The 17U Brad Beal team will be interesting to follow this summer. They've got a lot of 2-3 star local guys (Collins, Walsh, Terron Garret, Nick Randall) and not as many 5 stars like Nick Smith, Brandon Miller, etc. They're really banking on the fact that Zyree is underrated because he's being asked to carry a heavy load. If that team overachieves it would be a pretty positive indicator for Zyree's ability in college.

Don't think we'd be able to lure Bucky away from his home turf and Moser seems to be staying for at least one more year. Loved Brey at ND but not sure he's the answer in the new era of NIL and portal. One of the low major guys would be the preference for me in that situation.

If I had to guess it would be that Tony Irons wants to make the jump to college coaching and that would be much more likely with Blake Ahearn at SLU. Rumor was he put his name out there for an assistant gig when Lindenwood went D1. Not like he has much left to prove at the HS level w/ their 5th consecutive state title last month.

The tempo they play at is a lot of fun…and if they can run this much on an athletic big 12 team then the A10 is in trouble.
-
The offense is the perfect balance of spacing and movement…the defense leaves a lot to be desired.

Believe when he was the head coach at Mount Brook HS he played some local teams in the City of Palms Tournament in Ft. Lauderdale. Pretty sure he was doing poker tournaments on the side to supplement his income back then. He's very into analytics, know he used to ban his teams from shooting midrange. Don't know if he's carried that into college.

Or intentionally not making the hire official until end of Summer so the coach can recruit free of rules and regulations the next few months. Tomorrow starts the first live period of the spring AAU session. Although think we all think our post savior will come from the portal and not the HS ranks.

2023-2024 Roster and Schedule

Agree with all of them except PG. I totally agree we need to move on from such a Yuri dependent offense but calling Hughes an upgrade is a stretch. He was never a PG in HS because of Rob Martin and the feel for the game for a true point takes a long time to develop. That being said, we all know that we had some atrocious decision making in the last 4 minutes of games from our guards last season. Hopefully Hughes having a more consistent 3 pt shot provides more spacing and counteracts some of his inexperience. -
History and Ranking of MBB coaches at SLU

His son is a soph guard at Vianney I believe. -
It seems like Brad Beal Elite has a connection with The Skills Factory where Zhang goes b/c Dez White (George Mason commit) transferred there from Helias. Think at least one of their returning 17U kids plays there as well. Wonder if we have the same connection?

OT: Does anyone know if SLU is requiring proof of vaccination for games this season?

Lot of talent on display at the Ramey league this weekend. Be interesting to see who stands out.

He played well at the Edwardsville Live Period event this weekend with Vashon. Vashon's depth is overwhelming and as of now them and Staley are the two best MO HS teams. Staley's two studs are definitely one to keep an eye on. Kayden Fish just got an offer from Xavier after mainly low major interest and Kyan Evans is a dynamic point guard. Jordan Pickett from Belleville East, Iziah Purvey from Webster Groves, and Bradley Longcor III from Quincy were other guys who stood out.

Believe he has a relative who played for UAB as well. Think Kramer is a more physical player than Crawford, he'll post up quite a bit for SLUH when the matchup presents itself.

There's an old coaching saying that they only make all 3 FT's 33% of the time. Obviously not very statistically based but if you take Wiz's 71.1% FT shooter you end up with a 36% chance of making all 3.
