These last three spots are likely the most difficult to fill. IMO the 10 players on the roster look to eat up almost all of the playing time except for that impact/defensive guard Schertz wants. The wild card player and the big to backup Avila won't see much playing time. Somebody has to be 11, 12 and 13 on the bench. Players want to play so those last few spots to be filled will be interesting to see.

-thanks for the update and glad the news is positive

A month ago CJS initially forecasted recruiting would continue through June. Then, on his first coaches show days later, he said it was going so well that it looked like May. A roster of 10 guys so far, looking like 12 any day now...and Patton, who could be a walk-on, may be #13....goal may be achieved with time to spare.

It was never confirmed that Schertz was interested in Mongo Mike, but now it doesn't matter.

Are your “inside sources” still telling you that Ahearn will be the next coach?

Billikens advance to the championship vs Dayton. They will need two wins over Dayton to win the double elimination tournament. Go Billikens!

Glad to hear the band arrow is pointing up!

Calm down chicken little. Another player signed by tuesday at the latest.

Be patient. I bet we hear something this weekend.

I wonder if the NIL money is drying up after the signings of the big three? A number of visits and speculated commitments, but a bit of a dry spell.

No news today? I was under the impression we would have an official commitment announcement.

So, to answer the question, at least from the alumnus perspective, this year went about as well as it could have. The students seemed to have a great time, which was the ultimate goal, and we ended the year on one of the highest points we've had in awhile. I know from my personal conversations with Grant, those who went on the trips and the women's NIT enjoyed themselves IMMENSELY! We did have an end-of-the-year get together at Humps a couple of weekends ago, was well attended, and those who showed certainly enjoyed themselves. Overall, pretty successful year and it was great to see the undergrads get excited and invested in Billiken Basketball, the Band, etc. Now the proof in the pudding will come in the offseason and start of next year. There will obviously be some attrition, whether it's through graduating and moving away, schedule changes, life events, etc., but it seems like we'll be retaining the vast majority of everyone for next year. As for the alumnus that previously left during the mass exodus, time will still tell. Grant would absolutely welcome everyone back with open arms if they want, no questions asked, but it is ultimately a personal decision for each individual to make. In the meantime, I know we'll be doing several administrative days over the summer to gear up for next year, e.g. check on the condition of the instruments, get them fixed, organize everything, and also do a thorough inventory of the music on hand. At the moment, the plan is to open up the repertoire of music to its fullest extent next year, now that we've seasoned a new crop of folks, which should make it just that much more fun! And we're absolutely looking forward to next season now with our new Coach and a revamped team. If there are other Band lurkers, please feel free to express your feelings on how you thought this year went. As a reminder, just be cognizant of the greater audience here. I'll try to post updates as we go through the summer when able. On behalf of Grant, the Band, and myself, thank you all again for the support, and we're soooooo looking forward to getting started next fall and next season!

Bills getting throttled by Dayton, 11-1 mid 4th.

I ended up buying one of these as well and, oof, the quality is not good.

What a weird series of events in the 6th inning today. Game stopped for about 2-3 minutes due to someone on the tennis courts intentionally sending tennis balls onto the softball field. Two pitches later the game is suspended for rain.

Thinking about this again, I think it would only be in store product. Certainly not online. I assume that stuff all ships from individual suppliers.

Wrong year. Moved to 2024.

I had not thought about that but given the timing and the end of the semester, a fire sale seems likely.

This will greatly increase their travel footprint and travel costs for all sports.

Xavier fans say Anderson is red shirting. Weird.

Good for MO State ... another hit to the Valley... Will the Salukis and or Northern Iowa also follow.. C-USA is kind of the Island of Misfit Toys... but is a place for teams to go into the FBS Thought the A- Sun and WAC were going to have a merger, and start a new FBS conference

See the as a good move for the WCC, Bay Area Billiken, said this may happen... Remember Oregon State and Washington State will be temporary basketball only members.. Adding logical regional markets , is that even allowed anymore???

MVC: "Lindenwood, come on down !" They would be fools not to at least talk to them.

Updated 5/10/2024. Looks like the portal has closed with 2025 transfers listed.
