So right now we only have 1 confirmed commitment?
According to the newly updated Grid, we have the freshmen Butler and Banks plus the JUCO JD Muila.
Plus a walk-on Zack Gibson
Gibson is on a football scholarship and plans on playing both sports. That didn't work out so well for Avery Taggart last season. The 6'5" Gibson did play AAU basketball with the Illinois Wolves organization.
I am new here...just wondering what the best recruiting websites are to track who SIU has made offers to. I have been a fan of Saluki Basketball since 1988 when I moved with my mom to Carbondale from DuQuoin. Go easy on me, I am sure this question has been answered somewhere here before.

I was bored and did some recruiting research today. Best I can tell, these guys still haven't committed. We are or were rumored to be in on them:
Kellen Tynes 6'2" PG RNS (Canada) - Spent most of last Monday on phone/facetime with Coaching Staff of Quinnipiac University. I think he'd be a good get and I don't think we're out of it yet.
Koreem Ozier 6'1" Soph PG Sacred Heart
Jeremiah Williams 6'5" SF Chicago Simeon
Rameon Hinton 6'4" SG Chicago Curie - Some folks seem to think he's already verballed to Kent State, but I couldn't find anything official. He'd be a very good get, as his stock has risen significantly this season.
Anthony Hunter, Jr. 6'0" PG Durango HS
Antwuan Butler 6'0" PG Soph Austin Peay
Drew Peterson 6'8" SF Rice Soph - No chance. Too many big schools involved already.
Dontrelle McQuarter 6'7" SF Hinds CC - COMMITTED TO RIDER
Louth Coulibaly 6'8" PF Canadien Top Flight Academy
Kyler Filewich 6'8 PF Orangeville Prep - His only offer so far is from Presbyterian College, but I like this kid.
Adong Makoui 6'9" C Daytona St CC - Some lower D1s are in on him.
JD Muila 6'8" PF Indian Hills CC - COMMITTED TO SIU. He's better than his stats, plays for a top-notch juco, & is described as "one of the best defensive big men in the country."
Ariel Bland 6'7" SF AZ Compass Prep
Tyrus Baynham, Jr. 6'5" SF Tennessee Prep Academy - We have offered according to Rivals & Dawgs Hoops.
Will Wilson, Jr. 6'7" SF Ditto. He seems to really like SIU...Twitter account shows him in our uniform.
Detrick Reeves, Jr. 6'3" SG Marion HS (Arkansas)
Reggie Strong 6'1" PG Chicago Orr HS
Desmond Polk 6'4" SG LaLumiere HS
Dylan Branson 6'5" SG Mehlville HS (St. Louis, MO)
AJ Staton-McCray 6'5" SG West Oaks Academy (Charlotte, NC)
Jayden Johnson 6'6" SG Batavia HS (IL)
Todd Burt 6'8" PF Trinity Christian Academy (Raleigh, NC)
Amar Brown 6'8" C/PF Veritas Prep (LaVern, CA)
Eric Boone 6'3" PG John A Logan College
GRAD TRANSFERS
Destin Barnes 6'7" SG Jacksonville - Too many big schools involved.
Cory Hightower, Jr. 6'7" SF Presbyterian - Ditto. His dad played in the NBA.
Anthony D'Avanzo 6'8" SF Lewis Univ. - I think we might have a shot at this one.
Once again, this is mostly guesswork on my part based on some recruiting searches, Twitter posts, etc. It gave me something to do today and I thought it might be nice to have a list of unsigned players we MIGHT be in on. If anyone has updates or knows something that would add to or refute any of this, feel free to share!
Updated. I missed a few the first time. It seems we are still in on a bunch of Prep players. Would be nice to add players to next year's Freshman Class, along with another couple of jucos/transfers.
Here’s a list that was put together a few days ago. I’m not sure if there have been changes to it.

Second that, welcome aboard. Stay connected here. You will get breaking news on offers, commitments and transfers long before any media outlet writes about it.

Welcome, Will. You're supposed to stay anonymous, but you didn't make it too hard for us to figure out who you are! 🤣
Commit incoming.
do not ask me who because I don’t know yet and even if I did we let the kid announce it first
Dawgs Basketball just updated their Twitter thread with some newer transfers we are showing interest in. I have been scouring the Twitterverse trying to find any new info, but nothing official yet. Barkeep- my guess is one of the Canadians, probably Makoui. But I would love to see us get Coulibaly or Tynes.
This one is not on me so I have no answers.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">4 more NCAA and USports commits coming in the next 4 days.

I'd guess it's one of these guys, maybe more than one.
