Darn Do we still need a point guard? I am guessing McCottery plays point but being a freshman I am a little leery. Shoot for a one-year eligible experienced point guard out the portal would be nice to break in McCottery.

The media has him as a given. Below is one many articles I seen mention this: https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/robbie-avila-one-of-the-biggest-names-in-the-transfer-portal-following-josh-schertz-to-saint-louis/ Just curious, is Conwell in the Portal? Any chance? I seen that Aaron Gray removed his name.

This ain't no gimme! Did anyone check Santa Clara's record last season? Notable wins are Oregon, Washington State, Gonzaga, Duquesne, etc.. Washington State & Gonzaga being top 50 wins. In the Ford tenure, how many did we have of those?

Agree, that was a dismal year. In fact from 75-82 were dismal years but in his case his tenure was only one year. The team he inherited was bad. Also, did not improve significantly when Ekker was hired. Thank God for Grawer. What makes Grawer special in my mind that unlike now, Grawer was not handed a lot of resources.

This going back now 15 yrs but I recall bonds were used to fund a good portion of the Chaifetz. Interest does have to payed on the bonds & $ set aside if someone cashes in.

Geez, it was only one year. Didn't he pull in Ricky Frazier?

Actually they do: https://catalog.slu.edu/colleges-schools/arts-sciences/theological-studies/greek-latin-language-literature-ba/ I don't what you would do with such a degree other than be one of those folks that roam the desert in the Middle East searching for ancient scriptures.

It can work both ways: 20-21 Duquesne A10 record was 1-16. This year 10-8 and a 2nd round in the NCAAs, which, even before Norm Nixon, has not done since the 60s. I will admit, I think players getting compensated is good, but this is crazy

I am sure CJS reviewed some game tapes & got some recommendations from Tate. I wonder if he had some individual 'come to Jesus' meetings with individuals and saying 'I see limited playing time for you for the upcoming season' ? He may pretty much know who transferring in from ISU.

Was he scholarship player at ISU? Doesn't faculty, which I believe Coach Schertz is considered, get free tuition?

I see that Pitino in trouble with that presently. As if it matters with him, just part of doing business.

Thanks 05, brought back a lot of memories.

I think it is only happen if UCONN bolts to the B12. Can UCONN make the football program comparable to its men and women BB program? I doubt they have the will to do it therefore they remain in the NBE. Make the A10 better. Bring in C of C & I like to see Bradley, for our sake. Bradley been decent the last couple of years with Wardle. Also, if you remember the Bradley back in our day, they were our biggest rivals. Recall that last game in the 70-1 season, 15000+ in the old Barn. Watching Jimmy Irving go off on them. With that win we got into a 3 way tie in the old MVC.

05, if you could give us a link, I would appreciate it. Thanks

Thank God the portal was not in existence during the Shimmy years. The roster would have had a 100% turnover every year. Shimmy did know how to PR herself. Loved her blog. Also, didn't they make a documentary movie about the team during her tenure?

WOW! Talk about a someone from the past that was from the evil Dark Ages of SLU WBB. Curious, where is she now?

When I read that, it made my Sunday morning, could not stop laughing. I'll have to remember that one.

Well, I am guessing, other than this year, ISU does not exactly pack it in. 2023: ISU 3886 avg attendance SLU 7056 avg attendance 2022: ISU 2099 avg attendance SLU 5559 avg attendance 2021: ISU 3676 avg attendance SLU 6880 avg attendance Both arenas have similar capacity. So much for ISU being a hotbed for Indiana basketball.

This is not Terra Haute. He is coming to a top 25 media market and earning the big bucks. Part handling the press will be his job. If this does not work out here after he arrives, you'll have Bernie & Slaten doing the old 'I told you so'. Majerus got away with it by ignoring the StL media other than Bernie, who was his buddy.

Poor guy dealing with cancer, leave him alone.

Harriman did not waste anytime on the unemployment line. Good for Harry, wish we would have kept him.

It mentioned 4 players will accompany Schertz, surprised one of those players did not let the 'cat out of the bag'. Good for them, they are disciplined and focused.

Okie, this is going back, it was in the Romer days. I think it involved Jimmy McKinney (the father) and it was one other player. McKinney ended up playing for Quin Snyder at SPUMAC. He really toyed with us over that one. One other player, just can't remember. Ace or Torch, help me out here?
