Total WAG but we got 3 years. In that time will SLU be elevated enough to grab a successful Drake Coach? McCollum sitting right there waiting to come back to his home state. In the Eye on College Basketball Podcast (I mentioned previously), Parrish and Norlander also assert they believe SLU is right for the Big East. They list good facilities (newer arena) and natural recruiting base as reasons. It was great to hear two of the top CBB reporters make the case.

This train line could put St. Louis on the map. But I'd be wary of a bunch of east coast carpet baggers showing up. My business partner Samuel Cupples wants to market our wares to the travelers.

I think we get Pitbull when we get to the Early Top 25, maybe the on time Top 25 aka The Top 25 and hopefully in the Late Top 25. But not the Top 25 and 1.

Yeah also GCU, Liberty, Baylor, JoeLab's mom, pseudo post-modernism, diploma factories. Guys pay attention.

Yeah great Idea but we can't even get a train from the airport to downtown in Austin. I like the stop in Terre Haute but I heard it was only one way from there to St. Louis.

Norlander and Parrish think Schertz is the best "mid-major" hire as mentioned on their podcast at the 1:31:57 mark and discussed after all the hires are listed.

This is why you need to buy so much salsa. I'm not telling your mom about this, but drugs are bad.

It's 1987 you just put a VHS tape into the VCR, after the FBI Warning this is the logo before the opening scene.

Coach Schertz System or how I learned to stop worrying and love the long bomb. This video is a good breakdown of why the system is superior based on Points Points per Possession Triple P not to be confused with Double P. ISU was #13 on KenPom Adj Off. #1? That would be National Champion UCONN. #2? That's Final 4 Alabama. So that's a good metric to measure good teams. Think of it like this if you take 3, 3 point shots and hit 1 you're at 1ppp. ISU PPP was ranked #7 at 1.159 according to https://www.teamrankings.com/ncaa-basketball/stat/offensive-efficiency Here's the video: https://youtu.be/EvL8VVphT2M?si=jZrSiPPDEQRY7b16

From the 305 to the 314 just like Mr. Worldwide Don't stop the parrrrtyyyyy

Exactly we need guys that are culture fits, if Avila knows him and likes his work ethic. Or a coach is familiar that matters. Can't be a C. Gordon with all the talent but a malcontent. We need guys willing to buy into a system, share the ball and play hard.

The good thing about Nitu going to FSU is we can get him to transfer to SLU next year after he's developed there for a season. Mr. Brightside

Also the start of Passover big day for everyone

Regarding Mari pause this video, posted by Torch, to his commitment thread, at the 41 second mark. It might explain his knowledge of Majerus.

Yeah I agree with this but does anyone on the team currently have + ball handling skills? We mentioned beating the press as a reason for a PG. It's best to beat a press with passing. But sometimes especially late game situations you need someone with traditional PG skills. Maybe Coach thinks we have enough. I'm unsure. I'd think we need 1 or 2 PGs. Then more front court players.

Just throwing out names because I think we need a PG, Alston Mason SMS is in the portal. 17.5ppg, 35% from 3, 3.5 ast/g From Overland Park, KS https://missouristatebears.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/alston-mason/7446

Portal ranking is tough and so new. Personally I think 247sports does the best portal coverage. https://247sports.com/season/2024-basketball/transferportal/ Regardless, of the ranking nice to see SLU getting top rated talent. It'll translate to some publicity and top 25 mentions. Also nice to see logical roster construction not last minute take what you can get, then surprise when no one is cleared to play.

Good point. I was thinking this is a NCAA team with 4 ISU starters and Jimmerson. Now I don't know yet. Going to depend on the quality of the transfers. Even then will they have chemistry.

The last sentence is an assumption and not a fact. If it comes true it is more applicable to football. We don't really know. SLU hasn't exactly been tearing it up since 1948 before NIL was a thing. So what are we really losing? But we need to find a way to be positioned for what's to come. College Basketball isn't going away. There will be CBB competition in some form. For the many posters that don't like NIL and all the money, maybe getting "kicked out of the club" gives them what they want. Sports without the influence of big money. I personally want SLU to compete at the highest level it can. So I'm accepting of the changes and willing to look for ways to exploit the opportunity. If the ACC goes away there's some likely shifts that bring opportunities.

Guess you haven't had ESPN for the last 30 years. Big schools, conferences were already driving everything, NIL or not.

Keep Tate Fire May Never forget

This is kinda how they do things in the People's Republic of China the government tells citizens where they have to go and how much money they can make. I googled "fear of change" this is what it returned: "AI overviews are experimental. Learn more The fear of change is called metathesiophobia, and it's an extreme version of the basic survival instinct to stick to what you know. It can cause severe anxiety or panic attacks, and can become a debilitating fear that prevents people from making changes in their lives. Metathesiophobia can also cause: Self-doubt Lack of self-esteem Social anxiety Depression Inability to adapt to new situations Isolation Inability to make decisions Failure to consider options Defining identity by external things Dependence on possessions Here are some ways to overcome the fear of change: Reframe the experience: Be more present with the experience as it is, and experience it to its fullest instead of worrying about it changing Practice repetition: Train your brain to follow a path of positive feedback rather than a negative feedback loop Write down the pros and cons: Encourage clients to write down the pros and cons of making change."
