It's no wonder Coach Schertz's teams handle the ball so well and why his team free throw percentage is so high. He targets those abilities in the recruitment stage. Maybe not in every single player but in the overwhelming majority of them. This is the secret sauce of roster construction. Individual recruitment is in service to larger goals.

WELCOME HEAD COACH JOSH SCHERTZ!!

Schertz's resume supports his statement. He spent 13 years coaching in Division 2 at the same school. It's nearly impossible to last that long at a P5. If he's going to replicate that resume in Division 1, it will be at SLU or a similar level school. -
I think that's exactly what it is. There are MVC programs whose total NIL budget is under 100k. They have no hope of keeping a star player who is being offered 200k by a P5.

If Fletcher is healthy, he would be in the rotation on day one. I just don't think he will be healthy anytime soon. If he could rehab this year and be our sixth man the following year, that would be awesome. Fletcher could end his career on a positive note and possibly make SLU attractive to future Vashon recruits.

Sounds like coded language for Roddie (impact defensive guard), an end of rotation player (wildcard) and a big to be named later.

The 85/15 split already exists. And for good reason, the football expenses are that much higher. There are 85 scholarship players in football. Boosting the overall athletic budget will increase their basketball budget accordingly.

Considering the success Schertz had with Julian Larry, a 6-3 defensive-minded point guard who didn't produce much on offense until last year, coach is sticking with that blueprint. Dotzler and Anderson appear to be from the same mold. If it ain't broke, why fix it?

When an offensive minded coach who understands how to construct a roster is doing so, I just watch and learn.

Based on all the players they have returning and the addition of a former player who averaged 15 points a game for them 2 years ago, Santa Clara will be a preseason top 50 team. It's not a sexy matchup but it is a potential Quad 1 opportunity.

MBM expectations are what they are. We always think we're better than where we're picked in the preseason. That's why we're MBMs.

Jordan Goodwin Is Now A Memphis Grizzly

Even with the best coaching in the world Goodwin is still basically the same player he was when he left here. Free throw percentage is just a little higher. And we know he's put a lot of work into his game. We're always looking for somebody to blame when players don't make dramatic improvements but dramatic improvements are the exceptions, not the norm. -
I think the addition of two rather than four returning starters extends the honeymoon period for Coach Schertz. Four returning starters plus Jimerson is a preseason top 25 team because of all the known factors. Expectations by local and national media would be through the roof. Two returning starters starters plus Jimerson plus a couple of solid pieces from the portal is a team that will be projected as top four in the A10 by the preseason outlets. Two very different situations.

I have. A handful of mid-majors have struck gold. Everybody else has been struggling in vain. Now we've finally reached the point where the big boys officially kick us out of the club. -

Memphis has a football team. I agree that all the football teams are in the nil race. I don't agree that everybody else should be. -

I'd estimate that less than 10% of D1 programs are defined by the greatness of their sports teams. So that 10% should define how the other 90% operate?
