Decommit  Simeon Wilcher from North Carolina is said to be visiting St. John's.  46th ranked 2023 recruit by 247.  Think he would be a great Indiana fit.  6'4" combo guard.

I agree that he would be a great pickup. I'm not sure IU can offer him what he's looking for, though. He's listed as a CG but wants to primarily play PG and, of course, to play a lot of minutes at that position. I don't see any way he beats out XJ for those minutes.

At UNC, he was probably going to be the starting PG with RJ Davis playing the 2, or at least get plenty of minutes at that position. He decommitted from UNC not too long after a 5* PG reclassified to '23. So it's seem clear that he really wants to play the point more than as a 2 even though he's listed as a CG.

Don't lose sleep over this one if we stay on the sidelines.  And "great fit" may not be the case from other aspects of Wilcher.  After he announced, Armando Bacot tweeted that he couldn't stand the grind.

At this point with workouts started I genuinely don’t care if they fill the scholly or not. Short of a perfect fit, a1 year shooter like Reeves, I’d be excited to roll with this team, as is.

If Wilcher couldn't stand the grind with Hubert Davis, not sure why he'd visit St. John's.

T.J. Moss about to get his sixth year and fourth different team.  Played three years at South Carolina (first year only played 7 games because of injury which makes him eligible for medical waiver), one year at McNeese State, and one year at Detroit Mercy.  Entered the portal today.

I'd take that comment by Bacot with a grain of salt. Comes off as sour grapes, especially since this guy wasn't even on campus yet.

Maybe referencing some stuff only UNC insiders would know.  But I'll stand by my comment that I don't think you'll see us jump in to his recruitment.

Agreed. 

I could easily see Reeves or Hart, but not Wilcher.

I don't think so either based on him wanting lots of minutes as a PG which IU doesn't have available at this time. 

I just don't put too much stock into a butthurt Twitter post. It is really a similar post to ones that fans make when recruits go elsewhere. "We didn't want him anyways. He's not that good/has poor work ethic/no motor/etc." For a 5th year senior, Mr. Bacot has some maturing to still do.

I thought TJD taught Bacot last year that he had some growing to do? Lol
