Last season was tougher to stomach, and I was much more emotional about Billiken basketball in 2015-16.

This. If I say it like this do I not get the stink eye? Fine is basically a synonym for "doesn't move the needle"

I don’t think his local connections are AS valuable as they were 8 years ago. Again if it’s the difference between keeping a shooter like Gibson for a year. Good, okay. But it’s not anything to get excited about, even just based on it’s a retention not an acquisition.

I mean you have a personal connection to Tate. Seems like you're letting your bias get in the way. Excuse me that I'm not excited to keep any coaching remnants from the worst season in my lifetime.

If this is to keep Jimerson, great. But it doesn’t really move the needle in any other way.

It's going to be VERY interesting to see guys taking paycuts leaving college.

At this point, the whole model collapses. Title IX has to come into play?

Bro....same.

Are they improving? I see the same stuff from last year. The same cartoonish logo, the same uninspired half assed attempts at "fund raising". The lack of responsiveness, the lack of visibility. The only thing that's new is the website.

This is the problem. It should have dedicated employees, and it does not. They are winging it.

Yeah, I'm also gonna just need cliffnotes

Both were offered by old staff, but that doesn’t indicate consistent communication. I know Josh was recruiting them both at Indiana State. So there’s familiarity. I don’t know if he’s re-upped their offer with SLU.

Quoting this because it deserves to be posted twice.

Neither Zyree nor Walsh had any contact from Tate this past season. Tate leaving won't be the reason Zyree doesn't come here. Schertz has been recruiting both as I understand it.

This and pushing the ball up the court. I can’t stand watching the rebounding player look around for the “point guard”. All the guards should be outlets up the court and be able to advance the ball. Schertz teams play fast and don’t rely on a single ball handler to initiate sets.
