I could see the three of them taking all 80 available minutes and they Garner approximately 30-30-20 split of those minutes assuming Casey and Anya are both legit. Imo playing 5 out they are gonna be better off defensively and rebounding if they are playing two legit bigs.

Willie my memory of SLU and AB exclusive goes back to my days. I recall many times having a beer at the Busch center and Busch on tap was the only beer they had.

I agree but it seems it is not just a coincidence that we only see AB anywhere on campus run by anything SLU.

Each year his recruits are reputed to be the top players. A good coach imo would translate that in 20+ years into more than one championship. The guy is a great recruiter and has proven he can get the talent. He just doesn't turn that around on a regular basis to a result expected. He is the premium version of what Ford was until NiL came to be. Now a good recruiter apparently also has to have the premium checking account to capitalize and build something. Schmooze is no longer good enough. Ironically calipari always had the needed boosters at Memphis and Kentucky to have the cash to close the deal he just didn't have the actual development, practice and game coaching to go with it and never capitalized on the talent consistently as was expected by Kentucky folks. Let's see how he does with Tyson and Walmart money. I'm betting no better.

It's long been my opinion that calipari is a horrible coach. With the awesome talent he's brought in every program he's run, he's only won one national championship
-
Well we all saw how effective playing basically 8 players was for Ford. I'm sure all the big coaches noticed as well and are now using this bold strategy. Note: blue font

Jordan Goodwin Is Now A Memphis Grizzly
billiken_roy replied to thetorch's topic in Billikens.com Main Board
I watch 2 playerS. Jordan Goodwin and Steph Curry. Other than that I never watch NBA. I even will switch channels when Goodwin or Curry come out of the game. My knowledge of anything not Goodwin or Curry comes from what I pick up while watching them or when my grandson and I talk (sadly he adores the NBA and my efforts to get him to watch my favorite sport, baseball, have fell on deaf ears). So I guess I need to put a statement out that my knowledge of NBA basketball is next to nothing do not pay attention to anything I write. -

While overall I am not a Slaten fan. That said, I think he is an outstanding interviewer. He's thorough. He will ask the difficult questions as well as give some fun softball stuff. Other than JC Corcoran, imo he is the best interviewer in local media (for the record, other that I interviewing, I don't like JC Corcoran as well. I just think he's good at interviewing) It's a shame both can't get the rest of their jobs right. What they could have been -

Hard to comment and appreciate when you can't open it. No use posting such when it's not readable by the post dispatch. If it's that important for us mbm's to read, cut and paste the article please.
