TFord and TRavs Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 The team posted a 2 min video of the new team practicing and shooting. It's feeling real right now and you can see how much of a difference this team is from last 3 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay. I counted. The video showed three jump shots going in. A bunch of nasty dunks (particularly like the French throw down) but only 3 jumpers. I'm not sure any conclusions can be made from 3 jump shots. Fun video yes. Conclusive no. That being said we already know we have long range jump shooters with decent collegiate track records in Roby, AD, Bishop, Johnson, Welmer and maybe Graves (small sample size). Looks like French is a lefty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobillsgo Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Is there any argument against this being our most athletic team ever? Or at least of the last 20 years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeseman Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 After watching a couple of these videos the thought crossed my mind - Have we ever had a coach get after on the court like Ford does? - I could see why the kids would like him - he can motivate it appears.

Romar and Soderberg would sometimes get on the court to demonstrate, but I don't think it was at that same energy level and consistency as with Ford (and the three would all have been around the same age during their time leading SLU). I assume Majerus did not and did most of his coaching from a chair. I had some opinions of Ford based on what I saw just on the court at Oklahoma State, but he has not been anything at all like those opinions. He really shows passion in all phases of the job that we really needed. It was obvious the players responded well to him (as are recruits) in a tough opening season that they fought thru and finished relatively strong.

That's what I thought too based on watching his teams at OSU. Too soon to say for certain, but I am certainly pleasantly surprised to this point.

Too soon to say for certain, but I am certainly pleasantly surprised to this point. Here's just one person's thoughts about what happened at OSU. While he was, and obviously still is, a good-better than average recruiter, he was recruiting against some big time programs and having to play those same big time programs. His recruits were good players, but no better than some of the other Big 12 teams, e.g. KU, OU, TX early on MIzzou. When faced with that situation his teams were good over a fair amount of time, but never a conference leader and that is what OSU and its Boone Pickens-funded program expected. Since he was getting a high level of recruits, the OSU world expected conference titles and deep NCAA runs. Since he couldn't do that (due to the level of competition in the Big 12) it obviously meant (to OSU supporters) he couldn't coach. I think he proved last year that he could game coach and it seems like he might also excel at player development, but we need to wait a couple years to make that player development judgment. In the meantime he continues to recruit really well and the better we do in the A-10, the better he will be able to recruit. As of now, I am more than happy with Goodwin, French, Gordon and Thatch in addition to the 4, 2016 transfers and this years Trs. Santos and Howard. The only possible downside to this year is the amount of time it might take all these new players to jell as a team. Given a couple of bumps in the road early in the season, I think by the end of the year we stand a good chance of winning the A-10 tournament. Otherwise, TF can't coach.

Watching this, a couple of things-French is going to destroy some rims while at SLU and it looks like the guy doing push-ups is Coach Tate-I'm sure the team got a kick out of that!

almaman Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 That's who I thought it was pushupping and indeed we have some monster dunks coming our way. Like how stretched out and charge conscious he looked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
