[QUOTE="SLU83, post: 1225988, member: 607336"] 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. [/QUOTE]
