"Brett Thompson, ranked No. 79 in the nation, is headed to St. Louis after considering Iowa State, Alabama and Indiana.

We got tight with Porter Moser because we went to Illinois State for an unofficial visit way back when. He got the job at St. Louis and Porter was real truthful.

Moser began forming his relationship with Thompson when he was the head coach at Illinois State. That relationship paid off under his new employer and now the Billikens own a commitment from a highly regarded insider."

So PM is recruiting better at SLU than at ISU??

Not suprising. SLU is a better school and a better basketball school.

so why do you suppose he dropped BU, or did Les simply stop recruiting him?
 
That's a good question, and info on recruiting is always the best kept secret, so we will likely never know.
But the very first mention that BU was even interested in Thompson, also notes that he was strong towards Saint Louis, and it appears he has always been leaning towards SLU.
The fact that the new coach there has done well recruitng big guys who end up in the NBA probably doesn't hurt.

My guess is that our coaching staff knew of his preferences and didn't spend a whole lot of resources and time recruiting the kid if he wasn't much interested in BU.
Why, tell us what you know about the kid? Was he considering ISU?
