SluSignGuy Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Has Mr. Liddell said those words that we are wanting to hear SO much? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bauman Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 It's official-I heard parts of his press conf. on 1380 today. He seemed excited about pairing up with D Polk in the backcourt and said one of his reasons for picking SLU is that he would like to play the point sometimes and Brad told him he would have that opportunity. Said Brad contacted him the most and had almost become part of the family. WAY TO GO BRAD AND STAFF!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeSmetBilliken Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 They've played each other at Savvis on Martin Luther King Day the past couple of years, so I'd guess that they'll do it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NashvilleBilliken Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 It's good to make it official. Awesome commitment for us.... To make sure, this is just a verbal commitment, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 i might be wrong, but i believe the official fall signing date is either november the 5th or 12th. i would bet since the recruits are all local, brad will make a big public spectacle of them all signing together on that date. at least i would if i was brad.

Schasz Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 The Tipoff meeting should be held after the signing date, so Brad could get his just reward...a standing ovation for a job well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sludaddy Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Remember the rules though. They have to be off campus when they sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basketbill Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Not only do they have to be off campus but Brad cannot be present, and it has to be delivered independently byt mail courier or fax, I believe. And it is not over until it is over, so lets hope they follow through By the way any word on qualifying?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 i did not know that. strange, but brad recently told us the story of wisconsin when bennett signed his final four team out of high school. they all visited during signing week and signed on the spot according to his story.

billiken_roy Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 welcome to the board sludaddy! thanks for your insight. i wonder if that rule was recently inacted as i seem to remember north carolina doing that with i think wallace and stackhouse as well.

Jalensdad2002 Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 I'm not sure who their opponent will be this year, if not Vashon possibly some team from Chicago. They will also being competing in the Coca Cola Shootout on 11 December against some team from the South. Tommie must really enjoy playing at Savvis, because he boasts averages of 26ppg on 73.3% fgs, 10rpg, 3.5spg,and 2.5bpg in games were he starts.

billiken_roy Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 playing a team from the south...... considering keith picket typically schedules the shootout teams with 3 factors in mind, 1. a very good local team 2. an extremely highly touted national player 3. a player on the team coming in is a slu, missouri or illinois recruit i wonder if east st louis' team will be facing the horton kid from texas that will be missouri's big recruit next year? jalensdad, if so, do you think tommie would match up with him, or would east side let howlett guard horton?

Jalensdad2002 Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 East Side typically plays full court pressure defense and then falls back into a scrambling zone defense. Tommie is used at the top of the key to bother long range shooters and sometimes drops low for weak side help on post players. Very rarely have I seen them play man to man. I think he matches up well with quick players but he has a bad habit of reaching for steals. Mark Howlett is not what I would consider to be a defensive stopper by any stretch. I would expect to see them play zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
