@salukiworld how does a 7 footer with a college scholarship in hand only score 4 points???? It seems he should be getting 6-10 PPG on rebounds and put backs. I'm not expecting very much of him next year. I hope I am pleasantly surprised.
I watched three of Amarillo's games a couple of months ago when they played in a tournament in Tennessee. The Amarillo offense does not run through Hornecker, which I thought was a bit odd, given he is a 7 footer. The Villanova recruit gets lots of touches, and the coach's kid plays on the team too. The TV announcers commented several times on what great footwork he has, one of them remarked that SIU got a "steal" with Hornecker. He shoots a good percentage from the field, 80% from the line. Looking at the schools that offered him, I am not concerned about him not being a good player. And I also think he has gained some weight over the last few months. Given our that we will have other centers next year, I will be surprised if he does not redshirt.

Damn. We could've really used this kid.

I hope this doesn’t mean we are out of the Brian Moore race.

His efficiency numbers are not great but I'm glad we have recognized our need for a PG. Seem to be involved with a few
We recruit numerous players at once , as obviously you never know who you will be able to get.
Much rather see somebody that can score - a stud forward for example. Need to replace Coupet!
@mr_woogers I couldn’t agree more. Someone that can shoot the 3 and create his own shot.

Looks to be a similar player to Verplancken. Had 47/37/75 shooting splits

I believe that is where Jalen Pendleton transferred.
I'm not big on D2 transfers. I don't think you're ever going to find a real stud going that route. Someone would have to be really overlooked.

I think you're looking at a bigger adjustment period more than anything. I'd much rather go JUCO or transfer and try to get an instant impact. I don't mind SIU exploring all avenues though right now and making connections.
