Check out the last graph for some promising spring recruiting scuttlebutt ... that is, unless you're in the bigs-or-bust camp. Personally, I'm expecting at least three scholarships to be open this spring.

Nice catch. 247 has him as a 3 star and 9th best recruit in Illinois. Would be a nice get and sounds promising that SIU specifically gets a shoutout

That would be a pretty big get.

Love the fact that SIU has been aggressively recruiting Williams, but I also understand that without a difference making low post presence, we're in a world of hurt next season. I firmly believe Mullins & Co are looking for transfers to address the low post needs.
Wow . . . This would be a HUGE get for Southern in the Spring signing period. Agree . . . Like the comment "Southern is where I am most comfortable right now."
Go Southern Go ! ! !
A lot of talk about Williams on the Loyola message board. He visited for one of their games last week. Some speculation about him possibly reclassifying to 2021.

If he chooses us that is great... Who is going to play down low for us? Surely Mullins must know that 1 or 2 of the current players have one foot out the door? Gooch and Jeramic? Are we even in on any bigs? I trust this staff, but I am getting worried about wasting a really good team with just Dembele to play down low.

Agree with everything you say here. I am not aware of any offers to any true low post (6'10+) high school players. It's getting pretty late in the recruiting year to find someone like that who hasn't already been checked out by us or other schools. The three I know we offered are in the 6'8 range: 1. Seryee Lewis played in Chicago then transferred to Compass Prep, AZ. He was offered by the old regime back in 2018. 2. Todd Burt Jr. out of Trinity Christian Academy, Raleigh, NC. More of an athletic stretch 4 than a post player. Averaging about 14 ppg. 3. Amar Brown 6'8 235 out of Veritas Prep, La Verne, CA. Big bodied kid but haven't heard of much activity on his recruitment. Looks like our best bet for low post players is the transfer market or JUCOs.
Recruiting seems very close to the vest with this staff. Just because you’re not hearing anything doesn’t mean they aren’t out recruiting. They’re surely going to bring in at least one big man this offseason, they’re not going into next year with Dembele and Jeremic at Center. They have 3 open scholarships right now and who knows if another 1 or 2 open up. They should go after someone like Jeremiah Williams if they think he can be a big contributer going forward regardless of his size. We’d kill for the previous staff to go after someone like Williams.

3 open scholarships? we are losing McGill, Benson and Suggs and have signed Banks and Butler...

Forgot about Cook. Even if so, you’re probably seeing 1 or 2 spots open. Not gonna speculate on who but there are guys that haven’t been playing this year that definitely won’t be playing much next year.

I fully believe that at the end of the day there will be at least 3-4 new signees this spring.
I don’t believe that at all. 1 scholarship left, maybe 1 transfer opening.
