Louie's quest for top ten

[usdlaw]

So how high will Louie get on the list. He is currently at 1,012 I believe, and based upon current average would finish the year around 1,150.

He scored 370 pts as a freshman
He scored 315 pts as a sophomore
So far this year he is at 327 pts, with a pace to hit somewhere around 465 on the year

I know there has been discussion on maybe redshirting next year so he can play for a possible tournament birth his senior year. I have no problem with that. And that shows how classy of a guy Boots is to do that.

I think he'll make the top ten, just a question of how high. It's hard not to bring it up when he scored 3500 points in high school, and now that he has hit 1,000. I think he'll have a tough time catching Turner, so I'm going to guess 4th all time. This is a great group of Coyote past, even being mentioned is a honor. I'm a huge Louie fan, hey I gotta support a fellow west river small town kid.

Good luck catching them Louie!

Nice post usdlaw. Good luck to LK!

Congrats to LK on the 1000 point club and his continued success. I will take a stab and guess he ends up at Number 7. Man, seeing Rosey name was a blast from the past. He was just a stud on some great teams. If I remember correctly he was a walk on from SC.

3 of the USD Top 10 career scoring leaders are from Sioux City Heelan: Tim Hatchett, Mike Graves, and Randy Rosenquist.

SC Heelan produces at least one D1 player each season. Hopefully USD can start pulling from that pipeline again.

Very true. Do you know if USD is going after Cougill? It appears that SDSU is watching him right now. Sorry about the tread drift.

[usdlaw]

Was Dylan Grimsley a Heelan kid? He is in #16 on the list. I just knew he was from SC. And yes, I think Rosie was a walk on.

Louie should make about top 25 by the end of this year. A full list of top 40 is below.

I wonder if Tommie King could have caught Hatchett if he played all four years at USD? Sorry my own thread drift. Just thinking out loud.

[Yote 53]

Grimsley is from Sioux City Heelan. Originalyy committed to UNC-Wilmington and transferred here.

We need to be looking at Cougill...but I am under the impression he is working out some grade issues and will be heading back to Iowa.

I know a few weeks ago Louie did a web cast with I believe the Argus and he was asked about red shirting next year. He said he hadn't heard anything about it. Has there been more talk about this recently from people in the program?

[usdlaw]

I didn't mean to imply it was happening. Boots just made the offhanded comment about it at a Coaches Corner/Lunch with the U type event. I can't remember where I heard it said. I was just stating it as a possibility rather than a reality.

tommie king was awesome, had a nice fadeaway jumper

[#1CoyoteFan (Admin)]

Hmmmm if they were to redshirt Louie I am guessing it would be because Boots would want him for the first year USD is eligible for the Summit tournament/postseason? Isn't that what NDSU did, get everyone ready for a magical run?

[usdlaw]

Yes, that is it. Reward him, as a senior, to be able to play for something. That was basically the comment and reason behind it. If it happens? And I think you are right, I think NDSU did do that.

Mr. Woodside and company, IIRC, all redshirted their first year to allow Tourney eligibility their senior season. Their tourney run was the culmination of years of development as a unit. That said, I just don't see Louie redshirting next season. We may not be tourney eligible next season, but we'll certainly have much to prove. Momentum is important, and I believe Coach Boots will want Louie on the floor.

[pierreyote]

I'm with Yotemeal. Would it be nice to give LK, or any player, the chance to qualify for the NCAA? Yes, but we also need to continue to get better and not take steps back. No offense but the current team's play does not illicit confidence that it can even make the Summit League tourney let alone win the tournament. I realize things can change from year to year but do we want to take one of our better players off the roster and somewhat tank next season just so he has a chance? Heck if we go that route we might as well also redshirt Westbrook and Andretti.
