Did he break his nose? Looks like it's taped.

Does anybody know why Rob Loe has a cast on his arm?

Did anyone see the Burwell comments in his "Upon Further Review" video segment on Stltoday? He mentions a source that says Fox is working to convince the Big East to still go to 12 members for the 2013-14 season, which would presumably mean good things for the Billikens. Haven't seen any other recent discussion of this possibility.

What would you do with recruiting? Postpone until a new coach is hired or sign what is likely to be lesser quality kids? Lot of openings -- 3 this year and 5 next year.

Did anything interesting come out of yesterday's golf outing?

I think we have the potential to have an excellent team next year but have an obvious hole in the post. I agree Manning will eventually be a very good player, but it's hard to believe he'll go from essentially no playing time in conference to a solid starter in one year. Not trying to rip on any of the existing players, but I think we have a unique opportunity to go fairly deep in the tournament in '13 with a strong inside prescence.

Anybody have any insight into the Bills recruiting a big man for next year's team -- maybe a juco player? I know they technically don't have any scholarships, but I'm sure they can work that part out (sorry Roy). We're really going to miss Conklin.

Very strange. Everyone insists things are in order, but still no announcement . . . HTB -- have you heard anything new?

Why doesn't SLU hire an African American assistant to recruit like most division one schools?

Does anyone else think we need an African American assistant to help with recruiting?

I am a fan. But, let's face facts. This team cannot shoot, and that has become a trademark of the Majerus era. The sophomores and juniors don't shoot any better than the freshmen, so it's not really a question of youth. What do the Aussies/Kiwi add, and why are we recruiting more? The Billikens are not just bad; they're extremely boring.

???

Does anyone know if he is considering SLU? If you've seen him play, how would you describe him? I'm concerned that the recruiting trail is going cold for the Bills.

My guess is Kwamain will be re-admitted but won't play until next year. I don't think the powers that be will let Willie back after the publicity his dad generated. Curious what others think.

Any idea whether Kwamain is leaning toward redshirting?
