  1. Come on guys, bring a win home for Otis, in Chi-town! You can do it!
  2. AJ Casey is a complete mystery to me. I was excited about a former top 100 recruit, 6'9" power forward joining the Bills. But some of the posts on this board about him being out-of-shape around the time of the exhibition games make me take pause. Anyone in the know ... is he a player? ... does he want to stay? what's his condition now, healthy or still on the mend?
  3. SLU has at least 2 scholarships to give with the new 15 scholarship limit. But who doesn't think there will be several transfers out? I see Schertz adding at least 2 to 4 transfers .... a point guard, a ball handling 2 guard at the minimum.
  4. But they don't have multiple chess grandmasters living in the area, international chess competitions, or an Internationally known chess club and Hall of Fame. Remember Jimerson pointing these things out. https://cwescene.com/directory/world-chess-hall-of-fame/
  5. Yes, remember news articles that chess was a big reason for his choice. I am positive the Post Dispatch has one or more stories on this. This first article mentions his love of chess. https://mvasports.com/news/2019/2/8/cbd-prep-national-gibson-jimmerson-athlete-of-the-week.aspx
  6. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/cam-hutson-displaying-improved-efficiency-while-helping-carry-east-lansing-boys-basketball/ar-AA1ydg3F https://bankhoops.com/building-a-billiken-evolution-of-cameron-hutson/ https://smremarker.com/3873/sports/laczkowski-breaks-all-time-school-record/ https://www.peoplenewspapers.com/2025/01/16/pride-of-lions-remarkable-st-marks-basketball-legacy-finishes-for-laczkowskis/
  7. What happened to Avila's 3 point shooting? He hasn't taken many 3 point attempts nor has he hit one in the last 5 games. If he is not a 3 point threat then defenses sag on him. And he doesn't have the hops or quickness to be effective inside in that case.
  8. I disagree on Brockhoff. At UC Santa Barbara last year he shot 78 threes and made 37.9% of them. The kid can shoot.
  9. Well gave up on that one, but kept watching. Awesome win .... makes up for one or two very tough loses SLU took before the A-10 season started. Very nice indeed.
  10. The loss of Thames, Casey, Dotzler and to a lesser extent, Hughes, has hurt the offense and defense. It's usually not good to toss in unproven frosh and expect great results right away. I thought Thames could be a star. And I had great expectations for Casey and Dotzler. Casey, a 6'9" defensive and offensive presence, might be the greatest loss, but just guessing here. Dotzler looked like a keeper. He had some good moments early in the season. Hughes, always thought he was 8 or 9 in the rotation. But wish he were here now. Thinking he would be our first guy off the bench. So we are left with a team gutted but still pretty good. But little depth .....
  11. There is no way any comparisons can be made. Warlick has played 62 minutes, half of them in meaningless game situations. I hope the kid is a player, but thinking it is way too soon to reach any conclusions. There are plenty of Billikens that shined or didn't in their first 62 minutes. Some who didn't shine became great players. Some who did shine in those first 62 minutes tanked. It's way to soon to conclude anything about Warlick or for that matter McCottry who some on this board got way excited over early this season. Hoping both are starters next year ..... time will tell if they boom or bust. Reality check.
  12. I got Peacock for the Wichita State game for $6.99 for a month then went to immediately cancel it. Peacock immediately offered me it for 6 months at $1.99 a month. Didn't take it but should of ..... failed to notice this St. Bonaventure game only on Peacock.
  13. The Big 12 is far superior to the Big 10.
