Disagree!

We were promised the candidate the most would be satisfied with. It's Schertz or bust

Josh Schertz or total failure. Get right boosters and May. Get it right.

Key word basketball but solid essay on unrelated topics. A for effort F for execution

Schertz or absolute total failure

Vandy basketball feels like a slightly lesser version than DePaul basketball. Great school, great area, bad basketball

How many jobs out there are better than the SLU job currently? Louisville, Michigan, Washington, Ohio St (3 big ten teams for next year) for sure. Oklahoma St has money but kind of seems like a dead spot. Stanford is a good job but requires a unique candidate. West Virginia is just pretty meh. I would definitely not put Vandy ahead of SLU. This is currently a top 5 job on the market. Go get a stud.

The ceiling was capped with guys like Crews and Ford. 99% of people knew that when they were hired even if they were fans of the hire. The ceiling is capped with a guy like Bryce Drew. I've never been overly impressed with him as it is but he's not the guy to elevate you consistently. A Chris Mack (unlikely in my opinion) or Josh Schertz (per national insiders, he WANTS the SLU job) gives you that potential high ceiling guy. Schertz probably has a little more downside as he is unproven but I mean how much further is there to go? Does anyone here care if we are ranked 270th in kenpom or 210th? Schertz wants the job. Many fans want Schertz. He's for once an ascending guy. He has a high ceiling. The floor can't get much lower. Give him the job.

Josh Schertz or GTFO

I'm fully with you here. I did think a guy like Holtmann was going to be a serious candidate as he seems like a typical May hire and a guy boosters could get behind. But with him off the board I just don't see any other scenario. Also maybe this is wishful thinking but the fans were right about Ford and I feel a lot of times after a fired coach, you kind of go in the opposite direction. Scherz seems like a very big opposite of Ford.

I'd rather the players get straight C's. Good grades mean not enough attention to basketball

It's a hard day for people like him. I'll be patient.

Wait they're doing the Friday off day again? Wow

There are guys I'd be fine with keeping like Jimerson, Medley, Thames, SVB/Zhang. But none of those are guys I feel any sort of NEED to keep.

Hard pass on Bryce Drew.

The pope did it again!!!!

Yeah it's an interesting situation. Sounds like Porter is saying no. DeVries and Mack seem like they're shooting higher or waiting for a perfect fit. McCollum is likely off the board. I'm all for getting someone on board ASAP but if things fall apart with Schertz, we need to be patient and not panic on a Tom Crean type move.

Build the statue now - Schertz Multiple Sweet 16 banners - Mack, Moser, Wade, DeVries I can get on board - Kelsey, Kerns Burn it to the ground - Everyone else

Everyone is essentially in the portal even if they aren't formally in the portal

We'll see a lot of turnover between the portal and the new coach. Who on the current roster do you think stays? Who do you want to stay? What numbers will Swope and Avila take?

Holtmann to DePaul and McCollum to Missouri St it appears

Schertz isn't quite as D1 proven as the other guys but for once it seems like we'd be hiring an ascending guy. That's always a little risky but let's be aggressive.

But it doesn't really matter how or why it happened. It's just that trying to keep everything a deep secret and trying to control the media just doesn't work. And then Ford got put in an awkward position during his press conference. It's just a failure.
