Agree with Roy here. Normally with a young team I would welcome the extra basketball but with all the minutes these players have logged and the recruiting that needs to be done, lets put this season to rest.

Had planned on going with my boys but I too am waiting to see what caliber of team we will show up with

Completely agree. I know it seems harsh at first blush, and I certainly mean no offense to these women, but I do hope that SLU let's all the facts come to light before making a knee jerk reaction in an attempt to appear that it will absolutely not tolerate this behavior

Mizzou at #11 in terms of class We are not in the top 40 though we would have to be right on the cusp given the classes that come in at 35-40

I do Ill check it out

Looks like he had on Okie State offer http://espn.go.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/117587/larry-austin

We're ahead of Notre Dame??!!

I believe he is a nice player Roy, and the failings of our staff on the east side (or any side for that matter) are too numerous to count, but I do think you tend to overrate kids from over there just a bit. Its okay. I get it. I do the same with kids from SLUH and other schools that I see in the MCC

No disrespect to the kid, but if a senior in high school who is going to play college ball at UIC would be our best player right now, then we are in even poorer shape than I thought

Completely agree! It's not the player's fault he's here. He was offered a scholarship to play at a high level and took it. Who would do differently?

SLUH only graduating one starter from a final four team. They also beat Webster fwiw They will be in the mix

I'm a bit embarrassed at the "good riddance" stance some are taking about his deciding to leave This is a young man who just made what I am sure was a very tough decision and a decision I am sure he never envisioned having to make when he signed on to play here All the best Milik! We will be pulling for you wherever you end up

I agree. When watching him I was reminded a bit of Charlie Spoonhour and the hold he had on not only the media but the St Louis sports fan in general. Rather or not it will translate to success on the floor remains to be seen, but he will do very well from a PR perspective.
