I think the transfer market boils down simply to this. P5 schools lose way more players they don't want than players they want. Non P5 schools lose way more players they want than players they don't want. I agree overall it is a 1.25-1.5 advantage for the P5 vs a 5X advantage but these schools already have some many built in advantages. It's one more thing that makes the playing field completely untenable.

These are the rules of the board for 25+ years. When we post an article you have to post a link to it or have the author's name in it. This is no different than that. Content created by someone else, posted on the board without credit. This is akin to me copy and pasting some out of town writer's game preview and posting it on the board with no attribution. Wouldn't you think I wrote it? (Caveat maybe not me but someone on the board who is smart and articulate).

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.

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.

Possibly but most certainly coached him.

Observation from Down In The Valley
thetorch replied to MVP44MVC's topic in Billikens.com Main Board
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. -

A10 Players Portaling/Graduating (Underlined)

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. -

Jordan Goodwin Is Now A Memphis Grizzly

Goodwin should still be eligible to sign a 2 way contract this upcoming season. -
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

Yes!!! I say he starts at least some games for us. High level talent.
