  1. Past hour
  2. That depends upon a number of factors: 1. No significant injuries during the coming season. 2. Playing performance similar to or better than last season results. 3. Having a coach that actually plays him a lot next season. This is not a done deal although the probability he does make it to the NBA after next season is real
  3. Today
  4. Follow this site instead https://d1baseball.com/conference/atlantic-10-conference/ They’re the only baseball team in this metro area that’s worth a damn and have been for some time, and yet they can’t get any coverage from the local media.
  5. Can no longer do incognito mode for stl today
  6. A-10 standings show Dayton at 13-4. They had a game with VCU cancelled which accounts for them having one less conference game than the Bills. On Saturday, I saw on the A-10 site Dayton with 13 wins so figured Sunday’s game was for the tie. Turns out the Dayton page shows them at 12-5 so the A-10 site is wrong.
  7. Yeah post's paywall has been getting better at screening out us riff-raff of late. Thanks
  8. 17 against Northwestern, 21 against St. John's, 16 against Houston, 28 against Cincy. I'd say he did just find against top competition. 32 of 83 three point attempts (38%) is more than "draft me, draft me" shooting. I would rely on the NBA scouts evaluation of a player more than our "Obi is a One Trick Pony" evaluator. (That One Trick Pony player has a $9million player option on the table for next season.)
  9. Holmes scored 23, with 11 boards against Arizona who has 1 elite big, and 1 really good big.
  10. Toppin is/was the better athlete. Holmes runs like he has a stick up his ass. His percentages down low are the result of no resistance in the A10. When faced with some physicality, he was a lesser player. His three-point shooting was mostly from straight on and only when left completely uncovered and designed to tell the pros 'yeah I got more to my game, I'm draftable, pick me, pick me.' I expect him to get snuffed in the NBA if he even makes it. Time will tell which of us is right.

  14. 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.
  15. It's almost like there's a coherent media campaign that benefits Saint Louis basketball.
  16. It’s a great article on what Coach Schertz is thinking as he tries to fill out the roster. Yes, it’s behind a paywall.

  18. As the Bills player acquisition situation has cooled a bit in recent days , I thought I would ask the computer who it liked. In other words, ...Who is available that would best fit The Bills/ Schertz system? Answer ...Chaz Lanier SG from N Fla...6'4...175.....has played 4 years there( 1 yr remaining)...current teams that are reported to have interest ...KY , Tenn , BYU. This guy is a Majerus type player (180+ slash) checking in at 183..... 51/ 60.3/ 44/ 88 = A+ / A+/ A+ (66 ITN) / A+ (53rd ITN) = FG/ 2P / 3P/ FT plus 4.8 rpg. He would be a good get....The point is there are still plenty of good players available at this time.
  19. Billikens are in sole first place with a record of 13-5, second place Dayton are 12-5. These two teams play a 3-game series starting next Friday in Saint Louis.
  20. Walsh and Collins to a slightly lesser extent have a great relationship with the new staff and want to play for them. I expect if/when offers are made that commitments from both will be made immediately after.
  21. 6'11 All American who makes 50% of shots from catch and shoot & shoots 38% from 3. Yeah he sucks. Obi was drafted into an awful situation in NY and injuries have hurt him. He and Holmes are completely different players. I expect Holmes to be a solid big man in the NBA for years to come.
  22. @slu72: I'll do my best but will refrain from anything until the rosters have been set. Hoosier give a nice composite above and the bottom line will be how quickly a team builds chemistry and how they compete in their OOC schedule. A10 teams have a tendency to play absolutely no one (not their fault) and compile gaudy OOC records. Some teams will now use this time to find the rotation ---- much like Duquesne did last year. It's not the same anymore, just like it was different for Ford dealing with the portal and NIL.
  23. Yesterday
  24. It looks like basically the whole coaching staff, including Schertz, is following Walsh on Twitter. I would assume that means there’s some serious interest there from the staff.
  25. I apologize if this has been shared before, but there is an Etsy store that has two great vintage SLU t-shirt designs. I added the t-shirt to my cart and a day later, I got a 10% off coupon offer, so if you are buying, consider that strategy. https://www.etsy.com/shop/GatewayClothingCo?ref=l2-about-shopname
  26. Bills move into a tie for first by scoring 2 in the 9th and 2 in the 10th to take a 5-4 victory and get the sweep over Mason!!
  27. Well I was a Ford supporter who got on the dump Ford train late. One thing I disliked about Ford was his apparent dislike for playing 2 Bigs at the same time. I think that ends with Schertz. I see a lineup of Avila, Swope, Jimerson, Casey or Anya, & Dotzler/Hughes/or PG or CG still to be signed. And would love to see Swope and Jimerson pushed hard this Summer by players hungry for playing time. Needless to say, looks like this team will have a very solid, competitive and sizable rotation this season. Summer workouts should be viciously competitive.
