I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say our next HC will come from a lower mid program like Samford, UNC Asheville, et al, or a P6 AC. A guy with some success or comes from a successful program . My reasoning is once the carousel speeds up more P6 jobs will become open and the hot mid major coaches like Schertz, Kelse, May, DeVries will be pursued to fill the empty chairs. I don’t think this is necessarily a bad thing, although, I’d like us to land Schertz the competition from the bigs will just be too great and too rich for our blood. Hopefully, if we can get a guy for a mil or slightly less, the savings will go the NIL fund, and the new guy will spend it wisely.

Just read an article on UL’s top 8 candidates. Schertz was not listed. I don’t think this rules him out but there were some heavy hitters on the list.

Not sure how important local ties are in recruitment given NIL. It’s become show me the money days.

Every time Curcic got on the court we took the lead. I want him around.

And where would you go if UL offers?

If we match Travis’ over pay for any coach that’s a huge mistake. Maybe for May and Kelse a raise of $800k but no one else. We need NIL $$’s .

Yeah we’re safe there. The Portal watch starts Monday, but unti we have a coach not much use in studying it too hard save for our guys entering and any A10 key players.

Thames, Larry, Gibby, Curcic, SVB, and Medley are keepers. I spoke to Medley’s dad at MBeach and he said the reason Cian came to SLU was Travis and how he developed Yuri. I think Cian may bolt for an East Coast Team. He came on strong and might want to play closer to home. Here’s hoping he holds his horses until he meets the new coach.

We don’t need a name coach. We just fired one. We need a good coach who has systems that work and can figure out what kind of players best fit his systems.

From above who are realistically possible? Definition: They would have mutual interest. Guys like Kelsey, Mays, Sprinkle, and DeVries are holding out for P6 jobs. They would view SLU as a lateral move not a step up. I think Mack falls into this group as well.

Hope springs eternal.

And as Porky said…. Thaaa thaats all folks! Game ….Season… and Coach.

There’s always next year. I hope.

And the end is fast approaching.

That was not a foul.

Got it down to 4 and TJ and Ez sit. C’mon Travis get with the program. We need them in the game.

Gibby’s cold (tired).

We’ve hit the uh oh point, down by 12.

Bad post. They are all playing hard. Cheer for the players.

It looked bad at first. They hung in there. Credit the players. They know the negative buzz around them. They ain’t going quietly into the night. GO BILLS!

Jeesh, I’m worried about the 20 mark.

It’s a game of runs. We’re walking.

Do we have any fans there?

Threepeat, of sorts. GO BILLIES! You can do this.

CofC just won the CAA and is dancing 2nd year in a row. Quite a job by Kelsey as he lost his 3 top scorers from last year. I wish we could get him but he’s likely P6 bound. Whoever gets him will have to deal pay CofC around $6mn if he goes.
