DeSmetBilliken

There’s a case pending in which if a player prevails, players who played in Division 2 could gain additional eligibility on the basis that D2 eligibility use would not count towards D1 eligibility. Swope has to enter the portal before the deadline to preserve eligibility to transfer if D2 players end up gaining the additional eligibility .

Chris May’s target audience is largely people who aren’t likely to be up to date on recruiting news, so I think it’s pretty likely that he assumed that they hadn’t heard the Green/Brown news, as it wasn’t official yet, other than Stu’s announcement.

You know that Trey Green and Dion Brown have already been reported as commitments, right ? Is that who you’re talking about?

They didn’t accept it after the first exhibition game. Have you tried it there since then?

Game was in Philadelphia

That’s unfortunate. I guess the 3 fairly small Billikens that I bought there in May 2023 weren’t enough to keep the place afloat in perpetuity. Speaking of Juneau, the brewpub for Alaskan Brewing right on the water by where the cruise ships dock was very enjoyable. Definitely recommend it.

Here are some photos of the Billiken Shop in Juneau.

I think I went to the same store last year as well…The Billiken Gift Shop. Only the shopkeeper when I went wasn’t familiar with the Billiken being the mascot for a college in St. Louis. Sadly, my SLU hat was on the cruise ship when we explored Juneau. Pretty sure that I wore it consistently for every subsequent stop, just in case I found another place Billiken-related.

As others have said, Vitello was a candidate when Hendrickson was hired. It was when he was an assistant at Mizzou. Also highly doubtful he would have stuck around at SLU though.

They don’t have the chicken sandwich at Brasserie by Niche on Laclede. That’s only available at the Brass Burger location currently at Urban Chestnut. Other than the burger which you can get at both places, nothing else from Brasserie is available at Urban Chestnut. Source: Me. I had dinner at Brasserie last Tuesday and had the burger, and had dinner last Friday at Urban Chestnut, where I had the chicken sandwich.

The Brasserie food may only be temporary. It would be great if it became permanent because it’s good food and I want to know where I can regularly get that chicken sandwich that they serve.

That’s my guess

I’m not certain about this, but many grad transfers/post-grad seniors that SLU has had have been enrolled in a program called Certificate in Organizational Leadership, or something like that. In at least one situation, I remember reading that the program doesn’t actually start until some point in the season, which effectively allows the enrollees to be “enrolled” in an academic program to be eligible, but it allows much more flexibility in scheduling.

I think I read that he’s visiting this week.

I didn’t see Van Bussel next to Jimerson, but for all I know, he could have been there and moved before I looked over in that direction. I thought I had seen Magassa down the row from Jimerson, but then from another angle, I questioned whether it actually was him.
