Possibly, but don't be surprised if we're in there.

I agree. Think his 5 will be Xavier, Indiana, North Carolina, UCLA and one of Illinois/UCONN/scUM.

I have two eyes, when I saw Kipper walk by JCL and was a man vs a boy I knew we had a player. His videos showing him workout or shooting around are impressive. His measurables are only second to Hill and are better than Hill as a junior. He had a tremendous career in Ohio, similiar to what JG is having in Illinois. First team all-ohio as a junior and top player on top team. His ranking is a joke IMHO, he should of been top 100.

This is the only St. Louis board I've looked at but they've gone from cautiously optimistic to kind of cocky. Although only 110 posts so far. The first post also quotes from the original Scout article that started everything.
(And for those of you who don't regularly read other message boards, please don't respond to the Groce and Illini bashing. We do it, they do it, all boards do it but you don't want to look like that goofball from Temple who used to come on here back in Brunson's recruitment do you?)

Everything else aside, my favorite was when one poster argued that SLU's supporting cast would be better than what Illinois could bring for Goodwin. I got a good chuckle out of that one. Transfers from MSU, Rutgers, and UCF should be feared, everyone.
I enjoyed the guy who guaranteed an Elite 8 run in 2018 if Goodwin chooses SLU.
I made it about half-way through the first page and had to yak. Those posters are straight up loony. Tatum? Really?! LOL
We've had more than our fair share of loony-ness on this board over the years. Can't fault fans for wanting to believe something that likely won't happen.

The biggest hurdle of JG and his staff right now is that this is a make it or break it year for them.
If they land a class with the existing commits plus Goodwin and, say Frazier and Kiir, I think one could argue Groce has successfully bought himself time. I was a definite detractor - the end to 2014-2015 really haunted me. My outlook is very different now. Successful recruiting can do a lot. I want to see us succeed this year for sure, but I am far less adamant about the need for change if all these studs want to play for Groce and co.I don't like to face it so squarely, but you are right and this is a very healthy reminder to us all.
I think the draw for Goodwin is location, familiarity with the assistant coach and the fact that he knows that Travis Ford will be there past this upcoming season. The biggest hurdle of JG and his staff right now is that this is a make it or break it year for them.
Seriously.
And it's funny, they know as little about us as we know about them, but here we are both trashing each other's teams and coaches
Billiken poster calling goodwin a lock, kiss of death 4 them
Meyer changed his Kris Wilkes CB to UCLA this morning. People can talk about Ford all they want, but Alford. Now there's a coach I don't understand getting so many 5 star players.

Maybe I'm just ignorant but ucla doesn't seem like it should be that hard of a place to recruit to.
People who haven't spent much time on the West Coast have a hard time understanding how big of a deal USC football and UCLA basketball are in the whole Pacific time zone.
There is UNC-type reverence for that program, and their recruiting has always reflected that.
Call me spiteful, but I'm going to be awfully giddy if IU goes 0/2 on Wilkes & Scruggs.
