Torres Roundtree continues to gain notoriety as one of the top 200 players in the country.
Roundtree reopened his recruitment over the summer giving Saluki fans some reason for concern. Recently he recommitted to SIU, completing the best '08 recruiting class in the state, (Sorry Bruce) and with 3 players in the top 2oo, it's probably one of the best in the country. Roundtree talks about this and other topics in a recent interview with stlhoopsinsider.com. Below is an excerpt from the interview where he talks about is recruitment and his future at SIU.
Q: Was the short period where you reopened your recruitment a healthy decision for you? Is your verbal to Southern Illinois even stronger today?
A: The decison was healthy to me, but when I look back it was a bad decision. All and all, I'm a Saluki and I hope Saluki Nation is looking forward to having me.
Q: You have shown the ability to play the point guard position effectively. With your size and athleticism, you are also able to play on the wing just as well. What position do you expect to play in college?
A: I expect to be a combo guard, and probably do a lot of dirty work.
I'm sure Roundtree will be doing lots of dirty work (read: playing defense) and developing into an explosive offensive player in the college ranks. ...and yes, Torres, Saluki Nation is certainly looking forward to having you.
