Nice to get 2021 rolling and especially with a big! He certainly looks the part.
Offers from Northern Illinois and Miami Ohio.
We just got a commit from 6’9 Center from Mundelein, IL
Nice! According to his twitter, he played for the Illinois Wolves and Tony Young was his coach
....and Matt Badgley is his HS Coach. The other schools didn't stand a chance! 🤣
Great news and BOOM (insert aerial bomb sound here) explosive get! Nice way to begin July 4th celebration.
Welcome to SIU Scottie!
March on triumphantly!

Looks like he's involved with the Illinois Wolves, comes from the same town and high school as Sean O'Brien
Awesome! So excited he chose to commit to SIU. I think he's going to be a very good big man for The Dawgs! Congratulations to the coaching staff for their efforts.
Welcome to Saluki Nation Mr. Ebube!
A giant Saluki welcome to Scottie Erube. A wonderful and smart choice you have made and a fantastic recruitment by Coach Mullins and his awesome staff. Another great day to be a SALUKI !!!
@rockin-dawg How do you know Matt?

Ebube seems like a good get, and it's great to tap into the Mullins family Illinois Wolves connections in such a competitive recruiting landscape. It would be great to get one or two Wolves kids in each class (to supplement our deep pipeline north of the border 😀 ).
The staff has been working the 2021 class hard, and this is a good start. Too bad we don't have more open rides for that class, although obviously roster churn has become the norm, so I'm sure they'll continue to recruit aggressively.
Still hoping they come up with at least one late add for depth for this season (two scholarships remain open for 2020).
@rockin-dawg How do you know Matt?
Knew him when he was a Grad Assistant here at SIU. And also when he coached at Trico HS.
This is amazing. This guy isn't really even a sleeper, and here we are. Wow.

This coaching staff is head & shoulders above the previous one. We waited a year too long to pull the trigger, in my opinion. But I like where we are now.

Agreed. I think if Ebube had been able to play the usual AAU tournaments this summer, his stock would have soared along with a lot more offers. We got a good one.
Want a 5 with size to start the 21/22 class, done. Solid recruit with several D1 offers, done. Want a solid citizen with academics to match, done. Want a very positive attitude and high level of commitment, done. Are our coaches good or what? Welcome Scottie! You're gonna be a terrific Saluki!
