AJ Casey.

A 6’7” wing who can hit the 3. Another big noted for D. A big PG noted for D. Another foreigner who knows ball.

We’ve been looking for a Bonner type. Just maybe…. One can hope. 6’8” 220 and a 4 star. Normally we’d be over the moon. I like it. The roster is taking shape.

Welcome to 314!

8 down 5 to go. Is the PF from WY still in play?

I hope so too. But he still needs a backup. In CJS I trust.

If he was good enough for the Beast he’s good enough for the A10.

I’d be wary of any more FR unless they’re a game changer. They’re likely gonna sit, get ticked off, and then leave. Fill it out with experienced guys to provide cover for injuries. Find an Avila in training and he’ll likely stay because Robbie may go pro after this season. His backup will then see potential minutes in his future and likely stay.

Pit Bull time! Give him a proper 314 welcome!

Plus, didn’t Schertz coach up a couple of his starters? Or at least his system worked out well for them.

Hell, a Deere tractor would be a bargain today.

Someone posted Turnbull was to visit this week. And Trilly said Doelitz was gonna commit. Has he even visited?

Sorry, I missed him!

Where’s Pit Bull? Let’s show this guy we are excited!

Handles to break presses would be nice. Larry Jr needs to work on his handles and passing.

What’s Turnbull’s rating?

When I was st SLU in the dark ages the pecking order was SLUH guys looked down at CBC guys who looked down at DeSmet guys who looked down at Vianney guys. The only ones I remember. One of my best friends was a Vianney grad and constantly said Vianney kids could buy and sell all the Catholic boys schools and have enough left over to buy the all the Catholic girls schools. For some reason which Catholic school you went to was always one of the first questions asked when you met someone new. Being from Maine I made up my school St Downeast. Our mascot was a Lobster.

Let’s not overlook Gibby coming home. Basically we got two of the top 50 guys in the portal. I don’t know where Swope stands in the rankings. Of course he hasn’t committed anywhere yet. But if he chooses SLU and Turnbull commits, we have mined the portal successfully.

I think a preseason Gateway Classic tourney is a great idea. Run it like the Charleston tourney where the 3 known state BB schools, USC, Clemson, and CoC, rotate being the host school. We could do the same with Mizzery, Illini, and SLU alternating as hosts. Charleston Classic always gets at least 4 P5 big name schools.

What is the status of Willard the CA kid who gave us a LOI last year? I also read Schertz was after him for ISU. Has he reneged?

I don’t think we’re in any position to whine about our opponents. We haven’t proved anything yet.

Those guys seemed pretty excited about the game. At first I just heard Pentagon but then went back and caught Sioux Falls. If it is THE REAL PENTAGON we could have ABomb and TajMahal 79 get us tickets.

What is the big event in Sioux Falls? Any ideas?

Duke’s losing players. Shoot for the moon!

And hopefully Turnbull sees the pro of signing with SLU.
