So you're saying 615 should buy a Bentley?

Thank you for clarifying that, Glorydays.

Best of luck to the kid. I am still unconvinced he is a high major player, so this does not bother me one bit.

Wrong.

Maybe read the article before theorizing about the content?

Lol. #GlorydaysFacts

Yes.

Leech has never been a real possibility for us.

Receipts...

It's cute you think you can retire Mr. Worldwide without his permission

This. Plus, he has already failed at a large state school. He has the perfect job for his ability and desires at this point in his career.

He claims he is not interested.

You aren't forgetting. There wasn't a near riot. Cheeseman is slightly wrong on our attendance as well. It was the 2009-2010 season. The attendance for the game against Missouri State was 2,000 people higher than most of our home non-conference games that year. With that being said, the huge Missouri State showing wouldn't have been noticeable if it wasn't for the blunder of allowing them to sit in our student section.

Mizzou would be a good landing spot for Pickett. However, there is a good chance him and Tilmon never play together there.

You know you don't have to post that here, right?

Bess will play a lot because he will be one of the most athletic players in the A10. I hope we don't take for granted how talented we are going to be. Jalen Johnson will probably come off the bench and he's a guy who I expect to be all-conference by the end of his career at SLU. Buckle up, boys.

Good post. I imagine the lineup at the beginning of the season will be different than the one at the end of the season. With that being said, I would bet Foreman will start and be a huge piece of the puzzle.

It's typically a good idea to play a school that will have to retrospectively forfeit all of their wins from a season. Automatic W.

+1. The deadline does not mean much.

Coach Macon has been recruiting the east coast hard. He has some great connections out there.

The field for the 2018 Maui Invitational was already announced.

I generally agree with you. The main issue is that all of these kids believe they will be good enough to get minutes for Duke, Kentucky, etc.

This seems like a major exaggeration. Dwight Howard has 2-3 inches and 40+ pounds on Bolden. If Bolden was anywhere good enough to be a top 10 pick in this year's draft he would've played for Duke.

My responses to this thread have very little to do with the financial implications of the Bentley, although you brushing off how your "numbers might not be perfect" is comical since the whole premise of your argument is about the numbers. You were off by 6% on the sports agent's fee. Surely a financial stickler like yourself would consider 6% to be a significant figure. Beyond the financial decisions, I do question what you get out of putting our recruits, players, and former players lives under the microscope to judge them. It's very bizarre. Just recently you even went so far as to PM an internet stranger (me) to ask if a certain SLU basketball player has a kid. By the way, the answer is no, not that it would matter (or be any of your business) either way.

No earning prospects if he gets injured? You clearly have no idea how any of this works. Willie, like other professional athletes in similar situations, has a loss of value insurance policy. He is getting paid regardless of whether he suffers a devastating injury in the coming months.
