Nope. Missouri has not been near the top of his list. Villanova and UConn have.
Gordon, the SLU commit big, is also on that team. He may be rethinking SLU these days.

Combes, just speculation on your part (regarding Gordon)?
At this point the 6'10" by itself will darn near do.

No. Illinois has little interest in Ramey not because he isn't a very good player but because what we have now and coming in.
On Gordon there's a lot of conflicting information whether he signed or not. Allegedly he did as there was a ceremony for it with a pic of him "signing".
Keep in mind that doesn't mean 100% he signed and SLU wouldn't throw it out there if he didn't. I do think he did.
With that said I'd think the case with slu should give him an "out" on this. Multiple players involved in a case that would be his future teammates should give him the opportunity to say "look I'm not comfortable going here with this going on".
It's a unique situation but if a kid signs and then almost a 1/3 of the team gets suspended or expelled I think he should have the chance to reopen his recruitment.
we have little interest in Ramey, huh ? might be news to the staff going to see him, huh ?
Ramey would work here, but IF Nova still has interest and I were him, I think the whole idea there would be best. I mean really, look what Brunson did here, we gave him the keys basically, he will be leaving....you should take over.
Now I am not comparing the two, just speaking of the sales pitch I would use.
OK, total speculation time. Recruiting Ramey doesn't make a lot of sense, at face value, anyway (i.e., he's not coming here). But his dad is a huge mover and shaker in the St. Louis AAU scene. Think our effort lies there.
As to Gordon, will he get out of his LOI? The kid is physically ready for the BIG. Pretty skilled too. Would welcome it.
If Gordon decides he wants out of his LOI, the SLU would be pretty callous to deny it given the circumstances.

Gordon will request out within 12 hours of Goodwin getting any punishment publicly. Maybe quicker. He will be allowed out I agree, where he ends up, I think ILLINI would have a pretty good chance, Mizzery isn't doing much better with their players this year or next it looks like.
You might be onto something...connections, connections, never know. I would take Gordon in a heartbeat if he is let out.
Ayo, Gordon, + 2, lose Alstork, Matic (doubt it), + one other? 1 year with system all primary players back. I look forward to ILLINI ball again.
...follow that up with Okoro and Liddell, we could be right back where we were in the early 2000s.
Ramey plays with Gordon. We can't recruit Gordon because he's currently signed. *wink**wink* This isn't difficult. Figure it out people.
It sure sounds like Goodwin is gone, assuming he's the one that was expelled, as per reports. The appeal can't be a we disagree with the decision, it has to be either a procedural error or new evidence. Rare to have that type of appeal won.

Where are you seeing Goodwin is the one that was expelled? I found this article from Wednesday that says he played in their most recent game, came out after the 3 suspended and 1 expelled made the news...
