It'll be alright

If Manning can come back, I wouldn't be surprised to see Tyler David play the CDM and and Graydon move up to CAM. I would be very happy with that lineup. It actually looked to me like Raymond Lee moved back to CDM in the 2nd half when Minors came in the game. Lee played some CB his freshman year and I know it's different, but at least he has some experience playing as a more defensive player. I kind of liked that lineup with Graydon up at CAM and Minors playing on the wing. He's got more speed than Lee in my opinion and he works well with Graydon. Graydon absolutely needs to push forward more even if he's playing the CDM. Pretty sure Sweetin just plays wherever he wants on the field. I know it's not really like that, but it's how it seems. I like Heskamp pushing up on the wing because he recovers extremely well, but he was too far in the middle of the field in my opinion last night. He might actually be the best on our team at putting in a cross from the endline. Him and Maglasang worked the give and go extremely well last year with Heskamp getting the ball at the endline and sending in a cross to Kingsley or Kirsto. I'd really like to see that him again this season especially with all the targets we have up top. Francisco has no business being out there. He must have shown something great during the Madrid trip because I see no reason for him to be playing. Adnan just doesn't get it and he's better served as a guy coming off the bench anyway with his speed especially against tired defenders. Kristo makes the rest of the team significantly better. He doesn't just "win" every header, but he flicks it on to a player in an attacking position. If Kristo gets the ball in the box, he's going to get space for a shot and if he gets space for a shot, it's going in. Agree that I would have hoped to see some freshmen at least get a look at the end of the game. It's early in the season but I do somewhat worry about the depth on the team. Kohring seems to be set as the outside mid that comes in late in the game with the lead. He did that last year and in both games this season. Hildago has some experience and I'd like to see him out there more as sub but not sure who he comes in for in the midfield. None of us like Francisco and I know Adnan can score, but he's a senior now and he still doesn't get it so. I do like Jair Minors coming in on the wing and I'd even be okay with him starting. Also I assume the preseason games don't count but Graydon does have 3 yellow cards in 3 games. So even if he just has 1 so far on the season, we certainly don't need him accumulating the cards and having to sit out a game. The card last night was an awful decision by the ref, but he's still getting too many cards in my opinion whether they're for reckless fouls or for constant arguing.

3-1 Final. Everyone logged playing time. Any reason why Anthony Manning wasn't even listed on the roster in the box score? https://www.nmnathletics.com//pdf9/2517585.pdf?ATCLID=209191061&SPSID=632571&SPID=93202&DB_LANG=C&CONTENT_ID=%23temp_CONTENT_ID&DB_OEM_ID=27200

Tatum wasn't in Florida

I guess this is the annual soccer thread. Or someone can start a new one or rename this one. Expectations for this season? I think they will be better than last season. 10 starters come back and although Robson is a big loss, I think they have enough talented players that someone will be able to fill that spot. Like every year, I think it'll take a while to get a set rotation, but there are probably 15 or 16 guys who can really contribute this season. I think the loss of Maglasang off the bench is understated. He could come in and play multiple positions and he knew what he was doing. Very smart player who really understood the game. Kristo obviously has 1st team All American talent. It'll be interesting to see how McGinty uses him as the year goes on as he sees more defensive attention this year. I don't know anything about the freshmen or newcomers? Anyone have anything to say about them? Any guesses on the starting 11? I don't remember exactly but I actually think I remember Kingsley playing the CDM at a spring game this past year. I don't know if I love that move but he is listed as a midfielder on the roster so we'll see. I hope Graydon stays in the CAM although I think he could do decently at CDM. Do we want Adnan and Kristo starting up top? I really like Adnan coming off the bench.

I could be wrong here, but I think this job will have a pretty good amount of interest from other assistants around the country. You could potentially be the top assistant coach on a tournament team who has a chance to get into the Big East soon.

I don't remember where SLU ranked last year but we come in at #207 this year. One spot ahead of Mizzou at least. Link to the the start of the list http://www.forbes.com/top-colleges/list/ Link to SLU's page http://www.forbes.com/colleges/saint-louis-university-main-campus/ Link to the criteria http://www.forbes.com/sites/carolinehoward/2013/07/24/ranking-americas-top-colleges-2013/

Lancona or McBroom. Or Evans.

Right but the USA just needs to beat Canada by more then 3 and then they're guaranteed to at least be top 2. Between that and Australia needing to win by about 100 points, I don't think it'll be much of a problem.

2 teams make it through each group from what I understand so as long as the US beats Canada, it won't be an issue

He'll be in the NBA by 2014

I know it's just discussion but I feel like it's pretty hard to have a definitive feeling either way before we see the rest of the recruiting class and before guys like McBroom, Lancona, Agbeko, and Crawford have even played a minute at SLU.

From Butler's message board Nolan Berry, incoming Butler freshman player “I’m a little bit surprised. His name has been out there for a while, though, so you knew it would always been an option for him to leave. “He actually called me. We were going to have a team meeting and I couldn’t make it. He said he was sorry to leave. I’m grateful for him recruiting me and having the chance to play for him, even for a couple weeks. “I don’t really have a plan. I’m coming back on Sunday. I’m just going to take my time and see who they hire and see what happens. I’ll keep my options open.”

He also has a full year before he even comes to SLU. He probably won't get that much bigger until he is on a college weight training program but he should be bigger and stronger by the time he gets to SLU just based on a year of growing into his body.

Celtics will draft Dwayne Evans

Pretty sure Evans is taller than 6'5

Dwayne Evans

I'm all for doing what we did last year. Run when the scenario presents itself. But this reminded me of this clip from Brad Stevens after we beat Butler the 2nd time. Start around the 4:35 mark if the video doesn't start there itself.

This has nothing to do with initials but I watched our win over Butler at Hinkle today on my DVR. Expecting a huge season from McCall.

Wisconsin Basketball ‏@BadgerMBB10 May #Badgers vs. STL and WV vs. ODU in semis

We play Wisconsin in Cancun for sure. Then the winner of West Virginia and Old Dominion. I saw that in a tweet a couple weeks ago. Can't find it from my phone.

While it'd be nice to bring in 2 recruits who I believe would both be better than Jared Drew, I'm not a fan at all of the timing of this. I'm also going to assume that Jared probably doesn't want this, but that is speculation. I feel really bad for the situation he's been put in.

Looks like we're trying to start 2 home and home series against top 75 opponents.
