Alright enough with the stuff about French NBA players it has littler to nothing to do about Bourgault. Let's keep it on topic please

Of course it does. 

How because every kid from France is comparable in basketball? What does how good of a player Tony Parker is have to do with Bourgault?  Listing every nba player from France has no relevance to st. John's recruitment of this player.

I don't want to start a war but since I posted the list of French players I think it is very relevant.  It's kind of like if we went after a 6'5 PF and we listed 6'5 players who played PF and how they succeeded.

I know if a perfect world you'd like every thread to stay on topic but thread will naturally run off course.  The best part about this site is knowing there is a thread on Bourgault and if news on him comes up everyone knows where to post it.

“@AdamZagoria: #stjbb has offered Marco Bourgault, a 6-6 shooter from Monroe (NY) College, and remains in very strong position.”

Sanchez roommate

Position:
Height: 6-6
Class: Sophomore
Hometown: St. Malo, France
High School: Notre Dame Prep HS

There are many dimensions to Marco’s game, but the facet that stands out the most is his ability to shoot the basketball and for a player his size, that’s impressive.   He also has what Coach Brustad likes to call a “high basketball IQ” which backs up his variety of skills, including getting to the basket on the drive as well as shooting from the outside.  In addition to his experience in basketball, he’s an accomplished swimmer and soccer player.

So I'm guessing he was better than parga. But Carlos Morris?

Good fall back position for Morris or enticement for his roomie, Sanchez?

The more I try to anticipate the more confusing the recruiting merry go round becomes. So I'm on cruise control now and just going to enjoy the ride

Haven't a few posters gone to see Monroe play this year?   Moose didn't you go to see Sanchez?
What did Bourgault look like in person?

Like the Eric Hayes comparison

Lavin being worldly. Mary Loves Paris. There are a ton of great french restaurants in NY and easy flights to paris and we have a campus in paris.

Hmmm

this team

Nicolas Batum
Rodrigue Beaubois
Boris Diaw
Ian Mahinmi
Tony Parker
Johan Petro
Mickael Pietrus
Kevin Seraphin
Ronny Turiaf

would win quite a few NCAA games

Nice stroke on his jumper.  Looks like a pure shooter.

I know clips are meant to only show highlights of players, but he reminded me of the guy on St.  Mary's, who torched us last year with those wide open bombs.  Marco does seem to have more ball skills than that guy.   

Do you think STJ is trying to land Morris and Bourgault?  Or is the scholarship going to go to whomever signs first?

Good question

We could take both.  We were woefully short this year and we could be losing Moe.  There still won't be overcrowding.  Can't have too many shooters.
