Agreed. Also, this may be the best recruit video we've ever had. Yes, it's a highlight video. But after living on this board for the past 10 years, I don't think i've ever seen a commitment who's video is as diverse as this. Dunks, tre's, blocks, etc. I think this kid could be a playmaker...DE with a better stroke.

Unfortunately, it is not. I've been reading this the past few days and it confirms... http://www.slubillikens.com/sports/m-baskbl/canadatravelblog.html

Anything out there regarding Earl and Rammer making the trip as well?

I wouldn't be totally surprised if he decided to stick around a few more years. With his mother passing and him finally getting his program running (hopefully), he may have more incentive to stick around. I mean...what else is he gonna do? He loves ball. He loves coaching. Seems to me that he really likes STL. Maybe with a little success, his job will get easier and he'll stick around for 2-3 more years. A long shot, but circumstances change...

I was in the same boat last night when reading it on my phone. what the hell is this guy talking about?! It made a lot more sense when I saw the sub topic on my laptop. Just want to thank everybody for the analysis. Although i'm not really responding, I'm checking the board like it's mid-season. great stuff!

Anybody have a height? I see he is listed as a SF....which doesn't excite me much. I want 6'8"! It will be real nice to have 13 scholarships and additional depth though...

Part of me feels sorry for Willie...primarily based on this. I'm not sure if I would have been successful had I not had the two people at home constantly pointing me in the right direction. But... The kid had every opportunity to overcome it. Despite everything that happened, SLU gave him a second change and said...just prove you can be a student. We'll forget the multiple transgressions you've had...just show you belong at this university. After less than 3 months of taking what I assume to be the easiest classes offered at the U, he hung it up. You can lead a horse to water, but can't make him drink. My advice? Get your head out of your ass, Willie. For every 1 person with your skills in the NBA, there are 50 who never make it. Decide which one you want to be, get rid of your undeserved arrogance, and get to work.

Sure you can. Happens all the time to the Bills. We lost our assistant coach. He decomitted from an ACC school. He had an entire season to showcase his growth. We're probably just another school that gets lost in the bright lights of the BCS. Too bad though. I really think he could have been a star and may be our best/most athletic big man from day one.

Not sure I understand this hostility. Do you write articles for Billiken fans? Is he a competitor of yours? Even if they aggregate all the articles across the web and rewrite them with a Billiken slant, that is good by me. When you write things like the above, it kinda makes you sound pathetic seeing as nobody on this board knows your identity. Might as well start asking HTB about his paystubs...

Hahaha....now I understand where the PAYSTUBS came from. Awesome.

Great post. We can't forget about Blake Ahearn vs. the F-er from Minnesota.

I'm not worried about the assistant...i'm worried we haven't signed anybody during the spring yet. At any point in time, i'm sure you could find hundreds of assistant coaches who want to work with a legend like Rick. Finding 18 year olds who want to play for him is a different story.

Live by the 3 and die by the 3. I've said it once and I'll say it again, unless we can find a consistent inside presence, I don't feel we can reach our full potential. I was yelling at the screen all night last night for Butler to stop jacking up three's (not that they would have had a lot of luck inside, but that's besides the point...). We NEED to have somebody that can score with his back to the basket. I feel like 1-3 can hang with anybody in the country, but our post presence will hold us back next year.

And us youngsters. I have no idea what he is talking about. Good news on the WR tweet. Good luck on mid-terms, Willie!

I don't buy that. Streaming the feed that is already recorded and produced in the stadium would most likely require minimal changes to the technical infrastructure. I would imagine the bulk of the load is placed on CBSCS servers anyway, so what is it that is so pricey? Considering the lack of consistency in even remembering to turn the camera on on-time, I stand behind my initial assessment.

Same reason they use a single webcam to shoot the game instead of these same cameras. Whoever is running this thing isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.

Dude...when has anything ever gone right? Seriously. I'm the biggest optimist on this board, but there is no way you can go into next season without something in the back of your mind saying it will get effed up somehow.

Seriously? If you're a Billiken fan and assume things will "work out", you haven't been paying attention lately. LOL.

Ah, the Golden Arc's...

Soderberg had several recruits that were nominated. Not saying you can compare the two on recruiting results, but I distinctly remember seeing some of Soderberg's names on the list...

Awesome movie, but I'm a huge Bill Murray fan.

I agree with this but also think there is/was a bit of a mental limitation with him (which could be said for most of the team). When he gets over his own perceived limitations, watch out!

I could work with that, for sure. Putting Rob in will lower the athleticism, but increase our fire power. Agree...pick your poison.

We've all been down on CE this season, but I think he's starting to come around and could become an A-10 first or second teamer next year. He's starting to rebound (a MUST for a guy his size). He found his shot and has even gotten a few blocks this season. His legs seem to be coming back and is playing more like a man than a timid sophomore. I like what we're seeing out of Cody and am optimistic about the future. I think a starting five next year of Willie, Corey (two athletic bigs), Cody as a 3, Kyle as the two and Kwamain as the 1 would be ridiculous. Then coming off the bench, we essentially lose nothing except at the 5 spot.

LOL. I don't have the energy tonight. Looks like it's radion only for us.
