True, but one of their writers, Mike Seeley, has given us some nice write-ups.
-
I agree. It's a great site and is in close proximity to both parking garages. I can't see Harris-Stowe getting in the way of this one; if Fr. Biondi wants to buy that school, he'll get it.
-
Thanks for the report, Roy.
Hmmm...one verbal before November and the other in the spring. Perhaps Shaw before November and Liddell in the spring after he gets the results from his ACT? Or Liddell in November and Shaw in the spring after he receives word from Stanford?
-
I think they do. I seem to remember A-10 games appearing every Saturday on ESPN.
-
Those are some good points. While I certainly wouldn't want Brad to turn his back on recruits from outside the St. Louis area (and I don't think he ever would), I do think that successful St. Louis recruiting is a major key to our future success, just like it has been to the majority of our past success. Like Roy has said, the local kids who stay here to play really seem to be embraced by the fans and the community, and that's got to be a selling point for us.
I'll take Liddell and Shaw in a heartbeat!
-
Would you say that our chances of getting Shaw are better than SIU's, since they have a new coach? I guess Painter probably already had established a relationship with Shaw, but who knows.
Is SIU one of the few programs still recruiting Terry Evans? From what I've gathered from this board, it doesn't sound like we're recruiting him at all. I hope things work out for him with his injury.
It sure would be nice to round out this recruiting class with Liddell and Shaw.
-
Thanks for the recap!
I didn't hear anything about this luncheon ahead of time, otherwise, I would have liked to have gone. Who did the invites go out to?

The Business Journal article only mentions that SLU is considering buying the public school property. As you would expect, Biondi and Kathy Brady didn't divulge much on their intentions, but Brady did state, "We've acquired about 50 percent of the site (the original site in Grand Center). That's a lot, but it's still only 50 percent. We're reaching the point where we're going to have to give up and go on." She also said that SLU has space to place its sports arena on the university campus. The article says that SLU is unlikely to seek condemnation rights in the Grand Center neighborhood. Said Brady, "We've asked ourselves how much is it worth to put the (arena) there in Grand Center. At some (price) point, it will cost us more than the $15 million, and we want to see the neighborhood developed too."
Apparently Brady will be upading the board of trustees on the arean site plans today.
I hope that we do buy the school property. I think it would be a win-win situation for SLU and Grand Center.

What's that address again?
You know when Humphrey's of all places is unable to show Billiken games, we have a major problem with our tv deal.
-
I don't know, there are a lot of fat P.E. teachers out there...
I don't think anyone was putting DePaul down for offering a P.E. program. It's just that when a school like DePaul is attracting juco transfers, you have to wonder what they're doing differently than we are. Looks like we have our answer.
-
Actually, I think Georgetown's football program is Division I-AA. They play in the Patriot League. They seem to have a pretty good set up.
-
I'll take Carlisle over Thomas any day on coaching ability. However, to say that Carlisle needs to improve his people skills would be an understatement. It will be interesting to see how he and guys like Artest and O'Neal get along (or don't get along).
-
Maybe we've actually already moved to the Valley and are playing in the Valley tournament, with Woolard hoping that no one notices.
-
WTF??? I'd be interested to hear what the class was that Morris couldn't pass and why he was unable to stay eligible, but for some reason he's able to be eligible at UWGB. Why must we make it as hard as possible for these kids to attend SLU?
-
Next thing you know, they'll be changing the name of their dance team.

Best of luck to you, Steve! Be sure to take advantage of all that college, and more specifically, college in D.C. has to offer. I know that your college experience will be exciting and fun, and you'll have the time of your life.
The best advice I can give you is actually from the movie Billy Madison - stay...stay as long as you can. Seriously, stick around for a 5th year and prolong the inevitable. The real world is not nearly as much fun.
Thanks for all the hard work you've put in on Billikens.com!

I heard on the radio this afternoon that Lucas will be going to Oklahoma State.
-
-
Do I see the point? No. I think it's a waste of time. We might as well compare every player on Mizzou's roster to every player on our roster while we're at it. I think it would be worthwhile to compare Polk to PGs recruited by other schools in our conference, teams we actually play, but not to Horton.
-
I don't hate Mizzou, but I also don't come to this site to learn more about what's going on with the basketball program there. I'm probably one of the few people on this board who is not concerned with the Tigers or their fans.
I also don't think there's any reason to closely follow Horton's career and compare it to Polk's. Had we been recruiting Horton, a comparison may have been relevant and interesting. If you want to compare Pulley, someone who had ties to the Billiken program, to Brandon Morris, that's actually interesting - you could see how Pulley may have contributed to our current team and tell if we would be better off with him or Morris. But if you're going to follow Horton and compare him to Polk, you might as well follow PGs at Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, SIUC or any other school.
-
Nobody's questioning your loyalty or allegiance, it's just that Mizzou recruiting news doesn't have much relevance here.
-
Steve, go ahead and change the name of this site to The TigerBoard.
-
I think of Kansas State when I hear KSU as well. Edwin's at Kent State now, right?
-
That article also mentions that SIU is recruiting Terry Evans.
The New Busch Center

I was thinking about heading over to campus to see if there is any decent Billiken gear available at the bookstore. Is the new bookstore located in the new Busch Center or is it still over by the clocktower?
