I have reached billiken_roy levels of posting (7/7)

  1. @willie: i would say yes. It appears you can transfer as many times as you want with no penalty. Joe Bamisile at VCU/Oklahoma/GW/Va Tech is the prime example. Plus the injunction that gave them all this year.
  2. Stef van Bussel into the portal. Six left: Ezewiro, Thames, Hughes, Curcic, Zhang and Magassa.
  3. Anybody see the Kendrick Perkins NILLY ads this past week? NILLY - Invest in the NIL Rights of Student Athletes There is a "target return" on your investment. It appears the minimum investment is $1,000 although they only list two athletes as being on the current roster ..... Chris Davis Jr a running back from Ole Miss and Jalen Lee, a basketball senior out of Orlando.
  4. Kyrel Luc entered the portal on March 18. Barry Evans entered on March 17. Melian Martinez also on the 18. Chad Venning on March 20. These would leave the Bonnies with 8 scholarship players and Banks, Mika-Woods and Pride are all seniors. Schmidt goes into next year with 5 players.
  5. New name popped for me today .... Ricardo Greer, assistant at Dayton.
  6. St. Bonaventure AD Joe Manhertz resigns following questions over decision to not compete in NIT (msn.com)
  7. Gibson, as well as any other college basketball player in today's stupid NIL era, owes it to themselves to "apply" for a new job anywhere else that pays better, offers better opportunities for advancement (March Madness) and so on. That is just the way it is, the new world order. Nothing says his current offer will be superceded but he should still explore all options available to him. I'd like to see him come back and finish his career dotted throughout the SLU record books.
  8. I expect every player on our last roster to exit. Sure, they may come back but a man's gots ta do what a man's gots ta do.
  9. Question: did Spoon have a system? We all know Majerus was a genius but I can't recall if Spoon had a system like that or not. Many people are talking about Schertz having a system of 5-out. We all know the last guy didn't have a system, just hero ball. I really don't recall if Spoon had something or just got somewhat lucky with Claggett, Highmark, Waldman, DSobbs and then Hughes.
  10. As it stands now, I'd keep Thames, van Bussel, and Medley. And Jimerson if he comes back. Zhang can go. The epitome of his failings today were when he had the ball stripped and stolen second half above the key. Jesus man, you're seven feet tall, you hold the ball over your head and that's ten feet. Yer all year he's dropped it down to his hip where the gnats can get at it. Plus he can't hold onto a rebound much. Hughes is at best an 8th or 9th man. Legacy or not he's no PG. He's no shooting guard. And he gets beat constantly on defense. Ezewiro is lazy, fundamentally weak and still out of shape. Sure, he's all we got down low but a starving man will eat a can of dog food if he has to. Curcic can stay only if Hughes goes and vice a versa. Both are guards. Both are 8th or 9th men at best. I sincerely doubt Sincere is an option. Plus I don't think he can play a team concept and his defense is notoriously weak. That's three, maybe four guys. Plus the LOI signee. Eight more players needed to fill a roster of 13.
  11. Zhang is a still, tall turnover. SVB has shown promise as at least a back up Power Four or five.
  12. Again 19 offensive rebounds for VCU. That almost spells disaster ..... according to the Wiz.
  13. VCU faded down the stretch. Flyers by five; VCU drops to the #5 seed behind Umass.
  14. There is also a lot of competition for college basketball in the metropolitan DC area. Geedubya, Mason, Maryland, Georgetown, American, Howard, Catholic U., UMBC, Gallaudet. Throw in the Wizards. I doubt Geedubya is very high on the list of teams to go see and play. Plus their student body is not exactly a typical student body in my opinion.
  15. Irrespective of the personnel issues (real or not) at Geedubya, I am not surprised at the turnout for such a Senior Night. I mean, think about it, what connection does have fan base have in the future with one-year mercenaries? Bishop did transfer in and did spend three years there so he is above that norm but would we have stood and cheered the likes of Mike Meadows and Tim Dalger if they had made it through a SLU Senior Night? Yes, we can reward and revel in the accomplishments of Hargrove and Jimerson for their five-year commitments and we can even honor a Javon Bess or Francis Okoro for theirs. But with NIL, the portal, open transfers and grad student transfers, I would think the obligatory Senior Night is on the list of endangered species.
