Listener of the Streets

Listener of the Streets (6/7)

  1. Don't steal other people's work and post it as your own.
  2. Walsh and Collins to a slightly lesser extent have a great relationship with the new staff and want to play for them. I expect if/when offers are made that commitments from both will be made immediately after.
  3. 6'11 All American who makes 50% of shots from catch and shoot & shoots 38% from 3. Yeah he sucks. Obi was drafted into an awful situation in NY and injuries have hurt him. He and Holmes are completely different players. I expect Holmes to be a solid big man in the NBA for years to come.
  4. Possibly but most certainly coached him.
  5. You know Dr Chaifetz is far from the biggest donor to SLU athletics correct? He also doesn't work in the offices and isn't privy to everyday business. He only knows what people tell him. This is why his son thought we were signing a guy from Army who was kicked out for cheating and not eligible to play for any school. Chaifetz also reports to Joe Conran on the BOT. Everything has to go through Joe. But keep going with your narrative that hides the fact that you supported a terrible coach and AD.
  6. What type of person is a "fan" of a college basketball CONFERENCE?
  7. Parker had some serious disciplinary issues with the team. Physical confrontations with teammates and staff. Sadly the Ford era brought a lot of these types of guys onto the roster. Isabel, Gordon, Santos, Parker etc etc. He wasn't coming back no matter who the coach was.
  8. Goodwin should still be eligible to sign a 2 way contract this upcoming season.
  9. A showcase true. Will this game help our chances to get in the Ncaas? Maybe, maybe not. Playing a 100-200 ranked team on a neutral site won't move the needle on selection sunday. We have to schedule to get us an at large bid. A neutral site game against a middle of the road WCC doesn't do that. If Santa Clara is a top 2 team in the WCC then maybe it helps us. Otherwise I'd rather play 80-100 other teams as a true road game. Does the committee give us extra points for this? SLU is on the bubble, but they beat a low major team in South Dakota on ESPN so lets put them in. That conversation isn't happening
  10. Yes!!! I say he starts at least some games for us. High level talent.
  11. Santa Clara is a team we could set up a home/home with. Ask yourself if we did that would that be good? I think most fans would take that deal but not be too excited about it. A neutral site game is a rare opportunity for us to get a P5 team to play us. ESPN wants us on TV to help launch the season. Tell them to give us a P5 opponent or at least a Mountain West opponent. A decent WCC team is someone we can schedule any time.
  12. Goodwin was a consensus top 100 recruit but not a national story when he signed. More of a regional big deal. Gordon even less so. He had been as a high as top 10 player earlier in HS but his rating had fell significantly and he wasn't being recruited at a high rate anymore because of all of his red flags.
