He may have also burned his best bridges in and around St. Louis...
In years gone by, SIU has won with tough players out of St. Louis & Missouri like Falker, Tony Boyle, and Tatum...(even though those were NOT Lowery recruits)..
But now, even those kids out of St. Louis that he had, like Booker and Roundtree - he's ripped them as quitters and ran them off.....
his roster next year for the first time won't have a Missouri kid, and won't even have a single kid from anywhere close to Missouri!
Now he's reduced to beating the bushes in rural southern Indiana for talent like Jordan Myers & Kendall Surles-Brown, and chasing tons and tons of juco kids and transfers.....
