Winning. We would accomplish it by winning. But we haven't figured that part of the equation out yet. Until then the rest are just details.

Anya embracing a leadership roll even when on the bench.

Ok.........fans are going to really like Brady Dunlap, at least on offense.

Sharma not at all afraid to shoot. Shot selection may be something to keep an eye on with him in real games. Could be imagining it but Robbie looks to be a bit leaner. Not surprisingly Laczkowski, Kerr, and Diakite all need a lot of time in the weight room. As all freshman bigs do.

Based on Stu's story today it sounds like he got caught without a chair when the music stopped. Then his people, knowing he isn't ready for serious minutes anywhere, wanted to get him to the best place to develop even if it meant less $$. So a case where coach's reputation for developing bigs made all the difference.

Hard to argue we didn't have a MVC roster last year when most of our guys either came from or will end up at, Valley schools.

Trey Green and Dion Brown in the fold per Stu

Still feels like we need another guard pretty badly. -
Article About NIL Being Death of Tournament Cinderellas
ARon replied to cgeldmacher's topic in Billikens.com Main Board
Interesting article in The Athletic today stating that basketball only schools are seen to potentially have an advantage going forward. The idea being that they can dump a higher % of their rev share money into BB that football schools will be willing to do. Most schools that have football are expected to allocate about $3 million on men's basketball and let NIL make up the rest. The article also stated that the expected cost to be competitive at a high major level will be $5-8 million with some teams spending up to 10. it poses the question what is to stop Villanova or a St. John's from dumping $15 mi just into men's bball. "Even several Atlantic 10 programs are expected to set aside $3-4 million in revenue sharing for their basketball programs." -

At no point this year have Schertz's comment indicated that he was in denial about what this team was or what it was lacking. Being able to acknowledge the shortcomings and having a plan to address them is a big upgrade from Ford. He was often in denial about our team or simple at a loss on what to do about it. That alone gives me more hope for the future with Schertz.

I appreciate the thought behind this sentiment but it ultimately sounds like - "SLU should just give up."

Who cares? It’s all about getting to see more games. Even winning a tournament outside the big dance is barely seen as an accomplishment. More time too appreciate Giby and Swope and hopefully more growth for McCottry and Warlick.

GDT: A-10 Tournament: SLU v. Loyola Chicago
ARon replied to GDT Bot's topic in Billikens.com Main Board
A team that depends on threes and with no bench was always going to be up against it in a weekend tournament. -
Guards and guards and then maybe another guard for good measure.
-
Robbie, Kobe, and Kalu should stay and hopefully we can hang onto Amari. You can't count on getting anything from Dotzler or Thames next season. Hopefully they are both here, healthy, and performing at a high level. But you absolutely can't count on any of that. Coach is going to have to go out and get two A10 quality starting guards from the portal this off-season if you want to have high hopes for next year. There is just no way around it.

OT: GEORGE MASON ATHLETICS $250 M PROJECT ANNOUNCED
ARon replied to slu92's topic in Billikens.com Main Board
The right leaders and vision are certainly required but George Mason being a public research university that is quite literally more than twice as big as SLU has a lot to do with it.
