From the 305 to the 314 just like Mr. Worldwide Don't stop the parrrrtyyyyy

Exactly we need guys that are culture fits, if Avila knows him and likes his work ethic. Or a coach is familiar that matters. Can't be a C. Gordon with all the talent but a malcontent. We need guys willing to buy into a system, share the ball and play hard.

The good thing about Nitu going to FSU is we can get him to transfer to SLU next year after he's developed there for a season. Mr. Brightside

Also the start of Passover big day for everyone

Regarding Mari pause this video, posted by Torch, to his commitment thread, at the 41 second mark. It might explain his knowledge of Majerus.

Yeah I agree with this but does anyone on the team currently have + ball handling skills? We mentioned beating the press as a reason for a PG. It's best to beat a press with passing. But sometimes especially late game situations you need someone with traditional PG skills. Maybe Coach thinks we have enough. I'm unsure. I'd think we need 1 or 2 PGs. Then more front court players.

Just throwing out names because I think we need a PG, Alston Mason SMS is in the portal. 17.5ppg, 35% from 3, 3.5 ast/g From Overland Park, KS https://missouristatebears.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/alston-mason/7446

Portal ranking is tough and so new. Personally I think 247sports does the best portal coverage. https://247sports.com/season/2024-basketball/transferportal/ Regardless, of the ranking nice to see SLU getting top rated talent. It'll translate to some publicity and top 25 mentions. Also nice to see logical roster construction not last minute take what you can get, then surprise when no one is cleared to play.

Good point. I was thinking this is a NCAA team with 4 ISU starters and Jimmerson. Now I don't know yet. Going to depend on the quality of the transfers. Even then will they have chemistry.

The last sentence is an assumption and not a fact. If it comes true it is more applicable to football. We don't really know. SLU hasn't exactly been tearing it up since 1948 before NIL was a thing. So what are we really losing? But we need to find a way to be positioned for what's to come. College Basketball isn't going away. There will be CBB competition in some form. For the many posters that don't like NIL and all the money, maybe getting "kicked out of the club" gives them what they want. Sports without the influence of big money. I personally want SLU to compete at the highest level it can. So I'm accepting of the changes and willing to look for ways to exploit the opportunity. If the ACC goes away there's some likely shifts that bring opportunities.

Guess you haven't had ESPN for the last 30 years. Big schools, conferences were already driving everything, NIL or not.
