Kevin Samuel, 6-11, 255, from TCU entered the portal. Averaged 8.8/7.8 with 1.7 bpg this year. His stats previous year were a bit better with 10 ppg, 8.4 rpg and 2.7 bpg. Strictly a low post guy and even a worse free throw shooter than Kofi. Don’t remember seeing him play this year.

Don't forget Bill Francis of Alton.
Sorry Brian Cook.
Geez, I hope these are all hypothetical ACE whoopuns
from all these folks that would: “like a word with me.”

To be fair, you did say small town and then people started listing players from Metro East, Peoria, etc lol so not all of these truly qualify
Hmmmm, this IS the recruiting thread correct? Feels like I've chosen the history channel.
Don't forget Larry Smith - Alton, IL
True. (and thank you)
Bruce Douglas for example, is from Quincy(around 40k) If you live in Chicago that’s SUPER small. To me its a medium sized town...
Still, I should have framed it much better than I did.
That...sounds less than promising
He’s a big body center who has shot over 64% from field for his career and blocks more shots than Kofi did. Obviously he’s not Kofi, but given AC’s penchant and skill at feeding the low post, he would likely up his points total. Again, I’ve not seen him play, but doesn’t seem like a terrible option. He combined with Payne would make a pretty good center rotation.
Johnny Orr
Harry Combes
Andy Phillip
And, of course, the great Bill Rucks!!

Agree. If we can get two athletic post bangers that would be a nice defensive line to have. As I recall, at Baylor most of the scoring came from the 1 to 3 positions and the 4 and 5 did all the mop up, blocks, rebounds and dunks.
Small town Peoria?

...and your point lurker?
His teammate Rick Schmidt wasn't too bad either.
Yes, but is he from a small town downstate?...If not, I guess you're on the wrong thread now...
Also, I guess "small town downstate" now means anywhere in Illinois outside the Chicago area.

Kind of like the history channel, it require 24 hours of programming regardless of what’s currently occurring in the world.
Steve Lanter.....if only he didn't blow his knee out, that season may have belonged to us and not Magic.

Geoff takes the lead!
I've only been on the forum for about 6 years, but this coaching carousel boredom paired with the Adam Miller thread is the most brutal Loyalty stretch I can remember. The Meyers Leonard post is the icing on the cake.
I guess... Georgia is in there so..
Also, that is kind of an odd group of 11.
