Not sure what to make of that. Perhaps the MVC teams can't compete financially to hold onto their players as well as the A10 and other higher ranked mid-major conferences that may have more NIL resources.

I trust Schertz will not take him unless he is physically able to play close to his former level. I do not know anything about the young man's demeanor, but trust coach will also only take him if he fits the team's chemistry. Given his recruitment history, he obviously can be a big plus if healthy. Interesting read on all his injuries ...... https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/lsu-forward-angel-reese-boyfriend-cam-ron-fletcher-s-injury-and-current-health-condition-explained/ar-AA1l6zt5

Well I was a Ford supporter who got on the dump Ford train late. One thing I disliked about Ford was his apparent dislike for playing 2 Bigs at the same time. I think that ends with Schertz. I see a lineup of Avila, Swope, Jimerson, Casey or Anya, & Dotzler/Hughes/or PG or CG still to be signed. And would love to see Swope and Jimerson pushed hard this Summer by players hungry for playing time. Needless to say, looks like this team will have a very solid, competitive and sizable rotation this season. Summer workouts should be viciously competitive.

LOL .... And I suppose you are a big time coach or something.

Well if SLU doesn't have Schertz locked up already and he doesn't become the SLU coach, then May is an idiot. You don't "sit on your hands" for 2 weeks waiting for Shertz if you don't pretty much have a sealed deal ..... so I think Schertz is already signed.

Mid-Major Coach of the Year ... https://www.wrtv.com/sports/college-hoops/indiana-states-josh-schertz-named-mid-major-coach-of-the-year

They are pulling those rumors from their buttholes. I hope a couple players come with the new coach, whoever that is ..... but I don't believe anything these days until it actually happens.

Well, yes, would love to get him back to SLU. But an advanced degree from a top business school like Northwestern would look nice on the resume.

Swope is a 5'10" PG. Not a swap for Gibson Jimerson.

Maybe

I too hope if Schertz is hired, a couple of his players come with him. But to think the whole starting five comes is very, very unlikely.

Not as high level as I expected .... no A10 team interest?

Odom took two of his starters with him from Utah State to VCU.

You ever think that just maybe a contract is already signed with agreement it starts after the Indiana State season has concluded? That's my guess.

It makes perfect sense to me that a deal may be in place, but will not be announced until Schertz's current team completes its season. For Schertz or any dignified coach, that is the right thing to do IMO.
