  1. Not with the contract and guarantees he reportedly has. There is an argument to be made that some low major coaches would be well served to dump some of their salary into an NIL fund to get higher level players and move on up.
  2. He is probably a guy that could get 200 on the open market. But he is a 4th option on a top 25 team. This roster construction put him as #1/2 option and that leads to a bad team.
  3. If the numbers I’ve heard are right, SLU is in the top tier of the A10 from an NIL dollars perspective. Just another false excuse from Travis.
  4. This is what all schools need to be doing, frankly. There is a reckoning that has arrived at a lot of places already and is coming for all. There are lower high school graduating classes. Lower applicant pools. More people saying "Wait why wouldn't I go to a trade union apprenticeship and make 60-70k by the time I am 21?" Multi million dollar budget deficits are wiping out useless programs all over the country. Some of these being triggered by defaults on debts for lack of revenue because of that declining enrollment. It isn't going to be a pretty place in higher education over the next decade, I assume.
  5. If Lindenwood gets a Humphreys, might as well shut SLU down totally.
  6. Eh it is a national "news" story about SLU so its a very legitimate thread. The weird thing is that there are people among us that think like this.
  7. Don't forget national top 10 high school recruit and Travis Ford coached Marcus Smart too. And small-time-thinkers' potential coaching candidate Blake Ahearn.
  8. Would never happen, but Soderberg would have tremendous value as one of these newly-allowed staff positions that can coach/scout.
  9. Good. Gets him away from the worst coach in the league.
  10. Maybe this team just needs to only play in gyms with ceiling hung baskets. Add it to Travis's Great List of Excuses!
  11. I think you're right on the Enfield thing. He feels too Travis Ford-y to me, personally. I also am not high on DeVries from Drake. I think hes #3 of the MVC coaches. He hasn't done much without his kid and a bunch of 23-26 year olds on his roster. A lot of this will depend on what all opens up as well. If Louisville, tOSU, Minnesota, Iowa, Arkansas, Alabama, etc. open up it will send a lot of spots spinning.
  12. If I am going just off that list I think... Home run - Porter, Mack. Realistic and/or solid hire - Drew, Wardle, Schertz, Holtmann, McCollum, Devries, Henderson, Byington Don't think they're going anywhere/unrealistic- Beilein, Brey, Wright, Turgeon, Kelsey Need to prove more - Wicks, Kerns, McMillan, Simon, Morrell, Lutz Retread no thanks - Hurley, Enfield, No thanks on any of the other NBA assistants. SLU isn't hiring a current college assistant either.
  13. Dan Muller did terribly at his alma mater and I am not sure he has an interest in coaching again. Bryan Mullins is closer to being fired at SIUc than he is to moving onto a bigger job. That won't stop his dad from promising recruiting pipelines from his marginal AAU program to anyone that hires him, though!
  14. It would destroy women’s college athletics totally. The only surviving sports would be the top of bowl series football, D1 basketball, and a handful of baseball programs. But the dorks from Dartmouth would get….what that they don’t get now?
  15. If they’re smart, they’ll launch him first thing. Realistically there’s no one on the current roster worth keeping so there’s no point in keeping any assistants. Fresh start.
  16. Not a freaking chance. That dude is a bum. Lost total control of a program in…less than 5 months.
  17. The Please Don't Fire Me Podcast?
  18. Most of the old guys retiring and blaming NIL are just angry that everyone gets to play the bag man game now, not just them. They had a great run, though.
  19. When I finally said "Yeah these guys are getting screwed" was when the kicker from UCF with a youtube channel was told he had to delete it or lose his eligibility. The tOSU tattoo stuff was silly too.
  20. I've heard this from a couple people very close to Porter. Theres a reason he turned down a lot of jobs before he left Loyola. He liked his setup. He doesn't like his setup at OU.
  21. May has to be gone too. He's a disaster of a human. Pestello shouldn't get off scot free either. Ultimately he has continued to sign off on retaining the athletic director who brought to him and signed one of the worst contracts in college basketball history.
