Quality Is Job 1

I prefer to add, "Heh!" to my posts to indicate sarcasm or tongue-in-cheek. Search engines and profile content pages don't show the font colors, and some posters don't understand the significance thereof.

Linssen didn't commit until after Lorentsson did, but he's mentioned.

They project Fred Thatch as a starter. ....Interesting!

I didn't interpret his statement to mean that French is the only rebounder; I believe he means he would start just one rebounder along with three shooters and Collins.

(Not sure why my previous response was deleted. All I said was, "...the heck?!") I mean, bench Goodwin? Seriously?! ...the heck?!

Your attitude demonstrates no empathy for the trauma he experienced. Not everyone had everything set in perfect order for them, and not everyone learns at an early age to cope with so much weight and pressure. But, sure, some people will find it easy to put every last ounce of the blame on him.

That officially puts the lid on the stinky Jim Crews era (post-sons of Majerus). No recap desired.

I'm still not over the 2014 Quarterfinal.

Well, there were 6 (glasses of) water, along with a Red Bull and a couple of other energy drink orders.

Tate: Jimerson (with Collins passing him the ball) is a cross between H Waldman and Scott Highmark. Me: WOOOWWWW

I don't think you're wrong. All I'm saying is that my optimism is rather cautious until Thatch is suited up in games come January (or whenever the season starts, or resumes, or come what may).

Phillip Russell is a 2020 recruit from Vashon.

Yeah, unfortunately, whether Fred Thatch will be able to go remains in question. While we're hoping that he'll be able to play and contribute to his full potential, but with the tenuous nature of his condition and the strangeness of trying to workout and scrimmage in these times, it's probably fair to wonder he's a lock to return for a redshirt sophomore season.

Perhaps more so for Lorentssen than Linssen, considering that Linssen has already been in the country for four years and has earned a degree. He's already resided in the U.S. for some time. I wonder if he even took all of his belonging out of the country.

Even Johnnie Parker was (listed at) 6-6 or 6-7. He also was taller than Dobbs (6-3).

Kelly Thames was 6-7 coming out of Jennings, and by the time he finished his college days, he was a legitimate 6-8. (He's taller than French, Conklin, etc. He definitely was nowhere near Dobbs in height.)

He could still be growing.

30 points per game as a sophomore!

I'm sure cheeseman was just messing with you hmart. Still, thinking further about it, even with the proliferation of phone necessitating the need for additional area codes, it doesn't tend to change the area's "identity." The St. Louis area will always been known as "The 3-1-4," even with some phone numbers having 636 area codes (including Chesterfield and other places besides St. Charles County [which still has some 314 numbers, right?]).

Look up the page to Pakapablo's post; I suppose slu72 is commenting on that.

This doesn't ring entirely true, Roy. Justin Love committed to SLU and played his first season under Spoon: 1998-99, the year after Hughes. Maybe Romar had tried recruiting Love to Pepperdine, but when Love chose SLU, there was no way of knowing that another year later Romar would become SLU's coach. It was definitely Josh Fisher who had signed with Romar at Pepperdine and followed Romar to SLU (and had to sit out a year, which he nearly lost in eligibility, until Pepperdine finally agreed to grant him a waiver).

That brings the Jim Crews era to a close. While I guess Zeke Moore should still have a year of eligibility left (I'm not sure what he's doing — @thetorch?), he never played for Crews.

I'm almost completely certain that was when Soderberg was coach — probably during his freshman season.

Sad news. I read the title and thought it had to be referring to someone else!
