Then what's with all the "Ford has been in Goodwin's ear" talk?
Come on... he didn't get that much worse just because reports are he is leanng the other way now.
Didn't seem to carry that much weight...I asked directly and it seemed he was definitely plan B for only 1, and I didn't count that 1 in the 4 above us.Yea but how many of those higher are still trying to get him. Or don't have him as a plan b, c etc

Jordan Goodwin should call Jawun Evans.
Would Groce still try if Goodwin does commit to SLU
Take this for what it's worth, but a source close to this situation told me today that UI is running at least 4th, maybe 5th in the race for JS.
That is insane. Both parents are alumni, plays in state, and the best we can do is 4th? Wow.
Also, sounds like Groce lost Goodwin - hope we can hold onto Tilmon and add another good player or two.

How soon people forget we have a 5* commit and could be getting one of the best players on the AAU circuit this year later this month? Sheesh.

This thread will get worse and worse until the regular season begins and people have other things to angst over.How soon people forget we have a 5* commit and could be getting one of the best players on the AAU circuit this year later this month? Sheesh.
All eyes on Jordan Goodwin
Goodwin has gone into stealth mode since the end of the AAU season. St. Louis Eagles head coach Corey Frazier told IlliniInquirer.com on Wednesday that Goodwin has not talked to any coaches over the last two weeks.
But the talk on the outside has run rampant. One thing has become clear: This is a battle between Illinois and SLU, despite there being seven teams on the list Goodwin released on July 26.

While Ford may be the one who came up with the sales idea, Tate is the one who sold it. Ford was hired at the end of March, St. Louis was never in the discussion the rest of the spring and summer. Tate was hired July 29th and all of a sudden, St. Louis smoke was everywhere. And it certainly helped that StL was Goodwin's team growing up. Really, all he's doing is what most people on here hoped Alexander would do. Come to a downtrodden program and lead it to some success.
I guess I interpreted this as not talking to any of the Eagles coaches, not meaning Illinois or SLU coaches. Was he meaning that Goodwin has cut himself off from Groce and Ford and everyone else?
Except JGood is not on the same plane as Alexander from a rankings standpoint to be able to take a team to promised land by himself. You would think he would be smart enough to realize that. Players like the spotlight, but they like to win, too, and SLU offers less chance of real winning.
Piper said on Tay and Jay a few days ago that Goodwin was not talking to any college coaches at all - not SLU or U of I or anything else.
