He doesn't look 240 lbs on that picture-check out the thin legs-something doesn't add up.

I may be wrong but I thought Raymonds was an assistant to Eddie Hickey, not Bob Polk-anybody know for sure? Thanks.

Skip, you must be really, really bored.

Come on everyone. This is another of the stupid, "We're better than you are" threads that have popped up in the last few days. If you really are grads of college let's start acting like it-this is BS!

Please, please can't we end this childish c@#p???

For those of you looking for your tickets, mine just arrived-seems earlier than usual. I think it is going to be a great season. By the way, with workouts about to begin can we stop with the "My team and/or conference is better than your's." I enjoy a spirited discussion as much as the next guy, but it has gotten out of hand recently.

Bob, Stan L lives in South County and Gil Beckemeier is a lawyer in Downtown St. Louis-sorry I can't help with Garrison and Strange, both from CBC. John Kilo, who you may remember, as a Billiken BB player a couple of years after you (and also went to CBC) is a lawyer in St. Louis who could probably help you connect with GG and JS if you wanted to call John at his office.

OK, I give. What verbal?

Please guys, it's Liddell not Lidell or Liddel. He probably reads this Board and would like Billiken fans to at least spell his name correctly.

You are REALLY underestimating Kevin Lisch. If we can keep getting the K Lisch's each year we will be an excellent D-1 team-not a .500 team.

For what it's worth I remember Claggs having a great shot his freshman year and it was made even better by the fact that he could shot off the run unlike most of the good shooters SLU has had who could only drill the "3" if standing still or squared up e.g. Scott H, Virgil C, Drew D etc...

I agree with you except that appears to be too many to keep happy re playing time.

Isn't it amazing that a blatant racist like Tuna can get away with all his remarks since they are "for effect", while Rush gets canned for just injecting race into a discussion-quite a world we've evolved into to!! Regarding Tuna and DJ on KSDK Sports Plus, as much as I like Frank, I've long since switched to Steve Savard's Sunday night show since it doesn't provide a regular forum for racism. I much prefer sports over racism at 10:30 Sunday night. Savard's show is excellent and most importantly is just about sports.

This thread is interesting in view of today's Liddell verbal.

From what I've read on this Board it seems like the impression I have of our new recruit is a new Monroe Douglas-about the same size, with great athletic ability, a slasher-type scorer without a great outside shot. Can any of you who have seen both players confirm or correct me?

It's official-I heard parts of his press conf. on 1380 today. He seemed excited about pairing up with D Polk in the backcourt and said one of his reasons for picking SLU is that he would like to play the point sometimes and Brad told him he would have that opportunity. Said Brad contacted him the most and had almost become part of the family. WAY TO GO BRAD AND STAFF!!!

Gray verballed to Oklahoma.

If we tell Drejaj that he is going to be the PG, from what I've seen he will work his tail off to improve those skills. He is one hardworking son-of-gun who will do whatever it takes to play.

Maybe as a courtesy to the young man we can all learn how to spell his name--it's Liddell.

Grimes might be a nice player but personally I don't want a guy that rejected us for Mizzou. Surely with what Brad has accomplished in recruiting we can get someone who really wants to come to SLU. Go Bills!!!

Roy you are absolutely right-what are they thinking toying w/ the ACC for football. They don't need anyone for football what with their own TV contract and no need to share/split Bowl $$. I agree that all they need is a conf. for non-football sports and if they called the following schools they would be in a better conf., at least from a travel standpoint. Marq., Depaul, SLU, Xav., Dayton, Temple, St. Joe, Nova, St. Johns, Seton Hall and Charlotte. Add ND to this list and you have a great BB and other sports conf. Georgetown actually might be better than one of the above. I can't imagine any of these schools turning ND down on a power con. like this.

DJ and Floyd never worry about "the point" or facts. They are constantly on the same mission.

I pretty much agree with you (see my post a few days ago) with one exception-#7. I have been very impressed with DC and think he will be a real contributor this year. For the sake of the team, I hope I'm right. Thanks for the report.

I'd have to disagree. From what I've read it seems that DW is waiting for the Big East to decide what they are going to do b/4 deciding what SLU is going to do. I say screw the Big East-let's take the lead on puting together a great basketball conference and let the Big East BB schools come begging us to add an Eastern Division. I suggest the following schools to start: Xavier Dayton Butler Creighton Depaul Marquette Charlotte SLU I believe we would develop some great rivalries in that group. If some or all of the Big East BB schools want to join a Conference with similar interests we could then form an East Div. and possibly shift Charlotte into that group. What a great BB Conf. that would be and travel costs would be far less than we now incur in CUSA. Who wouldn't want to replace S Fla, S Miss, TCU etc with the above listed schools.

In general I was pleased with how he played, but I wouldn't be surprised if he improves as the year progresses and the coach takes over.
