Recruit

Recruit (1/7)

  1. Dear ’05, Although we are daily readers of the blog, over served, seniors, and have been to as many games as our lives would permit, being as rowdy as was appropriate… and often very inappropriate, we have not yet met. We respect all that your bring to Billiken Nation. What we are asking for is simple: we want to help bring the flags in to the arena. We heard that you are the guy who coordinates the whole process and knew no other medium by which to get in contact with you other than Billikens.com. Billikens basketball has meant more to us than anything else in our college careers… including our general education. The sacred right of bringing in the flags should not be taken lightly. If you want somebody who would casually wave around the flag like a middle school marching band… we are not your guys. If you want grown men in white women’s leisure suits who, upon the last fleeting minutes of their lives will reflect on their time carrying out the age old tradition of SAINT LOUIS flag carrying... WE ARE YOUR GUYS. We understand if you don’t see this or have no control over the situation. But if you do, know that it would make our fleeting time here complete. Whether you see this or not… fate will or will not bring us together. Ad Majerus Dei Gloriam DAGS’12 and Billsfan’12 file:///Users/jaredfechter/Desktop/IMAG0241.jpg
  2. I hadn't seen any topics started about it yet but maybe I was mistaken. Does anyone have any information as to whether the Dayton game will be on T.V. or streaming anywhere?
  3. I'm so pumped to see this game. I have heard a lot about the pit and you tubed a little about it. It seems they get pretty personal in their jabs against players. A simple google search for the Lobos would give some pretty good ammunition against a certain leader on our team. I am almost excited to see it. KM will probably face a lot of adversity from opposing fans... but of anyone on this team I see him just saying, 'Alright time to put the team on my back and go ham'. This is the first real legitimate road game with a crazy crowd we will play and I think our boys have been coasting and are down to go hard. I'm so pumped. KM 30+ pts Win by 12
  4. I hope Oklahoma kills them, and then we beat a Big 12 team by over 10. That would just be awesome.
  5. I have been a Bills fan for my whole life growing up in St. Louis and going to games with my Grandpa, who's had season tickets for 35 years. Now I am a senior here and have watched this team develop and always knew we had so much promise. I am so so excited that we are finally getting national attention. I am just desperately pleading to the basketball gods to let our boys take this national praise and use it to rise up to their fullest and dominate instead of crumbling under the pressure. We are holding them to higher expectations than ever before, which in so many ways is just awesome. What a great season this will be. I'm going to chalk a noticeable drop in GPA to Billiken success. How I am supposed to write a research paper and study for a test tomorrow when the Bills are getting so much love. We may need to brew some more Billiken Kool Aid and clear some room in the bandwagon and make room in the Fetz for the rest of Saint Louis.
  6. Can someone explain what year these recruits are, when they would be coming in and what not? I was under the impression we will be losing 2 and gaining 2 for next year. Is someone else leaving or are these guys for 2013? Also, if Fotu signs, I'm proposing a mandatory rat tail shaving upon arrival in the USA.
  7. First time I ever got to heckle a player in German, and I loved it. But I must say, I wouldn't be upset if Breunig was a Billiken. He looks like a pretty good talent.
  8. I don't know a ton about the coaching staff and I know some people on this board have mentioned that it will hurt our recruiting with new, older guys. However, when thinking in a present POV, these guys have been around the block. For a team that already has so much promise, its great that you have other coaches that have that head coach mentality and know what needs to be done. I heard from one of the walk-ons, who said Crews is just a tough dude who doesn't let any bogus happen. He worked under Knight for so many years. It could be a great attitude and intensity to bring to the bench. Whitesell looks like a pretty mild mannered guy who does a lot of instructing on the court. RM just sits in the corner, buddha like and concentrates on all the strategy of the game. I'm just saying they seem to be a good compliment of styles along with a ton of experience, that not many mistakes are going to go unaddressed. I would love to see some of these guys take extended contracts for recruiting, but I am very confident they have more than enough to get the job done this year.
  9. Not anything too important to report from Fan Fest. KM was out pretty early with a slight injury but seems to be fine. BC and KC had night class. I have to say I am so excited about this years team. Everyone looked healthy, fit and ready for a great season. We are so deep. I think the reason there were not too many glaring observations is because for every offensive player there was a close to as good defensive player guarding him. My friend and I were debating who the starting 5 would be and we never really could figure it out exactly because our 6,7,8,9 men are just so solid. Here are some thoughts.. Dwayne (RM keeps calling him Johnson) Evans- is going to be a beast. Is going to dunk all the time. I'm saying possible 3rd or 2nd team all conference. KM, MM, JJ- going to be one of the deepest set of guards in the conference. They just take it to the hole whenever they want. JB- I think will turn it up later in the season. Has been out of playing attitude for a while but has a lot of promise. Needs a little more killer instinct from what I saw in the scrimmage. RL- Looked very fit and I think is going to improve dramatically this year if he can consistently hit that 3 ball. I think the coaches should prepare like 10 hours of Dirk game film and just tell him to model his game after him and he could be a heck of a player. He still needs a better back to the basket set of moves. JM- Will be a good compliment to Loe because he is a similar build but plays like a classic 5 man. Will probably be able to teach Rob a few things in that department but probably will not make a big impact early. The Greek- didn't look half bad but I expect the least from him of anyone. GG- Just a goof but I think will bring a muscular, bruiser, tough-guy presence to the team that we needed. Will get so many boards. However, it may take years to develop some skills. CR- Looked more athletic, muscular and assertive than last year. I think this may be a good year for him where he starts to be a leader. Maybe not a huge dominant force but good enough that you can't leave him unguarded. Probably going to throw down some filthy dunks as coach said he had a 30 inch vertical which doesn't hurt. CE- Looks healthy and made a few good plays. Still needs to play more assertive and aggressive so I'm not sure about him. But, if he played with the fire he did freshman year, he may be an off the bench player, and that is a heck of a sub to throw in. Not sure if I'm missing anybody but... Go Bills. I'm well hydrated off that blue cool-aid. Its going to be a great year.
  10. Haven't seen this video posted yet of drew, but he seems like a solid get to me. He is definitely an area we needed to address, a mid sized cutter/slasher. You also have to love the quote he made saying he wanted to win championships... loving the attitude Jared.
  11. Super excited about this commitment and for the season on a whole next year. Just the fact that the one video had him dunking in a game makes me happy, because I am pretty confident that I have not seen Conklin dunk in his time as a Billiken. We need a rebounder and someone who can get those rebounds and put them back up strong. This is an article from the end of his '09 season after he had a 41 point game, and although it may not be as competitive of a team as his prep team was, that is still very encouraging. http://www.nbebasketball.com/w3/2009-0305/class-of-2011-intro-grandy-glaze/ He wants "most importantly, a place were people will work with me and push me everyday so I can become a better player each day. I do not want to go to a school that just lets players slack, I want a coach that’s gonna bust my butt.” ... you have to love that mentality. Welcome to Saint Louis Grandy, we need you to be a monster out there. “I dont think I’m the next anyone, I want to be, and I will be, the FIRST Grandy Glaze“.
  12. It said Jett Ellis Eckerle Cassity and Conklin are starting. Also the pregame college announcers said "I expect us to absolutely annihilate this weaker team". No respect for the Bills.
  13. One of the uglier second halves I've ever seen. Cody looked very poor. He has to get tougher, stronger and start to find his shot or I don't want him to be on the floor at all. Made me so happy to see Paul play as well as he did.
  14. If you have student tickets you use your slu id. If you don't then you have to get them at the door.
