New Offer: Matt Chastain

[swellafelon]

When I used the Voice Search app on my phone to google the subject of this thread, I got results for "Mattress Stain" instead.

NPI Urine Gone Refill, 24 oz. is $9.89 at Target.

Chastain makes Tribune's all-state third team.

This list is usually very Chicago-focused and larger school focused.

Chastain also came in tenth place for Illinois' Mr. Basketball with 26 points. Beating some impressive competition in Peoria Manuel's Damonte Williams, Curie's Devon Gage, and Lake Forest's Lorenzo Edwards. Charlie Moore won by a landslide with 221 points, with Fenwicks Mike Smith a distant second with 70 points. Still cool to see the small town kid get on a list filled with primarily Chicago hoopers.

He is visiting Illinois state today so that might not be good for us.

[Blurs]

He's already visited Loyola in the past so i'm sure he's going to look at other schools in the meantime. He previously stated that academics would be important to him, specifically he wants to go into business which should work in our favor. But it also depends if he wants to stay closer to home, which he may very well want to.

Would hate to see Illinois State get him after they came in so late during his recruitment. We were one of the few DI schools looking at him him for over a year (still didn't offer until recently though). He's got a nice upside and probably wouldn't be fun to face twice a year; but for now it may just be a visit. Time will tell.

I hope the recruiting trip included a visit to the downtown campus and maybe a lunch with a LU business ceo. We have to sell the whole LU experience until the athletic department can sell itself. I am not sure Chicago can sell itself anymore....not much good news from the city.

Pretty sure that would be an NCAA violation. If we do it, we could go to the Final Four!

[natetheskate]

Yeah but I guess my point is we have to use what we have to offer. Even a list of ceos who are LU alum and a tour of the downtown campus as well as LS... Course their is ISU and State Farm. NU really sells kids on preparing them for the future. They have a great program every year where they bring in alums from lots of areas who do workshops for the athletes as well as exposing their company's and providing internships. Jim Phillips is a sharp guy. Got Athletic Director of the yea
and I could be wrong Porter could be nailing it.

Hope Mr. Chastain is thinking LU...
I see a great fit here for him and nice lineup if he comes our way.
I saw enough in the ISHA games to think Matt could really be THE GUY for our
program and our program the fit for his future on and off the court.
Maybe we do a fly over Leroy IL pulling a Rambler banner behind the plane.
Just as a reminder.
When's the deadline for this stuff?

[natetheskate]

I do not think there is a deadline but a start line and I think that is April 13th. You can probably rent a crop duster near Leroy.
