It has already started. We are going to let a group of toupee wearing has beens who can't write a complete sentence create the new nickname for SLU's newest star, the biggest national star for SLU since Easy Ed. We can't let this happen. Step 1 submit your best ideas in this thread. Let's have some great suggestions by the time the press conference hits and flood social media with the best one and force Bernie, Frank, and the Bens to submit to our nickname. If that doesn't work I have 4 cases of clown noses in my Amazon cart ready to ship today to the offices of the Post Dispatch, 590, 101, and KSDK.

Keep em coming

Top o’the mornin to ya- live from Rose Hill for game 2 of this 3 game set between the Rams and the Bills. Talked to DH before the game - what a great guy. Lots of blue here. Let’s go!

Hundreds of thousand of dimes, in the case of the 3 guys who landed elsewhere!

We're dealing with 18-21 year olds making decisions in the presence of yearly dollar signs that I don't know if I'll end up reach in my life. Things change on a dime.

Even with the best coaching in the world Goodwin is still basically the same player he was when he left here. Free throw percentage is just a little higher. And we know he's put a lot of work into his game. We're always looking for somebody to blame when players don't make dramatic improvements but dramatic improvements are the exceptions, not the norm.

I think the addition of two rather than four returning starters extends the honeymoon period for Coach Schertz. Four returning starters plus Jimerson is a preseason top 25 team because of all the known factors. Expectations by local and national media would be through the roof. Two returning starters starters plus Jimerson plus a couple of solid pieces from the portal is a team that will be projected as top four in the A10 by the preseason outlets. Two very different situations.

Goodwin's 3rd season as a pro is over. In 40 games with Phoenix Goodwin averaged 5 ppg, 3 boards, 2 assists, shot .389 from the field and 28% from 3 while playing 14 minutes a game. His best games for the Suns came in late November and early December. He had a 14/7/5 against the Knicks and a 16/5/6 game against GS. Goodwin got regular minutes well into December, then once the Holidays hit he started seeing more and more DNPs until he was traded away to the Nets. After his release by the Nets he was signed to a 10 day by the Grizlies which they then turned into a 2 way contract for the remainder of the season. In 17 games with the Grizzlies Goodwin had 12 starts and averaged 29 mpg, with 10 ppg, 8 rebounds, and 4.5 assists. His %s took a hit shooting only .350 from the field and 63% from the line. He also had 1.5 steals a game. His best games for Memphis was a 13/12/7 performance in a win over Milwaukee, a 10/19/5 game in a loss to the Spurs, and a 23/17/4 game against the Lakers. Goodwin's contract is over. He is now a restricted Free Agent. Memphis can make him a qualifying offer and then has the right to match any other offer from a team or they can renounce his rights. Currently Memphis owes over 150 million in player salaries next year, while also having one of the top picks in the draft. They have a logjam of players at the wing and guard position. It appears unlikely that Memphis will be resigning Goodwin at this point. Most likely his rights will be renounced and he will enter free agency.

Or the three of the starting 5 saw Gibby returning etc Let’s not hold this against TheOne. We’d be left in the dark if not for him.

Yeah, I am really excited about adding Avila, but it does seem like adding him and Swope from their starting 5 was the minimum expectation. A lot of the connected folks on here were implying we’d be getting all of them. Ultimately I am pumped with the hire and Avila, so who cares, but what you point out is true. Now let’s see how Schertz builds out the rest of the roster.

I think you’re right. Showing pics of capital grill and riding around campus the same weekend as choosing somewhere else would be next level tool move.

Jimerson wouldn’t have stayed if both Avila and Swope had gone elsewhere.

A decision the same day his visit concludes has to be a good thing

I'm a bit nervous now too. Wait, have they shown him the ductwork?

And the coach’s son

This is becoming a great St. Louis thread! I do appreciate the line above “daddy’s would never be brave enough to come out of the stands and fight us” referring to adults fighting high school kids as bravery haha.

*3... you forget to count Bledson

Wait how come we are only getting 2 ISU players? I feel like someone said it was a lock for 4-5? Maybe I'm mistaken.

FIFY.

It’s good publicity for the program and Avila.

Yeah that last line has me more nervous than it should.
