Recruit

Recruit (1/7)

  1. I am sorry to hear about this for you all. As an SIU fan, I can relate having MAJOR defections in recent memory. Our heralded Top 25 in the country recruiting class of '08 went from 5 to 1, with several police interventions as well. This was looking to be a good season for you all, and I thought Rick Majerus finally had something going for you all. This is definitely a devastating blow that puts you all back at least 2 years but not decades as one poster said. Good luck this year, it is going to be rough. You all might wind up losing Majerus for this. As unfair as it is, head coaches get a lot of the blame for issues out of their control........
  2. Very sorry to hear this happen to you guys and to the SLU basketball program and SLU in general, but most important the victim herself. If the allegations are true, I think basketball is the last thing on the minds of the offenders. Best of luck, and I will be watching very closely.
  3. Not according to some on this board......to some it is just another game.
  4. The reason I posted what I did above was because of the statement that making the Sweet 16 isnt that big of an accomplishment, which is an absurd comment. I know it has been debated a number of times, but I truly believe SLU should be in the MVC. SLU-SIU would become a crazy rivalry, so would SLU-MSU and other surrounding schools. That being said, the A-10 has been higher in the RPI for conference, but what relevance does that make that SLU is better than SIU exactly? It would mean something if SLU was a constant contender, which other than the #4 see a few years ago, have been in the middle to bottom tier since joining the A10. Game results have been a result of the home court, but everything has to end sometime right?
  5. This may be the dumbest post I have ever seen on this board......I have played nice so far, but dont be an idiot.
  6. You realize that SIUE just went D1 right? How exactly has SIUE surpassed SIU?
  7. And the fact that we were up 8 w/ 4 minutes to go and did not score the rest of the game.
  8. I am hoping we can win tomorrow and get the St. Louis albatross off of our neck. How we lost that game 2 years ago I willnever know.......
  9. Who takes Willie's place if he cant start? I am not afraid of our guards, but down low is where I am concerned
  10. Actually we lost to UNLV on the road, and we should have won the game, but we went 5-26 from 3 point (sound familiar?)
  11. "Missouri has led the nation in meth lab busts for years, and Jefferson County has led the state. " But I thought Carbondale was meth capital of the world
  12. I actually graduated from SIUE and live in the Metro East, so try again.
  13. Please dont confuse SIU and SIUE. SIUE has a long way to go to have the tradition and success that SIU has.
  14. Where should I start with this? First, I am one of those "hicks" who lives in the big city, and there are a lot of us that come to the game that live in the St Louis area, so try again. I am always excited to see my Dawgs play, especially with Carbondale being 2+ hours away and Chaifetz being 15 mins away. Also, there are 2 threads on Saluki Talk dedicated to this, and since we havent had a game since lsat Saturday, this game is the next big thing. Sorry some of us are passionate and tried to stir up some convo on your board. You guys must not be as passionate as we are. I do like what Majerus has done for you guys, and Ellis will be huge for the team once he gets here.....its just a shame we wont be able to see him on Saturday.
  15. You must not pay much attention to the opponents you face then. This isnt the same Floorburn U that many people expect with SIU. We are a young team with 1 senior (who was All Big Ten 3rd team his sophomore year), and it will be really interesting to see how the Dawgs do on the road. I am really excited for the game!
