    I actually think he was prudent in his usage of resources.

    Why put resources into a recruit where you are disadvantaged at almost every turn.

    Duke is a better school than SLU. The basketball program is light years ahead of SLU's basketball program.

    Duke basketball plays in a much better conference than SLU.

    The only thing SLU had going for it was the father and Larry Hughes played there. 

    If Larry Hughes and Justin Tatum would have advised Jayson to go to SLU - that would have been stupid.

    Jayson didn't even make an official visit to SLU.

    People said if Jayson would have went to SLU other players like him have would have followed - that didn't even work when Larry Hughes went to SLU.

    The Tatum family were very kind to SLUas they should have been. There was no reason to be mean and unkind to SLU.

    David Lee andBradley Beal NEVER considered SLU. Are they BAD for not doing so. No they are not. SLU just is not a destination for those type of players.

     

     

    I don't disagree with most of this, but I believe Tatum did take an official visit to SLU.

    Agree with willie.

    Back in the late 70's, I wanted to hire the Rickma.

    When he was hired at SLU, willie told me I got my wish.

    Even though a little late.

    Was not sure about the TF hire.

    Good recruiter, questionable bench coach.

    After this year, I am on board.

    The UK alums in Fl. are extremely high on TF.

    They follow the Bills closely.

    The future looks great.

    Trollpants ^^

    Trying to start out on a good note with his new profile.

    They are currently building a new facility closer to campus.  The facility is going to be very nice - close but still not on campus.

    That new facility is on the complete opposite side of the city. Closer to campus than the Allstate Arena, but definitely not close. 

    It is a very nice place though.

    Damn. I was excited to see him get some time with the Bulls. The league must be really down on Willie if a rebuilding team like Chicago won't take a flier on him for a few months. 

    Coincidentally, I compared what Willie should have received to what Cristiano Felicio received from the Bulls - 4 years, 32 million during the offseason. Felicio is probably the worst player on that team too. 

    Felicio is pathetic, so is his contract. Got sent down to the G-League again today. 

  5. College Football for me. I have never watched much because I never had a team that I cared for, while pro sports and college basketball were enough to keep me occupied. Now that I no longer have a college bball team, I'll start seeking out a football team to follow. Any suggestions?

    It is true he did many great things in his life.

    Unfortunately the twelve Federal indictments he had really disappointed me.

    He was someone I looked up to as a great Saint Louisan and businessman.

    Unfortunately when the Federal indictments came down he was knocked off the pedestal I had put him up on.

    I don't think he is an example you would want SLU grads to emulate after the Federal indictments. Sans the indictments - yes. Unfortunality in totality - no.

    Fair and balanced.

    you. are. the. worst.

    You are wrong. Playing college basketball is a privilege, not a right. Student Athlete's need to be held to a HIGHER standard than the rest of the student population.

    They are representatives of the University.

    The players allegedly made a poor choice of having sex with women who they weren't on the same page as to whether the sex was consensual or not. If this were not true then there would be no investigation.

    The players let their teammates, coach and fans down with the poor choice that they made.

    Allegedly putting the encounter online and sharing it through the University was incredibly STUPID.

    So stupid in fact you have to wonder if you would want them back at the University.

    Unless you are a fan of the basketball team and only care about wins/losses.

    Troll's daily post limit was used up before 8am. Sign of more good things to come today.

    Go Bills.

    Tilmon fouled out in six minutes of play tonight.

    Barnes had 19 tonight for Indiana St in a loss to Auburn.

    He fouled out on Monday as well, in 10 minutes.  10 fouls and 4 turnovers in his last 16 minutes of play.

    If your kid ever has doubts about their ability to obtain their dream job, show them one of Hochman's articles. Honestly, it blows my mind that this guy is paid to write. His articles are all over the place and never have structure.

    It is not my intention, but every time I read his articles I naturally end up reading it in a Jim Rome voice/speaking style.

    His ratio of periods to words has to be one of the highest in the biz.

  10. I did a little digging, I was wrong (I might have been thinking about the business school's ranking being #64ish).

    This site shows a list from 2008-2015 of each school and how their rankings have changed: http://publicuniversityhonors.com/2015/06/13/u-s-news-national-university-rankings-2008-present/

    Here is an updated chart showing 2010-2017: http://publicuniversityhonors.com/2016/09/18/average-u-s-news-rankings-for-126-universities-2010-1017/

    So, since 2008, #80 was our peak, in 2009.  Not sure about the years before that though.
