Salukis get 2nd 08' verbal

[dogdays]

Scout.com is reporting that Torres Roundtree has made a verbal commitment to Southern Illinois. Rountree is a 6'3" 185 lb. combo guard.

[blueblood]

Best name since Hurlbutt from Shocker baseball.

[Canevision]

He's a solid player, MSU wanted him as well.

[Beary Hinson]

Roundtree is currently averaging a team-high 17.4 ppg and 6.4 rpg (2nd on team) for 19-2 McCluer North, currently the top-ranked large school team here in St. Louis. He led the team at 12.4 ppg as a sophomore last season. He was also being courted by MSU, Illinois State and Purdue among others.

Roundtree is one of three juniors on his team averaging double figures in points. All 3 are D-I prospects. At last check, 6-4 guard Femi John (15.5 ppg) was getting looks from Illinois State and UNI, as well as SLU, and 6-8 forward Anthony Booker (10.6 ppg, 8.6 rpg) was drawing interest from MSU and Indiana State.

Roundtree gets to the FT line, as his 93 makes and 142 attempts (64.3 percent) dwarf the rest of the team. Doesn't look like he's much of a long-range shooter, as he has made just 9-of-24 from beyond the arc. He has made 123 two-point buckets, however.

Solid get for the Salukis. His school is about 6 or 7 miles from where Darren Brooks went to school, so that's a plus.

What exactly does this mean?

Quote from Rivals article:

Along with his ability to play multiple positions, Roundtree's prowess as a defensive stopper was a mutual attraction between the two parties.

What exactly does this mean?

Hahaha....It means jack----. However he is a good player.

[Beary Hinson]

What exactly does this mean?
No real correlation. Just meant they're from the same neck of the woods, so if he turns out to be the kind of player Brooks was for SIU, then Saluki fans would be pretty pleased.

You have to go into game mode and manually change the settings. It is just assumed that SIU will beat CU!:lol:

Man if SIU has a whine button other MVC teams must have 8.

[3ontheway]

The whine button should be taken off, Weber left a long time ago. Instead should be a picture in picture option of CLO looking at the refs with a look of befuddlement and his hands out as if to say "You have'nt called that hack all game, why now?"

here is the CU bluejays controller

I was waiting for some one who had the time to do that....awesome....but you forgot the button to skip the dance every 2-3 years.

I love where this thread is going. I just bought my "I still H8 Cr8n" T-shirt from Pinch. I'll be wearing it on saturday, and probably not worrying too much about them on Sunday. Go Dawgs!

[3ontheway]

Good to see they took the extra t out of the verbage. That stuff can get tricky. Congrats to the geniuses over at Pinch.:lol:

Dont you mean H8t?

Lotta wits down their in ol' carbondump

[Aceman96]

Why would there be an extra T? Why H8t? I guess they musta changed it... but, yeah, now it says H8... the extra t would make the real word... Hatet... and, that's retarded.

[3ontheway]

Like I said, it can get really tricky.

I think he's making a reference to the previous shirts which said "I HATE CR8TON" which we Jays fans tried (unsuccessfully) to point out to Saluki fans was redundant. Clearly you would have understood but the masses couldn't.

[Aceman96]

Carbondump? Ah... clever... I didn't get it for a minute... cuz I is stoopid. Let's see if I can make fun of your town...

Oma-god-I hate this town-aha.
Oma-suck-aha
Oma-stupidpeople-aha.

Ok, that's run its course... I guess you lucked out with a town that no one can make fun of... or it's way too cool and nice. Glad there are NO losers there.

[barkeep1967]

Back on topic.

This is a huuuuuuuuuuuuggggggeeeee get for SIU. The kid had several offers and Missouri and Illinois were taking a look. He is a big Physical guard that can play the 1,2 or 3.


Here is the story.

Actually, the Dominate Creighton feature is integrated in the game BIOS and is automatically ran as part of the game boot sequence.:lol: No key or key sequence required!

That always cracked me up. Creighton fans who thought it would read Creight-ton as if you pronnounce two Ts in a row at tuh-tuh. Funny stuff.

Actually, it's you guys who crack us up. How about CR8N...saves a lot of room, says the same thing and gives you plenty of room to insult our players' moms.:no: :jays:

You talking about the SIU/Creighton game thread from the first meeting when some knob was making remarks about Korver's mom? That was some weak-assed **** and completely out of bounds.:ranting: :ranting: :ranting:

A 26 or so point beating in St Louis at a very critical point in the tourney final a couple years back. Why do you ask?

If you think this thing is going to go on forever, you are delusional. SIU may get the W since they're at home tomorrow. but four one point wins in a seven game streak is hardly dominating and the worm will turn - make no mistake, the worm will turn. :clap:

Yes, Lincoln Jay the almighty, the SIU string of victories over CU will eventually come to an end. I honestly don't think that it will be tomorrow, but one thing that will never go away is you bringing up that blowout game in St. Louis. We could beat you 2 or 3 times every year until the cow comes home and that game one game will live on in your brain forever. Just curious, didn't CU get knocked out in the round of 32 that year while the Salukis made it to the Sweet 16? Oh, never mind, let's not continously bring that up! :salukis:
