They’re the ones that can get us where we haven’t been in 15 years.
He was tied for the #1 JUCO recruit 2 years ago ahead of Jamarion Sharp from John A. Logan. Obviously means nothing now but there’s some potential there.

An exceptional leaper with length. Runs the floor extremely well. The lefty is tough to defend in the paint when attacking the rim. Keeps the defense honest as a three-point shooter. Dangerous offensive rebounder. Has room to improve as a ball handler and passer. Versatile defender. Has a lot of upside but must gain weight and get stronger.
I believe some folks on this message board may feel frustrated because they are not in the know regarding recruits, when they feel they should be. I certainly do not recall last year seeing X, Big C, or Newton being listed on this site, or Twitter via recruiting experts as being players SIU were after. However, much like this year, we did see a large number of players mentioned that SIU had reached out to. Don't think we knew at all until it was officially announced by Saluki Basketball that these three players were joining the team. Same with Ben Coupet. Why would that change now?
Why in the world would SIU administration, athletics, Mullins and boosters agree to hire Jerrance Howard if they did not think he could/would provide the boost that this program desperately needs? Was there a plan discussed and put into place, on how to achieve this boost? Was the hire made just to get SIU's name out there on ESPN, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, MySpace? The man has a proven record in recruitment! Yes, it is indeed an easier proposition to recruit top players to schools such as Texas, and Kansas. Those most likely are the five and four star players that for years (long before NIL) were going to schools like that, and getting paid to do so. Was a detailed plan with objectives, goals, and end results calculated, to maximize the investment? Wager me a yes.
Predicting where our team will finish on April 28th, and calling the MVC weak next season is just plain silly. May 11th is the final day players can opt for the portal. There are many names, and talented players still to be added. 13 days left for players to jump ship. Looking forward to our additions. Don't be a silly goose. Keep the faith, and trust the process.
Where's the King? 🤨
Looks like Wilson also visited Iona recently.
Let's lock him up while he is here and maybe that will get the ball rolling for the rest of the transfers!!
He originally committed to Alabama before going to Washington.
What is SIU allowed to do with these recruits on visits?
Are they allowed to take them to a nice restaurant? Or is that against the rules?

@rafflaw Those are both fine establishments that I enjoy. But I was thinking more along the lines of Flame or Mary’s.
High-end stuff.

@rafflaw Yes, if I remember right Glenn had an offer from UNC. Picked the salukis.
