Jordan Goodwin commits to SLU

Yeah, MSU fans weren't too excited that they had even offered.
Definitely don't understand this one.. hiring the aau coach really turned the tide. Try to get a big, blitz Frazier next week, see whats up with Eastern & hopefully get a visit from scruggs. If they doesn't commit roll it over to 18'. Do not.. I repeat do not accept another small forward.
I just want to know why

Congrats to the kid. Disappointing but I can respect it.

SLU fan here and I promise I come in peace...
Sounds like Ford went full-court press on Goodwin over the last month and then getting Corey Tate as an assistant was massive. Ford also told Goodwin he could play PG at SLU and that Goodwin reminded Ford of Marcus Smart. He told Goodwin that being a PG was his route to the NBA. That apparently sat EXTREMELY well with Goodwin as no other coach had brought that up.
That said, I've seen Goodwin play more than a dozen times and I don't think he's PG material. Definitely a better chance in the A10 than the Big 10, but I still don't see it. But again, that's how recruiting works. You tell a guy what he wants to hear and you deal with the potential problem once they get there. It sucks, but everyone does it.
I'm a big time Illini fan and always will be. SLU has been and always will be my first team but I was excited to see Jordan deciding between my two programs. Yes, I know I should just pick one team but I just can't. Jordan would have done well at Illinois. I think he'll be a star at SLU. You guys have a stacked recruiting class as it is. It'll be fun to see his career play out. Hopefully we meet in the NCAA's soon.

Well that's cryptic
That's not cryptic at all.
Unreal
This is the unfortunate reality of big time recruiting in the age of shoe contracts and TV deals. There are back channels that allow money to flow without being traceable. Literally everyone cheats - it's just matter of degrees and budgets. If you think otherwise, you're naive. College basketball is a billion-dollar industry and the assets in the equation are generally poor inner city teenagers. Is what it is.

Yeah, you can't argue against family. And SLU is a good school. But saying he could have handled it better is putting it mildly.
Goodwin
I'm actually not suprised that he is committing elsewhere. I love his game, but we are so stacked at wings right now, and SLU offered something we weren't.

Goodwin says his decision came down to SLU and Northwestern. That's shocking to me

Happy birthday, Jordan....oh wait, that's in October.
Anyway, have a good time at SLU doing your thing.

Not real shocking. Joe Henricksen was touting NW weeks before the St. Lou smoke started. Even he's surprised at that.
Joe Henricksen @joehoopsreport 30m30 minutes ago How far and quickly #SLU and coach Travis Ford came in the recruitment of state's top senior, Jordan Goodwin, is pretty remarkable.
