The new roster allows for 15 players max, and all can be scholarship players. We should take 7-8 new players minimum. Build length and athleticism through the portal. Get players that are mature already so you don’t worry about beefing them up. Any walk on can be made a team manager if they want to stick around. They shouldn’t be kept and count against the roster number. This is SLU’s major sport it’s time to start acting like it and improve the team.
There were plenty of guys on ASU’s team last night I’d take over ours and I guarantee they did not cost a lot of NIL. So, that excuse is unwarranted, it’s up to the staff to identify complimentary players to fit the system and compete better. We can’t be fielding teams where the opposition is destroying us on the offensive glass. We have to finish at the rim and our offense needs players that pose a threat and don’t limit us.
