    If we don't sign another post player for this class and if Wilmer and Forman are not up to speed, we will be small but athletic and lack depth.   With French 6'7, Johnson 6'6 and Bell 6'5.  It would petty much be a 4 guard team with Goodwin or roby occasionally playing the 4.

    Hope you like zone defense

  2. "Grandy is on the court he will, for the most part, draw their most physical defender. I think this could open up a lot of space for Loe who doesn't do well against athletic, physical defenders."

    I'm affraid I disagree. If teams scout SLU, they will notice Glaze spends the majority of his time on the offensive end of the court setting screens. Literally a zero on the offensive threat levels. Gets his points by crashing the boards and, at least last night, overplaying the passing lanes and getting easy layups (Product of playing Dukes that won't happen again).

    Basically, teams won't waste a key defender on Glaze.

    BUT, he is another body off the bench that can provide energy and toughness when needed. Instead wanting him to have a 'big' role, be content with him perfecting 'his' role.

  3. I am not sure why everyone is getting all upset about this.

    Valpo will be one of the best non-bcs schools in the country next year, and will provide a great opportunity for a 'quality win'... They should run their conference.

    This is a great move short-term. Win now, continue to build on last season's success. Get bigger games down the road. That's how it works.

    Didn't think I would hear this much b*t*hing about a schedule featuring New Mexico, Washington, (this year, a really good) Valpo, Texas A&M, KU/WSU .. local schools in SIUC & E + EIU.. and not to mention a loaded conference schedule (whoever said last year's teams are equal to this year needs to be banned)

    The schedule is working out in our favor to a ridiculous degree. THIS IS A GOOD THING! All non-conferance home games are winnable. and the conference home schedule is almost unfair because virtually every contender comes thru the chaifetz.

  4. "- some coaches will pick LaSalle and St. Joe's to win the league. ( I think that's what he said. He didn't make much sense during this part.)"

    St. Joe's will be as dangerous as any team in the league this year. VCU, UMass, SLU and St. Joe's are my top 4 heading into next season with the Rams taking home the A-10 title in their first season in the league..

    I've said it before, but St. Joe's, to me, is very comparable to what SLU would have been two years ago if the 'incident' would never have taken place.. I expect big things..

  5. In 2013-14 we'll have:

    Seniors: McCall, Jett, Barnett, Evans, Loe

    Juniors: Manning, Glaze

    Sophomores: Drew, Carter, McBroom

    I realize the importance of guards but this team looks to be pretty thin in the frontcourt, even if both Manning and Glaze are studs.

    Keep in mind that Majerus prefers a 7-8 man rotation..
