In late January, it was hard to imagine recruiting inertia afflicting Hellems. In a packed Belleville East gym, he piled up 47 points to outduel Althoff’s former BBE teammate Jordan Goodwin in an instant classic that seemingly passed the baton from Jayson Tatum to Hellems as the Red Devils’ next star. Three days later, Indiana coach Tom Crean dropped by Chaminade’s practice to personally extend a scholarship offer.
Kim Anderson’s staff never showed interest. “Not at all,” Hellems says.

If nothing else, at least we are trying again to recruit the top talent in the state of Missouri. Also from that article:
Not only would the staff add a player whose stock is rising, but it would strengthen its pitch to 2019 recruits like Okoro, Liddell and Mario McKinney — components who could form the basis of another top-15 recruiting class two years from now.
Liddell and McKinney each made unofficial visits to Columbia in June, and Tilmon, a BBE alum, is already on the roster.
