Tylor Perry commits to North Texas. We were supposedly in his final four.

Tylor Perry commits to North Texas. We were supposedly in his final four.
Take away North Texas' big moment last month, and SIU's program definitely is the stronger of the two. Heck, didn't [apparently the previous coach's name is treated as a vulgarity by the Saluki Insider filter] even beat them twice in the same season?
Oh well. Another JUCO point guard target of Southern's, Terry Roberts, is supposed to announce his choice on the 23rd.

Don't believe everything you read on a player's twitter account. 😉
This was posted almost a week ago. SIU didn’t miss out on this player.
RJ Eytle Rock transferred from UMBC to Utah State
RJ Eytle Rock transferred from UMBC to Utah State
Followed his former UMBC coach who left for Utah State. He would have been a really good add.

yes it is and I feel like that is this boards best feature

Another player we "reached out" to.

Don’t hold your breath
Still expecting to hear some news soon, at least on the incoming recruit. Last year we inked JD Muila on 4/15, followed by Anthony D, Steven V and Kyler F all on 4/21. At this time, however, we only have 1 open spot so either they're waiting for another possible departure or they're really doing their due diligence to ensure the spot that is filled is done so by the most impactful player possible.

The suspense continues to build. Seems like they’ve put in time on JUCO guards Curtis Jones and Terry Roberts. Would be great to land one of those two, though an athletic 4 to split time with D’Avanzo also would work nicely.

I kind of hope they go the high major transfer market. Granted, there's a small sample size here but the biggest successes they've had so far are Barret Benson from Northwestern and Ronnie Suggs from Missouri. These are guys that can get adjusted to the MVC much faster and maybe surprise you with increased playing time but these options seem to be dwindling. Still some good low-major and JUCO guys out there though.
