Junior (4/7)

  1. The value of Curcic, is he shoots well coming off the bench. Our bigs don't shoot 3s, so the 5 out offense turns into a 4 out offense. One of the things that make Avila so effective is that his defender has to come out of the paint to guard him, or he will drop a 3 on them. When his defender comes out, it opens s up the lanes for cutters. Its beautiful. But it does not work with a big that can't make 3s. I dont think Schertz will settle for players that can't play his system. I think in today's game, you tell the players that you are not likely to see the floor and they will leave. Indiana State is a super disciplined team. The Bills have been very undisciplined. The culture is about to change.
  2. It seems that Schertz has a well defined system and recruits to it. His system seems based in analytics, so he likely is evaluating every potential player that way. He will probably reach the same conclusion as the Wiz. Thanks Wiz. The ground is changing under the feet of our current players.
  3. I dont know anything about Mugassa shooting. Brad is definitely not a stretch 5. I dont see him fitting at all. I wonder what his computer will say if the Wizz asks Ehat current Billikens players fit Schertz system?
  4. Here are the steps that I think have transpired. SLU tells Ford they are cutting ties 3 weeks before it is announced. At that time, they hire a search firm to see if any of the coaches on SLUs list have any interest. = SLU is interested in talking to SLU Schertz and he is interested in SLU. Talks progress, there are interviews and discussions about salary, contact and NIL commitment. At some point there is a meeting of the minds and Shertz committs to a contract. That was probably before selection Sunday. SLU needed a contract in order to wait for his season to end. They offered what it took to get the agreement. The contract has a buy out, so Schertz was, and probably is, able to exit the contract, but it has a significant buy out. The buy out is too steep for Indiana State. No way SLU made an offer, and Shertz gets to make up his mind at the end of his season as to staying at ISU or leaving. If he goes anywhere but SLU, SLU gets paid. A school like Louisville probably has the money to pay the buyout. Bottom line, it's a done deal, unless a deep pockets school and Shertz decide to dance, AND SLU gets paid.
  5. It makes sense that the Bills wanted an agreement before IU's season ends and paid what it took to make it happen. You don't just walk away from the consequences of breaking the contract. I'm still trusting that we still have our coach.
  6. I can't imagine Schertz talking to any of his players before this is announced. So my view is that any of his current players joining SLU, is pure speculation. That said, this could be the perfect storm. The key players are not seniors, transferring is easy AND SLU is rumored to have NIL money. The players get to step up in conference with their coach, in the system they flourish in and get paid. Otherwise transferring is risky business.
  7. While we are speculating, it could be that Schert has come to an agreement with SLU, but doesn't want it announced until after the last home game. It makes sense that he wants the last home game without distraction. At the same time, he knows that extending the announcement hurts his new job.
  8. I would like to see Shirtz keep Harriman and have him look world wide for bigs who can shoot 3s and pass the ball.
  9. IS makes the extra pass and doesn't bail on their offence.
  10. That's how we ended up with Ford.
  11. The other stats area that seemed to kill us was turnovers. Wiz can you say where we ranked in turnovers?
  12. The last line pretty much summed up the season.
  13. I am not sure about Parker. He is a gifted scorer, but poor defender. When I've seen him on the bench, he seems disinterested in the game. I dont recall him celebrating teammates making big plays.
  14. I'll disagree on the ROI. He is a record setting reason to watch the team, on a team that doesn't have much to watch. His super quick release is beautiful and rare. I hope he is back next year.
