Just hope one of the frosh centers are more ready for college ball than our last 2 or 3 young frosh bigs.

Too early. Heck still have 2 open spots.

Other than Jimerson thinking the starting lineup will be wide open. The transfers didn't come to SLU to be backups. Should be an interesting competition.

His coach was fired. So thinking SLU did their due diligence and he will be eligible.

That may be good news....now have 3 scholarships to give. Rivera is a wing. SLU needs 2 bigs and a ball-handing guard.

Conlin was from the West Coast, Eugene, Oregon ..... not foreign.

So, I count 3 scholarships to give. Right? The next three need to be experienced ready to contribute players ..... a center, a power forward or big wing, a point guard. If Medley is ready for big minutes I wouldn't mind another big forward. Thames, Hughes, Parker, Hargrove, Rivera, Jimerson + Medley, Zhang, Nolan & Van Bussel

His injury was an ACL tear.

As Yogi Berra said ..... "It ain't over till it's over."

Good. Seems there is another Sudanese Australian basketball player with the same name .... who would of thunk it!

28 years old? REALLY?

I wonder if Bell left on good terms or was pushed out.

Heights were not updated on the SLU roster since the late summer, 2022.

I disagree. Talent level was a big problem last year; especially with loss of Thatch and Perkins being a shell of his old self. Also had too many wings, no power or stretch forward and no backup PG. SURE, had some talent but lacked talent in key areas.

So, no recruits committed last weekend, understand more recruits in this weekend ..... who and will we get a commit?

LOL ... thinking Ford will bring in some good bigs. Be patient fellow. Heck, players can enter the transfer portal until May 11th. Lots of time to bring in impact players.

Time will tell. If Hughes can handle the ball and see the floor half as well as Collins, Hughes shooting, superior height and better defense could make it a legimate augument IMO. Collins had some off the chart pluses but he had several obvious negatives IMO.

Given he doesn't want to be at SLU, it would seem if not granted his release, he would just go the JC route or Prep school route.

There were 2 different questions addressed. May was affirming that he was sticking with Ford. He was not answering the question, "Are you happy with how the season ended?" If asked that, I think he would have said no. You don't always have to change coaches to get to the NCAA's.

That is NOT what May said. SLU AD Chris May today affirmed his commitment to coach Travis Ford: “Travis has brought a level of talent here that can compete year in and year out, and he’s going to be our coach for a long time.”

Believe there was a head coaching change in that case. And there was no NIL as well.

Thought he could contribute as a frosh. But seriously, with the portal, thinking I might rather have an experienced P5 player instead. 4 scholarships available ..... let's do what Mizzou did last year!

Well, tell me if my memory is foggy, but seems a "stretch 4" couldn't have made it off the bench during Ford's tenure ..... there hasn't been one on the roster.

Like many say, bigs sometimes take a few years to develop, especially those "late growers". From what I can see from highlights (yes, highlights only show the good), this guy, who will be entering his 4th season of college ball, could be a steal. Damn, been wanting a big true step out 4 for SLU .... probably since Cody Ellis left.

Over-reaction .... wait to complain until the rest of the OOC is announced.
