Kids put schools they don’t have an offer from all the time. Jimmy Beane did it when it was SIU and Florida State in his final two but he never had an offer from FSU lol
6'8 PF Todd Burt to Catawba
Who ?
if Bacon never had an offer this kid did not for sure
He might have had an offer but it's pretty clear grades played a role in his final outcome
How did we end up in the Bacon top five without making him an offer?
Doesn't make a lot of sense.
Burt makes sense...D2 talent.
Easy
Bryan called talking to him about the program while also assessing the kid. Kid likes the talk and is interested puts a team on his list hoping they will offer if he shows interest.
actually happens a whole lot
Exactly. Some of these recruits we treat like superstars on here don't even have D1 offers. Some will post non-existent offers on their twitter sites just to entice other schools. Can't really blame them, I guess.
Just noticed I basically just repeated everything barkeep said! 🤣
This thread sucks.....Premium is way better...

Got it. Understood.
@austinsaluki Don't make fun of 'em...my dad played there! His coach was a young Norm Sloan, who went on to coach NC State to a National Title and later coached at Florida. My dad was a starting Guard in 1951-52 and one of the top college scorers in the state of South Carolina. I did not inherit his talent. 🤣
Better than the Illinois College Blue Boys. And the women's teams are the Lady Blue Boys - now that is
(used to be anyway) weird!
So we didn't bring home the Bacon, Was Todd Burt on our list ?
According to Dawgs Basketball he was, but no he wasn't. Please take anything they say with a grain of salt. Same goes for MVC Hoops and Todd Hefferman. Some of the "misses" they've been reporting were actually kids we never even offered. It's fun to speculate, but there's a whole lot of misinformation out there.
So Dawgs Basketball is not official? I thought it was!

Nope says right on it fan page
Man I really hope we can land this kid
“Manitoba always comes ready. Well disciplined. Kyle Filewich, who could be the best true big man in the country, will do work in paint, along with Marcus Foreman. Mason Kraus & Dontae Alexander are guys I'm familiar with at guard positions. More to learn about MB”

Oh they are fine no complaints.
it is a fan page though. So who knows what they know? Their source could be Heff so consider that
EDIT: we had that well before it was announced. Just saying
Not sure where that quote is from but I don't quite see it from the vids of Filewich Looks like a bruiser but not all that impressed I guess.

If he came to SIU I would see him as a project with a high upside to be a very solid post in the Valley.
