Anthony Slack is

[LincolnJay]

Arbry Butler, Wichita State
Bobby Hill, Illinois State
Jordan Eglseder, N. Iowa
Kenny Lawson, Creighton
and #1 is Osiris Eldridge, Illinois State

Isaac Miles (Creighton) knocks Butler out of the Top 5.

Here is the final Top 150 from Rivals--

http://rivalshoops.rivals.com/viewrank.asp?ra_key=1428

Osiris Eldridge is ranked #137, but the top ranked MVC recruit is Isaac Miles at #132. That appears to give Creighton 2 of the top 3 MVC recruits. They also signed the top scorer in Iowa. I would have to give the title of "Top recruiting class in the MVC" to Creighton. It could still change pending several schools still recruiting.

Creighton is not done.

speaking of that final rivals top 150, anyone notice that Scheyer dropped to 71, behind Beverley who finished at 65.

Can Anthony Slack still be growing as a 20 year old juco transfer?

All the press that accompanied his transfer to ISU listed Slack as 6'7"

Now Porter Moser says he is 6'8"
" Anthony Slack is a long 6-foot-8 rebounder..."

PM also mentions Osiris and Hill almost only as an afterthought.

I think some are forgetting just how highly regarded a recruit Xavier Crawford is.

Xavier Crawford is a 3 star (out of 5) on Rivals.com, with Michigan and Providence as schools BU beat out for him. 3 stars puts him on par with Eldridge as far as the rankings go (recruits from 100-150 are 3 stars). He is also a 3 star recruit (out of 5) according to Scout.com. Eldridge is also a 3 star recruit.

I'm not trying to belittle Osiris Eldridge as far as the caliber of player he is. I wanted him very badly to choose Bradley. If anything, it shows that there is some serious talent coming into the MVC this year and in the future, especially on I-74. Crawford just seems to get bypassed in a lot of these conversations as a big-time recruit.

In case no one has seen Xavier Crawford, here are some pictures.
