It really is kind of amazing for the diehard fans. We spend hours of our time in the moment talking about what is happening and why with the team....and no one on this board who posts knows anything 99.9% of time. Then 10 years later, podcasts like this unveil the exact truths that were happening. Brett Jolly calling what shots he was going to try in the game in the lockerroom before hand, Crews punishing Davell because he was Jollys roommate and holding him responsible for Jollys behavior....etc etc. Davell's recollection of the roster we were about to put together before Sit 2 was particularly interesting. I was able to watch practice once where Bess, Henriquez, Foreman, Ty Graves all were playing together....they look GOOD....then they add Jordan Goodwin and French. That team honestly would have been special. Honestly, I do not think Ford ever really recovered from that. We were about to field a team as talented as one of Ford's OK St teams that year. Brutal.

Co-sign this. It’s funny listening to Davell because it confirms (mostly) everything that I thought was going on. My lord Jim Crews was a terrible coach.

I just want for one time the A-10 to not lay an egg in the non-conference. I see that A-10 teams (not named SLU) have managed to schedule a few marquee power 5 opponents. One of these years, I just want the conference to go 11-1 in the non-con and gain respect. It is so deflating to watch these (non-SLU A-10) games in Nov/Dec with hope and then just realize it's a zero bid league again. Take St Joes last year for instance - they beat Tx Tech (!) and Villanova....but of course they lose to Central Connecticut and Charleston to make sure its zero bid. Then Dayton of course - Beat Marquette and UConn, then immediate lose to GW by 20. Zero bid confirmed. Given the above, Torch is right. We need to be George Mason from last year and just rack up wins in the conference and hope to win the conference tourney.

Feels like Tatum. Don’t even recruit him.

Why are the reporters so anxious to break wrong info about the schedule. Embarassing

I guess we are in the territory with the program where I’m supposed to be excited with this non-conference match up….but I’m just not. Feels like we are already in the mode where we Gotta win 30 games or win the A-10 tourney to get a bid

Kinda weak, but if he is a talent upgrade over Swope then that’s tough to ignore.

I guess consensus thinking it he is the PG on day 1? Was it posted why he left Xavier in December for a “health related matter”? I am not ready to just throw the keys to him but it sounds like Coach is.

Zero bid. Yes. Must win.

Yea saw the same. Signing the contract seems sort of meaningless if it’s a “team option” and lakers just move on after year one and he gets his guaranteed 223k. I admit I am no expert but maybe torch or someone can confirm or deny what seems to be a ridiculously low salary for being a rotation player on the lakers.

I just searched what his salary was. Base salary of 223k for the 24-25 season. i think that’s the equivalent of a restaurant manager in LA. can that really be correct? if it is, I’m seriously outraged.

Yea agree. I just like swope

I want the D2 lawsuit to work and have Swope come back. Probably low chance of that though

I just want to keep pikaar. His ceiling is kalkbrenner
