Freshman (2/7)

  1. Thank You very much Mr. Yankee. Much Appreciated!
  2. Rob Jeter - http://uwmpanthers.cstv.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/jeter_rob00.html so it goes.
  3. You pointed out a possible problem with Barnett not starting, but you did not point out the solution! Replacing WHO in the starting lineup? Typical Billiken.com response, no solution. Reminding you, this is the starting lineup at the beginning of the season. Mitchell and McCall, extremely quick guards that will raise hell on defenses, Evans? Conklin? WHO? Answer the question. so it goes.
  4. Yes, Yes, Yes!!! Let's spend a lot more recruiting efforts (costs and time) on Australia and New Zealand not too mention playing in some tournament down under when there are plenty of tournaments in the Northern Hemispere where toilets flush the correct direction. Our Billiken presence needs too be established in the good ole USA, Coach will be gone in 2 years and so will down under. so it goes
  5. Not much new in this evenings interview which was pre-recorded. There were some things that were "between the lines" type of things. These were strictly "between the lines" type of comments but when you couple them with Triangle's superb interpretations you will draw on your own conclusions. The vacant coaching position will probably not be filled untill late May. Coach is looking for someone who 24/7 is committed too SLU basketball. If someone needs too shoot 500 shots on a Sunday afternoon, that coach needs too be there (Too could fill the bill here). Jim Crews doesn't think he can devote the extensive time that the Coach is looking for. Discussed Coach Whitesell as an excellent X's and O's coach. Did not dismiss promotions. Triangle thinks that for this year, promotions are in order with a hiring on the lower end of a strong juco recruiter. Coach went at length about trying too recruit players in the Atlantic 10 (a lesser league) a real hassle. Talking about the SLU education and being able too play in his rotating system rather than sit on the bench with much fewer minutes does not seem too mean anything too recruits. Talked about European playes, Australian players, and a player from Tenn with 2 scholarships available. Pretty much said that Mitchell and McCall will be the starting guards with chances that McCall being the better shooter with defensive attention being focussed on Mitchell which Triangle agrees. Singled out Loe as being huge next year with his extreme improvement in workouts. Jett and Evans are becoming stronger in realizing their roles, Triangle needs too see Evans in the 12 foot shot. Triangle's much earlier prediction of the starting five seems too be intact with Mitchell, McCall, Loe, Evans and Conklin. Coach did not mention Barnett or Cassity. so it goes.
  6. Hey - Triangle just does not understand the Porter Moser thing. He interviewed for a head coaching job last year. People need too move on and expand their horizons in recruiting beyond the local and Chicago level. Who knows what is in the recruiting efforts (national (including jucos) and international). Did Coach Stevens get the top recruits in Indiana? Coaches want too move up as quickly as possible, Porter did that after several years of trying - good for him. Triangle personally doesn't care where the players come from as long as they are student/athletes in the proud SLU tradition that form a cohesive competitive unit until their season is over. With Coach Majerus leaving after this contract expires, the most important thing is the hiring of a "head coach in waiting" (not Porter Moser). so it goes.
  7. Absolutely nothing about the basketball program. It was mainly a promo of the upcoming "Get With the Game" program on the 27th too benefit women athletes in the business school which Billy Jean King will attend. AD May said he feels that SLU has the best urban campus of any D-1 school. Also stated priorities - 1. Too give student/athletes the best of educations. 2. Complete at all highest levels. 3. Help the community. Mentioned the baseball team. I guess he doesn't realize where the interest lies - and neither did any questions directed towards AD May by KMOX. so it goes.
  8. Too be on KMOX shortly. Left too right on your radio dial or right too left depending on which way the radio or you are facing. so it goes.
  9. Triangle supports the troops - Too is an ex-troop. How many Billiken.com posters are ex-troops? so it goes.
  10. Interesting last paragraph Clock. You just can't let a coach go intoo his last year of a contract - especially with Coach Majerus's age and health concerns - rival recruiters will just KILL YOU. There is no doubt in Triangle's mind that Coach Majerus wants too coach (until????)(see what happened with Coach Stewart and Coach Olson in later years). Our program will be in a very difficult decision time on this matter this upcoming year. Our program seems too be in a wierd influx at this time as far as coaching and more important recruiting. (Most important things - recruiting, scheduling, recruiting, in game coaching, recruiting). Some people haven't addressed the graduation rate problem under Coach Majerus but it IS with Father Biondi with the player transfer rate of his recruited players. A possible solution too this mess could be a 2-3 year extension of Coach Majerus's contract with a stipulation that a "head coach in waiting" be hired. Historical past hirings of our coaches is at this time irrelevant - this next hiring, when it comes in the near future, and it will, WILL BE HISTORIC. Win basketball games, recruit players who graduate (not transfer) that is why you go too the bank Coach. In closing Clock - Father Biondi deeply cares about this program - you been too that beautiful new arena? why would it be there? so it goes. so it goes.
  11. Of course we will all not agree too disagree on this board on things according too Coach Majerus - facts. 1. Coach Majerus signed a 6 year contract in May of 2007. 07-08, 08-09, 09-10, 10-11, 11-12, and 12-13. 2. The signing of Coach Majerus at a very large salary was announced by Father Biondi with the expectations of raising the program too a "Top 50" status. 3. Coach Majerus will be 64 years old this next season and has had long term health concerns. 4. The first year is out the window in learning a new team, this last year was out the window because of idiots. 5. Coach Majerus is his own man - Father Biondi is his own man. Now here are Too's Takes: 1. The gap between Father Biondi and Coach Majerus has widened. Father Biondi is extremely upset about the "incident" and the character of players and what happened. (Graduation rates of SLU student/athletes). 2. Communication between Coach Majerus and AD Chris May are basically on a procedural level and not on a basketball program developement level. 3. Coach Majerus's age, contract and health concerns are working against recruiting efforts, for future years. a. Also his "one way" style of play. 4. Expenses and taking second hand knowledge of "down under" players have proven fruitless. FINAL Triangle speculations: 1. If Coach Majerus's contract is not extended this year, it will extremely effect recruiting, it may have already. 2. If our Billikens do not reach the NCAAs this upcoming year, he will be let go and payed off - Mr. Chaifetz may be a real concern in this decision. so it goes.
  12. Great post Box. Bill Dewitt realized that things weren't going well in the draft and player developement (they were bad). Things needed too change and Walt's ego wouldn't compromise - goodbye. Walt's true accomplishments with the Reds won't be realized for 4-5 years. So far he may pick up the Cairo and Edmond type players. so it goes.
