I stated elsewhere that hiring Corey Tate was the best decision Coach Ford made during his tenure.  Tate has good relationships with the top local high school players and top juco players in the region.  I'm pleased that Coach Schertz recognized his value and retained him.

Zyree is an example of a high school player who will not get as much attention as he would have prior to the portal era.  He's a 6 foot combo guard who can score in a variety of ways.  He has good athleticism but since he plays at his own pace it's hard to assess it. 
That's the kind of player that will be prioritized by some MVC team while higher level programs take a wait and see approach.  If he becomes a star they can always grab him in the portal.  If he doesn't then, they've lost nothing.
Luke Walsh is in the same boat.  He's a little bigger, a little better shooter but not as polished a ball handler or passer as Zyree.

Try 20K.  From what I've read, NIL doesn't operate on a continuum.  The stars and 4 star recruits make $100K and up.  The bench players, especially at the mid-major level, get peanuts.

Our leading scorer this year, a Coach Tate recruit, is in the portal and is receiving high major interest.  C'mon now.  I know some people need to burn the Coach Ford era to the ground for closure but hiring  Coach Tate was probably the best decision of his tenure. 
In any case, Coach Schertz has already had success recruiting the Midwest.  I have no doubt that he will bring in local players from time to time as he develops relationships in the area.

Three of those four players played immediately.  And Tate got more than high school players, he got high scoring jucos as well.
Tate did the best job of anybody on the staff at recruiting.  But Coach Schertz has his own guys.  Which is absolutely understandable.

I think it's intentional.  The P5 boosters are trying to price everybody else out of the market.

If Chris May sticks around, new SLU fans will know him as the AD in Golden age of SLU sports, where all the major sports teams were winning.  Meanwhile in MBM land we will still be talking about his social media failures and overpaying Travis Ford.  We will become the grumpy old men.  It is our destiny.

"You can be demanding without being demeaning." I understand Schertz has great respect for Majerus's basketball mind but he has a very different outlook on how to get the most out of players.  It more closely aligns with my own point of view.

I've been saying that for years.  We've got about 30 years of evidence that demonstrates the old boy network runs the show regardless of who the AD is.

Ezewiro, a guy who couldn't get off the bench for a bad P6 team, averaged 12 and 6 for an equally bad Billikens team.  This isn't a sexy example, but it's fairly typical.
The co-player of the year in the A10 is Richmond's Jordan King, an all-conference player who transferred from another mid-major.  Same with second-teamer Keyshawn Hall from George Mason. That's also fairly typical.
Matt Cross was a role player at his previous P6 stops.  He was a first-teamer at UMass.  Nate Santos couldn't get off the bench at Pitt.  He was a second-teamer at Dayton.  And so on.

So he's a lifelong criminal for basically doing what blue blood college basketball programs have done for decades but at a much smaller scale.  And he's a criminal to this day at 75 years old but he has a sweetheart deal with the Feds to keep him out jail.  Got it.

They certainly live a modest lifestyle considering they are crime kingpins.  I don't think the average De Smet graduate would trade places with them.
