@insaluki there’s also a lot of really good athletic players in d2 that can make the jump. It’s not what I would do but if a player is better in d2 than a d1 kid I’m not gonna hesitate because of the division. I also think what you consider athletic is really high standards until they prove you otherwise. Elija child’s could come here and I’d hear he’s slow lol
Now come on, we've already covered that. I've listed by "fast" players on this team. And there's actually more than just Jones (lol). Yes, of coiurse, there ARE D2 players who would be studs at this level. But considering this team is under .500 in the past 2 seasons, and I'm ADMITTEDLY not the most patient person, I'd much rather go after a more proven commodity. I've seen a few 6'6 6'7 wings in the transfer portal that I think would immediately take this team to another level. I'm going to keep my hopes up for them guyses. : )
6'8 C from Western Michigan

Tre Mitchell, UMASS, is an absolute STUD and has entered the portal. My hope is that sometime in the relative near future that guys like him will not only be on SIU's radar but where they have a legitimate shot at landing them. These are the types of players SIU needs to get to take them to the next level.

It looks like we are "reaching out" to everyone that enters the portal...but then so is everyone else. Wonder what the criteria is to "reach out" or "heard from" is? Billy from down the street called and said you should look up (name your school) on the web man... 🙂

I would be willing to bet quite a few shillings that unless a kid meets the non-negotiable criteria of being a person of good character the Mullins boys are passing him up!

Character is HUGE.........without mentioning any names, a former coach brought in the highest rated recruits in the school's history and it ultimately brought this program back into the dark ages. That being said, there ARE plenty of high character kids out there that are also long, athletic, quick, strong, etc. Here's hoping they land a couple of "those guyses".
