Thanks for the updates. Like the size of these recruits.
Do we have a realistic chance at either/both?
March on triumphantly!
No idea. I do not have any inside information. I only posted that SIU had offered as listed by Verbal Commits.
I'm hopeful that the final two verbal commitments come from big men. That being said, I have consolidated the F/C (6'7" or taller) offers I am aware of that Southern has made :
Chris Payton 6'7" (Bloomington, IL)
Jalen Johnson 6'8" (Indianapolis, IN)
Luka Barisic 6'9" (Highland, IL CC)
Kasean Pryor 6'9" (Ann Arbor, MI)
Dischon Thomas 6'9" (Hillcrest Prep School, AZ)
David Skogman 6'10" (Waukesha, WI)
Jimmy Bell, Jr. 6'11" (Bella Vista College Prep School, AZ)
With this being homecoming weekend, I was wondering if anyone had heard of possible recruits in for visits.
Lance Jones officially signs
Chris Payton from Bloomington HS has narrowed it down to SIU, Illinois, Middle Tennessee and Valpo.
:medium
Payton would be a very good get! Super athletic kid that can jump out of the gym. Shot needs some work but he would be really good valley player the next 4 years!
Derek Piper the Illini 24/7 Sports lead reporter said last week on the Werner Show that Payton is down to SIU or Illinois. He prefers Illinois but as of right now his offer is non-commitable. Therefore if he doen't get a legit offer from Illinois he will be a Saluki Dawg! I have also heard he is buddies with Lance Jones

Okay sounds like he really wants to go to Illinois, he de-committed from ISU thinking he would get bigger offers and apparently he hasn't gotten them, I do think he would be a good get for us.
Did I see where we had another signing this past week-end? If so, who?
Evan Taylor, another suburban Chicago kid (Glenbard West HS).
Seen him play, nice player.
He’s certainly an MVC talent.
