact player at SLU. Most of those kids wouldn't be impact players at SLUH — St. Louis University HIGH. I would guess that three of those kids will play Division I basketball somewhere (Powell, Harrellson and O'Rear), while the others are possibilities but no where close to sure things. As for the O'Rear talk, I overheard a D-1 basketball coach saying that O'Rear probably won't be an effective player in the Missouri Valley Conference because he can't score over bigger people. At 6-6, he'll only face bigger people in college. Wow. What a list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stchuckbilliken Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I watched Harrellson play 4 games this past week and he is a real stud. Also, with very soft hands and good instincts around the basket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Latsch Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 >I watched Harrellson play 4 games this past week >and he is a real stud. Also, with very soft >hands and good instincts around the basket. I know Earl Austin Jr. likes Harrellson as a prospect. He's definitely a player to watch. From what I've heard, he hasn't played much organized basketball. So if that's the case, he should continue to get better the more he plays. If he is still growing, he'd be a nice project for someone. I believe Mo. Valley Conference schools are looking at him now. - Nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taj79 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 ... appreciate the list, but you CANNOT ever, without a doubt, unequivocally say "so-and-so will DEFNITELY do such-and-such" and be an impact player anywhere. And I don't think its confined to you .... I've seen guys listed all over the place, most recently Jihad Muhammed at UC, that were #1 or #2 or whatever in their respective ranks. I would offer that whatever it is comes true maybe 50 percent of the time. That is a pretty piss-poor percentage for "can't miss" prospects from so called "respected" ranking services. They are much more credible than you ... although that's not really saying much on their behalf. What I'm hoping for is for your boy, Leon, the one you used as your sign-in profile name, to come to SLU just so we can put this all over the speculation phase and into the reality phase. Otherwise, you can name guys like Donder Blitzfik at Iron Knob High and who could argue otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tseugnekillib Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 If 6-8 Harrellson has the tools, but hasn't played much, sounds like he would be a perfect candidate for an east coast prep school.... assuming he has a passion for basketball.

Cowboy Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 and i will ask only about harrelson, who from what i have heard started playing the 8th grade, 4 yrs ago the point was every player in d1 is quicker than hs i will contend they are taller, as a guideline, as well in st charles county basketball, of which i have seen a bit, how many times has josh harrleson played against someone his own size or bigger and what happened in those games? this is by no means a slam on the kid, he is very, very good right now as a hs player where could he go from here?? i don't know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTIME Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 Come see him when he plays against the top freshman in the area Tyler Griffey on January 28th at Lafayette. The other freshman SLU should be looking at is Bryant Allen. Gateway Basketball Club and the Eagles were fighting for his services last spring as an 8th grader. He's currently averaging 15pts 8 rebs, 5 asts, 4stls, and over 1 block per game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 or maybe he is a good candidate for the inside player project that coach soderberg wanted to get and redshirt. from the sounds of it, he isnt the guy that will come in and start and be an impact player which is what coach soderberg wanted with the main pf scholarship to give.

p diddy Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Allen is already on SLU's radar. He has already been to a Billiken game. His coach is former Billiken Corey Frazier. Harrellson from St. charles is also on the list as well. He seems to have some nice tools for a player his size. He is quite a load in the paint. we could use a little more beef in the program, especially if he can play and that appears to be the case here. bad boyz for life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is all I have to say about that. His high school coaches are Corey Frazier, John Redden, and Matt Baniak so I wouldn't worry too much about him getting a proper SLU influence.

VTIME Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 OJ stay on mosports.com. You are the same genius that said that Kenny Harris told you Vashon was going to be on ESPN this year. The only thing I've ever seen you be right about was Harris transferring to Vashon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Julius Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Kenny Harris did tell me that they were going to be on ESPN and that was one of the things that was used to recruit him to Vashon. Since I was on both of the coaching staffs of the Gateway 15's and the Eagles 15's I should know what players were wanted on both squads last year. So until you can give me some proof that Gateway and the Eagles were fighting over him you need to shut up and come up with new ways to convince someone you know something about the players in the area.

billiken_roy Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 if this allen is the real deal and DOESNT become a billiken with three ex bills as his coaches, then that would be disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've been trying to pass along your own opinions as facts since you've been on these message boards, and now you're trying to call out someone else by accusing him of doing the same. I know who OJ is and he knows a lot more than you'll ever know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
