Most of the actual contributors from this team are coming back, and you add Gordon, Thatch, and Pearson. While this year hurts for everyone involved, why the gloom and doom for the long term outlook of the program?

if any starters come back, I’d call it a miracle.

 Next years team will be radically different.

Wouldn’t make a lick of sense for Foreman  to transfer, coming off a below avg yr. JJ can shoot but is otherwise limited. Bess could transfer but he would be transferring out of a situation where he’s the go to guy. I expect them back. Add Santos, Gordon, Thatch, and Pearson, looks good actually, just nit what it could’ve been next yr. However it opens up scholarships for a couple Juco guys, maybe a grad transfer. If Mo State can land a guy like Alize Johnson, Ford could have success adding some Juco guys.

SLU is no longer a good landing spot for junior college players, since the NCAA changed the rules that requires juco transfers to have completed certain requirements toward their major at the four-year school they're transferring to.  Many of them major in physical education, which SLU doesn't have.  Has SLU landed a juco since Barry Eberhardt?  What was that, 11 years ago?

You know how I know you’re not a billiken fan? Because you clearly haven’t watched a single minute of DJ this year.

I agree with your optimism.  Thank you.

I think the coach was talking about other teams that they have played, in general, not specifically the Billikens.

The other thing about that paragraph is that I have heard TF say exactly the same thing after a Billiken loss.  It must be coach-speak.
