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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

I would like to see Shirtz keep Harriman and have him look world wide for bigs who can shoot 3s and pass the ball.

IS makes the extra pass and doesn't bail on their offence.

That's how we ended up with Ford.
-
The other stats area that seemed to kill us was turnovers. Wiz can you say where we ranked in turnovers?

The last line pretty much summed up the season.

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.

Jimerson named 3rd team all-conference
Aquinas replied to billikenbill's topic in Billikens.com Main Board
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. -
2024 SLU Men's Basketball Head Coaching Search
Aquinas replied to thetorch's topic in Billikens.com Main Board
Mack would be a big statement hire. I think it depends in 3 major things. 1. What he is looking for in a school/conference. 2. What he will make. 3. How much NIL commitment there is. He will be very expensive and would require BIG donor commitment. -

I believe Coach Ford's plan for this season was premised on winning a championship last season. Then reloading on that success in the portal and maybe one or 2 good freshman. When last season's team fizzled, Ford was stuck selling only the success of Goodwin in the NBA and taking Yuri to national prominence. That wasn't and isn't enough to draw quick fix players. Now instead of coming off of a very disappointing season, we will be coming off of a disastrous season. It will take a LOT of NIL money to attract recruits to play for Ford. Its true that players want money, but they also want to dance.
