Hawk Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 From Jeff Goodman's Twitter Southern Illinois point guard Kevin Dillard's considering the following 5 schools: Baylor, Dayton, Nebraska, Alabama and UTEP. It would be interesting if he went to Dayton... That way we could still beat him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JettFlight5 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Well, Floyd will come checkbook in hand...ask Rodney Guillory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udfan Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I hear we are one of the top teams under consideration for Dillard. I think he once commented that we were his second choice when he commited out of HS. I know he has had some issues with the coach/team, but I feel like our chemistry is stable. I wouldn't mind landing him as a transfer. We could be very solid, if not potentially outstanding at the guard spots with Staten, Parker, Dillard, Williams and Spearman.

Dillard is a talented player and would be a very good addition. He will do very well after he gets out of Carbondale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 Jeff Goodman saying that Dillard to UD. #SCOOP: Sources told FOXSports.com that Southern Illinois point guard Kevin Dillard will transfer to Dayton. http://twitter.com/goodmanonfox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 So he leaves a program because he doesn't like the style of basketball and decides to go to a school that pretty much plays the same way? This will turn out well for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last three years the have basically have played at the same tempo. We came in at 313. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udfan Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 We play at an average pace when you look at the entire game. If you watched the NIT run last year, you can see that we try to fast break off of any opportunity, but if we don't get numbers, we settle into a deliberate 1/2 court game that we weren't so good at last year. I saw some SIU fan on another board mention that we play poor defense or some such nonsense. I think Pomeroy had us rated as the 9th most defensively efficient team in the country at the end of the year, and we hovered around the mark all year long. I don't think we will be that defensively good next year, but by the time Dillard is available in 2011-2012, he won't see a lot of minutes if he isn't playing decent defense, IMO. That is Gregorys M.O. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is Gregorys M.O. dont worry about carbondale university's definition of defense. they get confused and sometimes think a good mix of rugby and back alley brawl is what qualifies as "defense".
