    Chris May is still a wiener. He did nothing and is controlled by Chaifetz and other money guys. Glorified admin. That’s it. Guy is a loser. 

    If you’re as worried as you say you are about it collapsing because of May, I’d probably ya know hold back on him. ISU is going to lose Schertz because of AD/University dysfunction. I’d prefer to deal with the necessary evil. But that’s just me.

    Save it. You've repeatedly trashed the guy and called for his firing. When someone listed the success the athletic program has enjoyed under May you were the one who said May was a douchbag and could not be judged by anything but the Ford buyout and the buyout set us back forever and May should be fired for it. Turns out the buyout was a moot point. The guy who agreed to the extension came in and paid it, paid the new coach and funded the money to bring his players. If May pulls this off you haters need to stfu for a while.

    Nah, I'm good dawg. I've presented evidence for everything I've said.

    They are not comparable. You pick one item on the hundreds of subjects he may cover in a week. And I for one don't think they Ahearn idea is as stupit as you do. No I would not do it and glad they didn't but don't think it was completely crazy. You hate May so should we view everything you write with that in mind? 

    Probably, but I’ve been in here giving him credit for the last month.

    Comparing Frank and Slaten is ridiculous. You live in Cinncy. Do you even see his broadcast? His radio show is different. They have alot of time to fill. I certainly would not categorise Frank as a complainer. 

    Frank and Slaten both slobbered over Ahearn. They are comparable.

    Agreed, but this last part has me worried about getting some of those players here. 

    Honestly, just get the system here. I know we’re all excited at the possibility of a handful but, Id be over the moon with Avila and Swope.

    I know people don't like hearing that the longer this goes on the less advantageous this is for SLU.  As time goes by and the pickings get slimmer that $4 million buyout becomes less of an issue.  I am not saying he isn't coming but time is our enemy.  

    Because it doesn’t really matter. If someone wants to pay $4 million, cool. We just made 2 ncaa tournaments without doing a damn thing. USC wants Muss, Arkansas isn’t going to go after Schertz. We’re still probably 4-5 days away from Arkansas zeroing in and whatever school they pillage entering the conversation. With every win the price tag on their players goes up and the more likely Schertz can’t keep this team together at ISU.

    What credible sportscaster doesn't support the upper echelon? What TV personality second guesses   Olie? Kevin Slaten is not credible. 

    Seems like the Bens over at the Post don't have a problem with holding feet to the flames. There's glazing over the issue and then there's propagandizing. Literally telling SLU fans they should forget buying out Ford and, get this, giving him more money to build a roster in NIL!

    I don't get the dislike for Frank. He gives the Billikens more coverage than all of the other stations combined. He is a fan. If it's style thats one thing but coverage and boasting thats another. 

    I'd argue that he prefers to be a friend of influential sports personalities in STL than a fan of St Louis Sports. He wouldn't have spent 12+ months defending Ford if he was a fan.

    I came in a little after his actual statement on the issue, but going by the conversation that is currently going on on the subject, it sounds like, at least as far as Frank is concerned, Schertz is still coming. There has been no wavering 

    I like what Frank is saying here, I still don't like Frank. 😆

  10. Wait what?! Who had expectations for him bringing in these great players? He was brought in because we were not winning in the portal and he had overseas connections the current staff did not. Did we think Kuany Kuany was a possibility, sure. But I think the hope was that he would bring a different mindset to the staff and program. But he is an assistant who was here for 9 months.

  11. Someone was coming for their Schertz. It just happened to be a program closer in proximity than they had hoped. Just like this is really the first time we've been in any sort of competitive coaching carousel for hiring, this is legitimately the FIRST time a coach has been hired away from their program in any of these posters lifetimes and I'm not kidding you the last time it happened might have been John FUOKING Wooden.

    Tree fans are hurt that a program of SLU's stature, promising but yet to fulfill that promise, can roll in and Big Time them.  That's a tough pill to swallow.  It's a wake up call on where ISU is in the landscape of college basketball.

    Hence their non-stop whining that they'd understand a P5 move but not SLU.

    Sorry not sorry.  If Schertz works here I expect him to be hired away with the team in 3 years by a P5 school. But I reside in reality.

    Hire well Trees so we can Deebo your next coach too. 

    ISU really got screwed by the selection committee. Not only did they miss out on a $2 million dollar payday but I would expect Schertz contract would auto extend and increase his buyout. It stinks, but this is just good biz by SLU. Like hiring Schertz from D2 was good biz by ISU.

    How dare you question King Sh*t Hoosierpal in his own personal blog. And by blog I mean just copy and pasting links and quotes.
