Well it sounds like he was nearly 400 lbs before losing a ton of weight. That could’ve been scaring a lot of programs off. 7 footer or not, if you can’t even run you can’t play D1 college basketball.

No such thing as a reach when you have only 9 scholarship players for next year with the possibility of fewer with transfers.

Worst I've seen Bess play in a long time.... Hasn't even been good defensively. Looking for him to step up here.

JGood very close to a triple double. Hopefully this is the start of a stretch like last year when he almost had three in a row.

Did uber deliver the killing blow to the slu bar scene? Much easier for kids to go out in Soulard, the Grove, Downtown, etc.

One thing to keep in mind regarding 2019 recruiting: as coaches are fired or move on to other jobs, some committed recruits will be released from LOIs. Travis might be able to capitalize on that with some names we aren’t currently considering. I’d like to see two more incoming freshmen, one sit-out transfer, and one grad transfer.

Just hope we don’t wait too long and miss out on other potential options. We have a ton of scholarships. Definitely see Ford going after some transfers with two or three years of eligibility left. Worked out well with Bess and Foreman.

Seriously?

Disgraceful.

Was just thinking yesterday that this is the longest I can remember going without a commitment in the Ford era. I’m sure there have been longer stretches but it doesn’t feel like it.

I’m being captain obvious here, but getting top four will be so important. With our lack of depth 3 in 3 is possible, but four in four will almost certainly be too much.

One good game doesn’t make up for a season of sucking. With that said, who would he start instead? We literally have zero backup bigs right now.

I would I’ve been saying that for four years and it’s yet to come true.

Ford is going to have to take more risks this spring just to fill out the roster. Then we will be in the same position next year. I’m not placing 100% of the blame on Ford but at some point you have to do something to get out of the vicious cycle. I think giving Ingvi 4-5 minutes a game so that we at least maintain a semblance of depth would have been a good start.

I don’t care who disagrees. This season has been an unequivocal failure. Blame whatever/whoever you want. But to go from almost unanimous conference favorite to looking like we definitely won’t have a first round A10 bye is a massive failure. And I’m not at all convinced that we will be any better depth wise next year. I’m so tired of only having 8 players available.
