  1. I am a SLU hater.:)

    I do think the kids hear about it on the recruiting trail. If other coaching staffs don't know the history of this project and don't bring it up to recruits they are not doing there job. The kids in the area know all about it if they have ever read BM or listened to him on the radio.

    Kids want to see the finidhed product. They don't want to take virtual tours, no matter how cool a virtual tour might sound. They do not want to hear about promises of the new building that are only drowned out by the promises they hear from every other staff in the country. They see these things at other universities and they get to see West Pine at SLU.

    We live in a instant gratifaction society. Virtual tours, artist renderings, models, and promises of what is to come doesn't cut it with most of todays athletes

  2. What I have said is that since the start of the construction was always being delayed due to slow fundraising and that the arena construction is not completely funded; I will believe my own eyes, before I take Biondi's word for it, when it comes to the completion of the arena. I am sure that this is also is the view that many recruits are taking.

  3. They all offer a better situation facility wise than SLU does currently. That includes either on campus venue or a being the venues number one tannant. It also includes having better practice facility areas than us. It also includes having better living quaters for players on campus. They also are not located in the heart of the most violent city in the country.

    Drew you were the one that said SLU had advantages over the members of our conference. Would you please state them?

  4. When was the last time you heard a recruit say he went to a school because it was ranked in the top 75 in education? If that was the case Pterson would have never backed out on Princeton.

    Do you mean that campus that is surrounded by some of highest crime neighborhoods in the nation's most violent city?

    Do you mean that hole on Compton? The building that isn't done yet? That building that isn't fully funded yet? The building that construction was begun on years after it was promised? The building that no one knows if it will be completed on time?

  5. If anybody is calling for Mike Anderson's head for not locking up this kid.

    I have got to give Brad credit for hanging in there with the big boys on this kid so for. He needs to close the deal on at least to of these jocus or the spring period will be a bust no matter how good Michell and Relephorde(sp) turn out. This team needs immediate help.

  6. He will probably not sign till after the signing date. He has a visit scheduled for UT on April 13.

    "One of the nation’s top junior college forwards, Rodney Alexander, is set to visit Knoxville on April 13th. He is listed at 6-7, 225 and has already visited Butler, Saint Louis, Illinois and Indiana. Alexander is the only visit that Tennessee has scheduled at this point."

    I pulled this from the following site:
