Dr. Cornelius Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 St. Thomas gets another 4-star (out recruiting KU this time). St. Thomas will be a contender in the Summit VERY quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORUTerry Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Must have really good recruiters. Have to think they are going after devout Catholic kids. Also not a lot of competition if players want to stay local. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keenan Henderson Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 They are blessed! St. Thomas only has the the Gophers as a D1 rival for the high school stars in their state and they cannot all go to the Big U of M. The state of Minnesota has had a lot of really good ball players in the last few years, including the number one player Chet Holmgren. Starting in year two St. Thomas will be a handful in the Summit League. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUTerry Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 According to this story, St. Thomas will be eligible for NCAA championships in the 2026-27 school year. So they will not participate in Summit League post season tournaments until then Link: https://m.startribune.com/st-thomas-championship-opportunities-will-be-limited-for-five-years/571796572/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleManiac Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Do they compete in conference tournaments then? What happens if they win the Summit tourney and then can represent in the NCAA tourney? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they won’t participate in any Summit post season tournaments that result in a NCAA berth until 2026-27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading now. So these 4 star guys are committing with the knowledge that the best they can hope for in terms of a post season is the CBI or CIT tournies? They must have some unreal recruiting talent on that staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORUalum Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 with NIL, all you need is a few deep pocketed boosters....not saying that's the case here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUJason Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 There absolutely are some deep pocket donors at St. Thomas. Lots of $ floating around the Twin Cities and the “Tommies.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
