BillsBeliever!!! Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 As a SLU fan, this is seriously going to show whether or not Ford can truly recruit... and it could completely screw up SLU As a Mizzou fan, I'm pumped... but sad for SLU This is not a bad situation though, knowing they both shouldn't suck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a SLU fan, I think Ford has a more solid rep than Martin, so I wouldn't worry too much. As a Mizzou fan, anything is better than Kim Anderson, who -- while I like him personally -- was overmatched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it not be a huge risk to add two coaches just for the sake of landing two big recruits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard he is looking for multiple assistant coaches with players attached. Just something someone told me so it could be completely false. But ya I agree that method seems sketchy.

Can one assume that Ford putting Tate on a 2year deal was foresight regarding the coaching carousel and realizing that Mizzou was going to make a change?

Folks let's all remember that Tate came to SLU so he could live with his family, instead of living 120 miles away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could, but it could just as easily be that Ford used the 2 year deal as a bargaining chip to get Tate to come to SLU, rather than to fend off schools that might try to hire him away.

RiseAndGrind Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Can we please extend Tate right now? There is about to be an arm's race and we gotta stay prepared. lets get that lounge/locker room finished as well. Let's have a kickstarter (kidding ... kind of ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't talk about just verbal recruits can you? BenFred of the post said schools can't put restrictions on player released from LOI so doesn't matter anyways as they should release him if he did sign since they fired the coach.

I've said for years that IMO one can not be a "fan" of two teams. Fan is short for fanatic Are you "fanatical"about both teams? I assume not. You especially cannot be a fan of two teams that compete for fans, recruits, donation money and media attention. You can however be a Mizzou football fan and Billiken basketball fan.
