Rashad Williams to Pine Bluff per Twitter. I guess he was the Player To Be Named Later in the Deandre Jones trade.

Every time this gets bumped I secretly hope it’s a Grandy Glaze update. #midtownmadnessinterview!!

Yes there are limitations on how long one can be a Graduate Assistant. They have to be enrolled in a graduate program and have to be making progress towards their masters degree. Typically it is a two year max term, but under some situations it can extend to three. I'm not sure if their is much compensation directly from the basketball program as a salary except for the grad school tuition and fees. GA's can make money elsewhere, or likely in camps. Roby is listed as an enrolled Student in People Finder. There is also a seven year window of time when a student with a bachelor's degree can serve as a GA. I'm not sure, but i don't think Conklin fits into that window.

Too bad he left SLU because Goodwin wanted his number 23.

There were a lot of younger coaches than Tillett available with longer and more impressive resumes, including assistants.

It was time to move on from Stone. Her progress stalled. Tillett may end up being the right choice but the events that have transpired since firing Stone don't align with May's comments. My fear continues to be that Tillett has less resources from the AD than Stone did. There is nothing wrong with a fan questioning what's happened. That's just how sports work.

Gibson Jimerson, junior in International Business, and Martin Linssen, graduate in MBA program, were the two men's TeamBlue members to be honored by receiving Straight A's during the spring 2021 and/or fall 2021 semester. https://slubillikens.com/news/2022/5/11/billiken-athletics-billikens-faculty-staff-recognized-at-annual-straight-a-celebration.aspx Earlier this spring Jimerson, along with Fred Thatch, was honored by the Atlantic 10. Jimerson with a cumulative GPA above 3.9, was also selected as the recipient of a 2022 DI-AAA ADA postgraduate scholarship and will receive $5,000 toward his postgraduate studies. Jimerson and Thatch were the only set of teammates voted to the 12-person Division I-AAA Athletics Directors Association Scholar-Athlete Team.
