IF Is a conditional word. IF doesn’t happen then we’re back where we started. But if, IF does happen then we’d better have learned from our past mistakes.

If Schertz delivers the success we all want the Beast may become a real possibility, I’d see a renegotiation in his future if that were to happen. If we do land in the Beast, why would he want to leave unless some P5 makes an offer we just can’t/won’t match? I’m talking something north of $5mm. And unless I’m mistaken, there aren’t a lot of college hoops coaches making more than $5mm. There are FB coaches that make more than that but even then not all that many. There’s a lot at stake here for SLU, and I think the school has learned from its past mistakes. For those who may think getting in the Beast is not a big deal just imagine the crowds that would come when you’ve got schools like UConn, Marquette, X, et al coming to the Fetz every season. I think we’d make sure Coach Schertz is kept very happy and comfortable at SLU.

Success breeds success. If the Bills were to make it to the second week, I believe NIL $$’s will be there.

I’ll have to take in a few CofC games to catch Curcic and VanB. I wonder if they would have stayed at SLU if Schertz had kept Harriman.

Our starting 5 last year or ISU’s? Wouldn’t take much to be better than ours.

So in effect we plug in Gibby for Cornwell and Anya for Kent to recreate the ISU success story. Add with Swope and SLUAlcindor what piece are we missing. Is it Dotzler or Junior? If I were Thames, Junior, and Dotzler I’d be in the gym every day with that shot recording machine shooting 300-500 3’s a day. We should terrorize the A10. And there I go again getting carried away again. But you can’t deny Schertz is building his kind of roster. Who in the A10 is gonna matchup with bigs like Avila and Anya? Still worried a little about D but in Schertz I trust. Best I can figure out starting 4 puts up almost 60 ppg on average. Not many teams can say that. I welcome WIZ’s analysis of our latest addition.

6’8” 220. Can dunk over a trash bin! And coming from Brown probably going to graduate Phi Beta Kappa. Welcome to Team 314.

Can’t wait to see the student section on free goggles night.

JGood’s tough and a worker. He’ll end up somewhere. Plus there’s always foreign hoops.

As always, Just Win Baby Just Win!

Not really a PitBull moment.

Well, if our compliance dept is squared away I would think they’d tell Gibby you gotta take some courses. Suggestions: Pop Culture 101, Taylor Swift Music Appreciation, Pottery 101. Pilot Training at Parks. Plenty of ways to fill up his hours away from the Gym.

Only one mid listed. Yep, Zaga. I’m not sure what Houston is but they were numero uno. We got listed at #5 below the line, so ESPN predicts we are in top 30. Other below the line mid was San Diego St. I’m not going to get overly excited, yet, it’s heartening to see us listed after the last two seasons train wrecks. The hangover in 22-23 lingers. After all we SLU. But let’s go with the positive. Schertz has had an impact and am looking forward to Oct. One question; where did Caleb Love transfer to? AZ was listed in the top 25 but he was not listed as a starter. Curious is all. I don’t want him. Chemistry killer.

D worries me. A10 guards lick their chops when we’re their next game up. Remember Rick’s mantra Defend and Rebound. He got this from Al McGuire who said something like offense is like a flighty girlfriend. Hot and Cold. But D and Boards are the constants.

Good Morning America. Patriots will probably be dropped too. Just call them THEM. Gender Neutral.
