SIU got its first 2023 verbal today and it looks like a really nice one: a 6-5 wing from Vashon HS in St. Louis, Kennard Davis. He had offers from SLU, Bradley, Missouri State, UIC, Oral Roberts, etc. He's known as an athletic slasher and rugged defender. Looking forward to seeing how his senior year goes, but I could see him being the kind of kid who can contribute as a freshman come next season.
We'll see where the class goes from here, but a lot depends on how many seniors, if any, use their extra year.
