I'm already looking forward to my 19th season as the radio color analyst for the Saint Louis University basketball team.
It will be interesting because of all of the young kids on the roster. Today, the "Billikids" added a new recruit in 6'0" combo guard Justin Jordan from Fort Wayne, Ind.
Jordan is a quick little guard who can score in bunches. He averaged 27 points a game as a senior in 2009. He will give our Bills another quick guard to go along with stellar freshman point guard Kwamain Mitchell.
With Jordan in the fold, SLU's new recruiting class is now at six. He joins 6'8" Cody Ellis, 6'5 Jeff Reid, 6'4" Christian Salecich, 6'7" Jon Smith, and 6'8" Cory Remekun in the Class of 2009. And remember, former McCluer North standout guard Femi John willl be a redshirt freshman next year, so that makes seven newbies.
They will join the "veterans" in junior guard Paul Eckerle and sophomores Mitchell, Kyle Cassity, Willie Reed, Brett Thompson and Brian Conklin.
The running count is now seven freshmen, five sophomores and one single, solitary, lonely junior.
It should make for some interesting times in 2010. It also should make for some good times as well because this nucleus will be basically together for the next three years to grow as a unit. That is exciting.
Can't wait to lace 'em up.
