Pittsburgh is a good choice as it’s kind of in the center of the A10 locations.

Is the A10 finished at Barclay?

A good warmup schedule so far. But for the next 7-8 games let’s get games from the best mid major conferences. I agree that our likely only way to a dance invite is to win it all in Brooklyn, but we need to provide the fans with some better OOC games just to generate interest in the program.

Oh boy, UNH. Why not Vermont? They’re good.

Who’s gonna know? No company is gonna say we tried but it failed? If it does work they’ll be all over it, ie we saved his career.

Praying that’s all it is.

Good to hear Kellen’s making strides. Good thinking on an NIL deal w/ a hydration company. He’d be the poster boy for a drink that works.

Or for our Point Center to shrink to the more normal size for a PG.

That’s bugged me as well. Something in the water? Our ice cubes?

In this day and age of advancements in medical science it seems strange the MDs can’t come up with a diagnosis. Also, with the multitude of ways to find out if there are similar cases around the world and what the medical community believes is the cause I find it hard to believe Kellen’s affliction is a one off. All that said, I completely agree with the Thames family asking for privacy. Medical info is highly personal and should be respected as such. We don’t need to know the causes. We just want to see the young man cured and fully recovered.

If suddenly a mysterious SLU billionaire donor showed up and laid $25 mil on the table and said go out and buy the best team//players you can, and he sustained that level every year then yes we, any school, would have a legit shot. That guy doesn’t exist at SLU. Sadly, that’s the state of college sports these days. You can buy a winner.

Amari starts. Over who…no idea. Is Kellen’s health still unresolved? That seems strange given today’s medical science where there are few mysteries. But if it’s chronic and can’t be cured entirely that’s heartbreaking. He was showing some signs of stardom last season. Here’s hoping he’s well enough or can be treated to contribute off the bench.

I think they already have; see the 14 teams that got dance invites.

How could it? The players provide their own clubs. They could make a deal with a local CC or GC. Typical college golf squads number like 10 members. A coach, provide balls, shirts and pants, travel with only starters. Don’t need facilities except maybe a big room for a golf screen for winter practice.

That could be a big part of the problem, traveling alone is always more expensive than as a group. Air fare, hotels, dining costs ain’t cheap these days. If they have an attractive location to play in the AD should be seeking out group plans. They also should be doing this well in advance so folks can plan their vacay schedules and budgets for the trip. At Myrtle Beach we SLU had an ok turnout but still wasn’t impressive. Hell, Wyoming and Wichita had much bigger followings. A Wyoming fan told me a lot of them came as a group. This shouldn’t be that hard for SLU to figure out.

More like Geography.

1-13? Drop Tennis bring back golf!

A paycheck?

Loyola Chi is listed? 2 A10 Teams sounds like a stretch.

The NIL figures are startlingly huge. As the SI article said, $100k for a pine rider seems unreal.

I applaud the one school that had signed a kid who reneged and signed a new deal. “Hell yes we’re going after him with a suit.” That should cut down on the craziness. I have no idea what our NIL fund is but based on the guys we signed and kept it must have been relatively healthy, say in the $5 mil range.

Hell yes, bring him back. You want to see him end up at VCU or UD and beating us with a clutch step back jumper with 2 seconds on the clock?

His NIL definitely came with a snowmobile.

Rebounding may be a problem for a 4 guard team. Especially since Robbie’s not known for his stellar board work. Here’s hoping Kellen finds his cure, because he worked the boards pretty effectively. If we’re playing 4 guys that are between 6’3” and 6’7” plus Robbie they better be aggressive and skilled at blocking out.

And the above doesn’t tell our whole story.
