BB Scout

Tatiana Ortiz could be headed to the Univ of Kentucky.

Sorry to bust your bubble but I am at least 99% sure Father "B" had his man in place before Brad was let go. It is my bet he's a proven veteran coach and will be a big name coach. I like Cuonzo Martin a lot. He was a great defender with a good stroke for the Boilermakers on a real good Purdue team. Plus he's a East St. Louis guy......

Impossible to see and cover this entire event with so many teams competing. I will try and see as many games as possible. Will anyone else be going to this tournament? See schedule below. http://www.visionsports.com/HKC/2007/brackets.html

Well, love him or hate him, he was a true throwback pioneer of the game. The SLU program game is where it is today because of the efforts of Brad. Hats off to Coach Soderberg and his departing staff. Everyone should be grateful to have seen Brad coach because he’s a fine young coach. I look for bigger and better results from this guy in the future. It just didn’t work out here at SLU because of reasons other than his coaching abilities. Good luck to him and his family and I hope SLU brings in a coach that can bring us a championship

I say first Loyola University Chicago, coach Jim Whitesell or then maybe Bob Marlin coach from Sam Houston State.

exactly my thoughts

Brad and all coaches.

Stay tuned.......

Quest, that's a good one my friend. I am still the head scout!

Just quoting what I heard. If indeed it is just a minor procedure, thats good for the kid.

I love it to. This kid is going to be something special when it's all said and done.

Word on the street is DB had knee surgery this past Monday and will be out 6-8 months. This is not good news coming out of the Billiken camp. Supposedly DB played this past season with a torn patella tendon in his knee and had surgery on Monday to repair it. Maybe that’s why his defense was slacking.....couldn’t move I guess. But thumbs up to Danny for gutting it out on a bum knee. This bad news also means that Anthony Mitchell from East St. Louis will see the court early and often next season. Mitchell will be needed and called on to replace DB. Strange how bad news can sometimes turn out to be good news as this is the case for Mitchell. I expect Anthony Mitchell to be star by his third year for SLU. I really like this kid.

The thing that pisses me off is that this story is really true. I heard about this personally from a contact within the team office. The one thing you don't want to do is destroy Ian's confidence so I say start him tonight, we need him. After confirming this story I have sent the AD office a email to complain. The truly sad thing about this is that from what I am hearing this is nothing new coming from Brad. Brad is a a good and caring person and based on my training and years of observing this type of behavior more than likely something traumatic happened at a young age and the cycle continues. I don't care about color, religion, political views or anything but just please treat everyone on the team the same in that situation!!! What Danny Brown did shows alot about that kid. That was brave and shows his toughness. That's something I didn't think I could ever say about anyone on this team. I have been so made about this SLU team I stopped posting here. DB is my new hero. It's about time someone confronted Coach. Leaving Bennett at the hotel was dead wrong. I found out Bennett is the only player on the without a roommate and he just over slept. Chances are if he would have had a roommate this would not have happen. Haven't we all done that a time or two before. My source tells me Brad was so pissed at Danny for calling him out in front of the team he turned red hot in the face. No one had at least on this team had ever confronted Brad like that before. I have kids of my own and I wouldn't want to see one of them left behind in that situation. What if something bad would have happen to the kid. How do you explain that to the parents....All it would have taken was waiting 5-10 more minutes to wait. Good job DB standing up for your teammate and DB was right, Coach would not have left Kevin, Tommie or even Luke behind like that!!!!!!!!

I agree with you all the way. Their is still time to turn this thing around if they start thinking team first and not I. Liddell is a fine looking player but he can not play defense and he dribbles to much. You have to keep the moving ahead of the defense.

This is not a good team.
