Congrats J Good!

I've been hoping for this one for a long time. Davell is an absolute first class guy. Great basketball mind, too. Really excited to give this a listen this week!

It appears Cardinal Ritter is going to be prettaaay, prettaaay, prettaaay good the next few years.

So you're saying they're going to a different school for football and then transferring back to play basketball elsewhere?

https://x.com/joehoopsreport/status/1932151164432494762?t=xSmy9WemGiaO6dBEishRig&s=19 Transfer to East St Louis is apparently verified.

At least it somewhat puts a cap on things for the time being. All it will do will speed up the SEC and B10 to leave the NCAA sooner and do their own thing. Yes in theory this helps the non football schools, but schools like SLU and other mid majors are not making $20.5 million in revenue to share period. Schools like Gonzaga and Xavier have to be ecstatic though.

I doubt they'd ever release the numbers, but my goodness Thames is really athletic!!

Sounds insane to me as well for so many reasons. Just reporting what I heard.

Heard whispers today that the White brothers from Chaminade may be transferring to East Side for their senior years.

I would assume we will get ravaged by NIL and lose a ton next year, no? Hope not...

Anyone know what Gibson's plans are? Is he hoping to continue playing ball or ready to head to the office?

Haha, incredibly underwhelming. Pretty bad job of game management by JJ Reddick, not just in not playing Jordan, but not playing any subs at all in the second half of Game 4 as well as letting Rudy Gobert dominate in Game 5. A lot of changes need to be made for that team going forward especially on the defensive side of the ball. Thankfully that is the area Jordan excels at.

From the Google: "Jordan Goodwin signed a 2 year, $2,573,296 contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, including $223,718 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $1,286,648. In 2024-25, Goodwin will earn a base salary of $223,718, while carrying a cap hit of $223,718."

I absolutely cannot wait to watch JGood tonight. Hoping for a few possessions of him guarding Anthony Edwards to see him really get after it defensively. Never imagined I'd be rooting for the Lakers, though...

+1000000

I was amazed at how many quality bigs both Florida and Houston could rotate in and out without losing a beat. I really really liked Condon and Haugh for Florida and they're both only sophomores. The Houston bigs were just physical specimens and tough as nails. Overall a phenomenal Final 4.

WOW! Diving catch and doubling the guy at 2nd to get out of bases loaded jam. Headed to extras.

I guess I should have kept quiet...

What a 9th inning so far vs George Mason!! No hit thru 6, down 4-0 going into the 9th, stormed back to take a 5-4 lead and still doing damage!

A buddy of mine is a huge X fan. I asked him about Green and he said he can really light it up and that he was maybe a little small for the Big East in his opinion. Here's to hoping we found our Swope replacement.

His "what ifs" were a lot of his own doing. He passed on the guaranteed 3 yr/$15 million offer from Miami and instead ended up signing a 1 yr/$1 million deal with the Clippers after his big pay day never materialized. After that, he had the domestic issue with his wife.

Mack staying at Charleston. I would have thought for sure he was going to head back to Xavier. Moser maybe?

I think the emergence of Amari in the last month of the season probably factors in as well. At this point, unless we absolutely strike oil in the portal, Amari and Robbie are the locked in starters going forward. Dotzler knows coming off an injury his chances of being the main point guard were probably not there. I wish him the best.

My son is 12 and is basketball obsessed. We did Shoot360 in Fenton until his season started in October. We will plan on returning in April when his club season wraps up and have the time to go again. A lot of STL current and former high school and college players are there. Hank Mathews over at McKendree does some 1 on 1 training along with small groups.
