Dove into this deeper. So they also canceled games at Dayton and at home against Fordham. I think they only played GW because it was senior night.
This almost makes it worse. Put a team together. Just forfeiting is not enough. There should be a financial penalty paid to the rest of the league members at the very least.

Pre game ceremonies suck for the players. I've done it both ways in HS and college. Post game is much better.

Thats unheard of, a d-1 team cancelling a season. They don't have 5 players to put out there?

Where did Cisse end up? I completely forgot about him.
Trinity Valley CC. He plays decent minutes but not a star. They are a top ten team.

Majerus did change it but it was after the game during different periods of time under all the coaches from Grawer to Soderberg.

As long as the A10 doesn't expand I'm fine with this. UMass has been working on this move for years. It is a huge drop for basketball but they should dominate that league.

I mentioned this in earlier post Sodie went from Assoc Coach at VA to Director of Scouting. With the portal this is one important position & replacing a recruiter on the staff. Kind of making someone like Tate present role obsolete.
Responsibilities would include trying to identify potential transfer candidates prior to declaring to get the earliest jump on them when they do declare, especially those in the lower major schools, review game tapes on them to ascertain if they are any good & would they fit in to your system-both in attitude & skill, & what is it going to cost you in NIL.
It's whole new ball game, but it is what is.
That isn't Soderberg's role at all.

Medley will soon pass Goodwin for Assists as a Freshman, in substantially fewer minutes played. He already passed McCall, and might catch MItchell.
Maybe 10 to 12 games into the season, before he was hurt, Meadows was in the Top 25 in the Nation in Assists to Turnover Ratio.
But hey, if these two are the worst combination of point guards in your fandom, it must be so.
This is an awful post.
Way to cherry pick stats.
Medley turns the ball over at double the rate Goodwin did. Medley's TO Rate is the highest for any rotation player in the last 20 years.
The only non walk on rotation PG I would rate lower than these two is Polk in the last 20 years.

What a surprise, thetorch posted complete and utter Bullsh!t
Hey detective remember when TheOne posted complete and utter bullsh*t about Dandridge and the washout from Army coming to play here? Forgot about that one? He/She is hardly infallible. If he/she is who we think he/she is he's only telling us what his dad tells him.
I'm just sharing what I've heard. When I have a conversation with a prominent booster, like I did this week, and he opens up the conversation with "Next year when Ahearn is the coach," it alarms me. Add in to that a lot of internet chatter and rumors going around, with area sports media guys touting him and I hope you can understand where I'm coming from.
It alarms me because an Ahearn hire, while maybe not being terrible, is not the best we can do by far. He should be 10th on the list, not a top candidate. We've definitely contacted Ahearn at this point? Have we contacted other available coaches like Mack or Holtmann who are better candidates by far?
Detective you typically only post in response to me. Why don't you contribute something worthwhile to the discussion once in a while and prove you actually are an actual fan of the program and not just a troll.

Getting back to the task at hand.
At this moment (which hopefully will change) Blake Ahearn will be our next coach.
Please direct me to someone I can beg at SLU to wait till the season is over and at least interview Ben McCollum the monday after he wins another D-2 title. Ahearn will be there no matter what.

My computer was off by two points.
Gotta work on that algorithm tonight. Needs tweaking.

Why have the candidates for the SLU job that the local media has mentioned (fed by SLU officials or boosters) all been awful? Crean, Weber and now Ahearn?

Am I missing something? Grizzlies have a 9 game losing streak. They bring in JG and give him some decent minutes, including a start, and win their next two games, including one over the Bucks. Then, the very next game, JG doesn’t see the court, and they lose. What’s wrong with their coach.
Memphis coach is an analytical egghead from Penn who may or not be a better basketball player than I am. He sucks and he doesn't know ball.

Schertz is the coach that most physically resembles Majerus. Lock em' down.
McCollum is the coach who has most of Majerus' personality traits ie most likely to sh*t in a towel and make fun of physically handicapped players. Lock em' down.
thatskablamo, brianstl and Slu let the dogs out? like this -
McCollum & Schertz are cleary the best options.
Why do I feel like neither will get interviewed?

Kinda strange that SVB seems to have taken Bruce’s minutes.
SVB really outworked Bruce on picking up the walk on for a dunk like you would for a 3 year old. No wonder he's getting more minutes. Got to reward the work.

This is what the team was working on pregame.
Pencil in a victory. We are ready to compete.

Ford makes Uncle Sodaberger look like John Wooden.
Soderberg's defensive schemes won a national title. He is a great coach, just not a Head Coach.
I'd settle for a top 100 defense right now.

Lack of NIL funds is a running excuse from the current staff and even the Athletic Dept staffers for this whole season but its mentions have gone up and up as we get closer to the end Coac Ford's tenure.
Does anybody have any real figures that we have given our student athletes? I will take even rumors or conjecture.
Jimerson was paid well into 6 figures this year. Highest I've heard is 250k which lends creedence to him considering coming back for another year. Are there any other estimates out there? Maybe what the whole roster is earning?
