Do we know if this is a legit event - could it be a hack account?>
It's not. I got a text message from 2 board members with an invite.

Might be tough with only one year left, but this is the kind of player that seem slike he would fit the new system.

That’s probably correct. Get the roster squared away and then see who you can get on the schedule. I would say we do owe a favor to SIUE for letting us use their court in the WNIT, so maybe they convert that into a game with them. The schedule appears to be wide open.
This is going to be interesting to watch. I think one of the biggest differences between the MVC/A10 and ISU/SLU has been our ability to schedule home and homes with P5 schools. Was that a Ford thing or league thing? Hoping the schedule remains robust and we get some good non-con home games.

No one ever coached stopped for a bit then coached again. Never ever happened.
Man I wonder if someone connected to UK reached out to agents of coaches that have been to the final 4? Is one or two prominent boosters involved?
Please give us some of your horoscope like "scoop" from all your middle school girls soccer connections.
ummm...Rick Majerus?

Very few teams get to win their last game of the season. Way to go ladies.

Zac Brown Band is big enough to sell 60 to 75% of an Enterprise sized arena. Adam is just the icing on the cake for our weirdly devoted country fan base in the area.
The concert is a fundraiser for Cardinal Glennon. It happens every year at Chaifetz. Always a country act. I belive the performers donate their performance. I wonder if SLU makes anything on it?

One of SLU’s top candidates is connected with a specific search firm, but not the one Stu mentioned.
Thanks for sharing what you can and have. Hopefully this is put to bed soon and the new coach can hit the ground running. There are multiple people that can take this job and be successful, each in their own fashion. Let's hope the decicion makers land on one of them (soon).

I am not sure that has been confirmed
It hasn't been confirmed but is treated as gospel by some on this board.

Dayton blew it, Dukes advance, hopefully Dayton still gets an at large bid, but might find themselves sweating it out on Sunday.
Let’s hope they take Indiana State’s bid.

As a 2 time transfer, does BE still have options? No idea about the rules now.

I will be very surprised if SLU hires an assistant coach (without head coaching experience on their resume) unless it is a financially driven decsion. That would be inconsistent with what was said during the last hiring cycle and inconsistent with the last two women's head coaching hires.

Do we have a tip time?
Saw this on ESPN. 4 pm here but still showing 3:30 other places.

I know we are just grasping at straws on the logic and whatnot, but there is no way that Schertz (or any other coach that will be in the NCAA tournament) is going to announce they are leaving their team for SLU until the NCAA tournament is over.
But a coach probably wouldn't stick around to coach an NIT game. Which is where (insert midmajor conference regular season winner/tournament loser) could end up. Then you are ready to go.

I think he is actually DePaul’s top choice.
People in and around SLU definitely know what’s up and it is why the limited language from some has changed dramatically over the past couple of weeks. Moser is a guy that could get all of the biggest donors on the same page.
I would argue that SLU has at least one very important advantage over DePaul as it relates to Moser. He knows you can win here. He was part of the staff under RM that built a top 10 team. It has been done at SLU in recent history (how far we have fallen). DePaul hasn't been relevant since when, the 1980's?
Although, DePaul is the answer to an important trivia question...who was SLU's first win in the Great Midwest.

My ***** about this board is someone says something without any real knowledge and it becomes gospel. Blaming Chaifetz for saving Ford is pure speculation and I have my reasons to believe it is false.
Yeah. This is pretty much where I am at. A lot of people on here say " I am not sure but have a very reliable source that says....". The reality is no one knows and you just have to filter or ignore the posters that bug you the most. I actually think it is comical and highly entertaining that there are still people adamantly defending the coach's performance while others think starting an email campaign or threatening to put up a billboard (while asking someone else to fund a buyout, new coach, and robust NIL program) moves the needle.
One way or another, this will resolve itself. TF will stay or go and all of us will decide how we want to engage based on that.
I will put one opinion out there and stress it is my opinion, not something I heard from a guy who knew a guy. If we move on and have to pay some kind of buyout, we will all pay for it. Yes, a big donor or two will hopefully step up and help, but season ticket prices, and parking in the SLU garage, and concessions, and Billiken Club tiers will very likely be impacted also.

Nice game. A few random observations. Curious if I am the only one who saw them:
Dr. C sits in front of me. He looked completely disengaged until about 15 minutes left.
TF looked a lot calmer on the bench last night. A couple of plays that previously would get him worked up (the last turnover and big Brad's last foul come to mind) didn't.
The offense flowed much better with Meadows and Medley on the floor together. The ball actually moved more and there wasn't one guy at the top of the key pounding it into the floor deep into the clock. Hope we see more of that.
The team hasn't quit on the coach.
At one point in the first half the rebounds. 21-9 against. Wonder what was said to reverse that?

I know they have a really solid P5 transfer visiting this week that would be a good pick up.

One of my favorite teams was the 93-94 team. It was outrebounded by about 2/game but had 6 fewer turnovers per game. If we get no more bigs eligible, there is a model to be successful. And I am not comparing this team to 93-94, just pointing out that there is more than one way to generate possessions.

This may come off as slightly more negative than I intend, but administratively I feel the AD has always made more than its fair share of mistakes and I think that is more about leadership and oversight at this point. I think of odd examples like when the fire alarm went off during a game at Chaifetz and there did not seem to be a standard process on what to do.
I also think of things that are just mysteries like our game tonight originally being an 8 PM game (and not sure why). It is wonderful it was rescheduled, but there was effort spent correcting that error (assuming 8 PM was an error in judgment or typing in start times or something other than a logical choice). I always liked the expression that if you do not have time to do something right in the first place, when are you going to find time to do it again.
They were hoping for a 6 pm men's soccer game.

I don't know a specific number. Do you?
I know we're getting beaten head-to-head for almost every non-international recruit we've pursued since NIL opened up. North Texas and Creighton took committed players from us. Using just the 2024 class, we've offered guys who have committed to the following schools: Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Drake, FAU, Villanova (x3), Miami, St. Bonaventure, Mizzou, South Carolina, SMU, Rutgers, Cleveland State, UNT, Mississippi State, and Northwestern. 3 other offered players currently have lists of finalists that do not include SLU.
We landed Dalger, Meadows, and Ezewiro from the portal. The list of schools who landed players we recruited from the portal is way longer than the 2024 list above. Listening to Troy yesterday, it sounds like we're not directing NIL toward HS players and focusing on player retention first and transfers second (which creates an obvious question to me that was not asked), so we're going to see more transfers than prep players unless something changes. However, we aren't competitive in the higher tiers of transfer recruiting.
I'm not sure how you define "mid-major" because everyone seems to look at it differently. But if I'm looking at non-football power conferences (and non-Big East) in 2024, I'm seeing some nice recruiting wins in the MWC (UNLV, SDSU), along with Wichita State, Old Dominion, and James Madison. All of them have landed multiple quality commitments already. I have no idea what NIL dollar figures they're operating with - I just know they're seeing results. I would venture a bet that Dayton and VCU are operating with larger budgets than we are, and that pains me to no end.
And sadly, St. Bonaventure.

I really want Turnbull. Good 3 point shooter in college (small sample size) and high school (39%). And the ability to play a bit bigger from time to time.
