Jayson Tatum's dad, Justin Tatum, just won the state championship by defeating Jimmy Whitt (Mizzou offer) and Columbia Hickman in OT. Mizzou offer and miss and Texas commit, Jordan Barnett finished with 43 points. Not sure how hard Mizzou went after him, but another St. Louis kid.

ETA - First year coach wins state. Get him on staff and get his kid on campus.

I said this in jest, but more seriously, how often do high school coaches get an opportunity at the next level in college? At least as an assistant. Grawer comes to mind right away. Anyways, Tatum coached Soldan for 6 years, winning their first state championship in 30 years in 2012. Had gotten to the final four in 2010 and 2011. Left after that and I think they've had losing records since. Went to CBC and in his first year there, wins the state championship. If you had to say he had a strength, it's coaching bigs underneath. Not saying he's ready now, but maybe I am. He's admittedly young, but he's won everywhere he's been. He coaches a position that we need help in. He has a son that is an all-american. Would it be such a bad idea?
