bills16 Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 saw this on the ill st. board. Group: Members Posts: 236 Joined: Jan. 2001 Posted: Aug. 06 2003,08:50 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- the following post was taken from a message board on highschool elite. hopefully it is not true because i think matt shaw would be a good pick up for us. but i guess we will see. "I'am the head of the booster club at Centralia & Matt told me that he had chosen 4 schools 1. Creighton 2. Sou. Ill. 3. S.W. MO. ST. 4. Marquette."

Box and Won Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Seems kind of hard to believe that he would have SMS on his list over SLU with an offer on the table. If there is any truth to this, I can understand his interest in the other three programs, although playing time at Marquette might be hard to come by.

Billiken Law Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Marquette is searching for a PF for their last scholarship. They lose Merritt this year and Jackson (JUCO) the year after that. They will only have 1 other legit PF, incoming freshman James Matthews, remaining after 2004-05. Shaw, if he's legit, could definitely get significant playing time at MU.

thetorch Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Could this person possibly asked him before SLU offered? If this is true that we are off his list it is a big dissapointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quality Is Job 1 Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 The original post (on HighSchoolElite -- http://www.voy.com/90088/123.html) is dated August 5 (yesterday). I have no idea when the alleged conversation took place, though. It could have been a month ago, for all we know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willie Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 I have heard from a very good sorce that we have in fact offered.I doubt we offered at a fairly late date unless we believe that Shaw has real interest in SLU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tseugnekillib Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 It's possible in Centralia, Illinois. The biggest thing going in that town is the high school bball teams....the Orphans and the Orphan Annes. They play in one of the two or three classic old-time high school gyms remaining in downtown state Illinois. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
