With all due respect, what a pointless message this is

I'm loving how organized the coaching staff is with the athletic department, social media, local media, etc. It's a huge change from anything we've seen and it's great.

The now consistent use of 314 is 10000000000000000000000 times better than the use of team blue. So glad Schertz retired that immediately

It's a blue green sun sky type off-season for the team 

The end of team blue is better than any recruit

I was there. About what I expected. 

Probably 60-70 people in total, wide age range. I'm 28 and was older than ~15% of the room. 

Schertz accidentally went to the downtown MAC and didn't get to the Des Peres location until about 6. Troy spoke a bit, Chris May spoke a bit, then Schertz took the wheel. Good speech, dude is very funny, then he took a Q&A. Most of the questions were pretty worthless but he did drop a couple of noteworthy things:

1) Last year's ISU team was paid a combined 80k in NIL. Their market value today is as much as 2 mill. 
2) One of the recent recruits on campus brought their 12YO sister who made a fat joke towards Schertz - he found it very funny (as did I).
3) Gibby was scheduled for a visit to UConn this coming weekend before recommitting to SLU. We beat the two-time reigning national champion out for a transfer portal player, and arguably more importantly the two-time reigning national champion was interested in our shooting guard. Think about that next time anyone wants to talk down on Gibby. 
4) Coach is still VERY confident that we get commitments from RA and IS this week. I'm very confident that those commitments will open the floodgates. 
5) I asked coach 1 on 1 afterwards what he thought of the Billiken vs. "Team Blue" and it sounds like we can finally but that bullshite boring @$$ moniker to rest.  
6) Charlie Gitto's is his favorite restaurant so far. Had it during the MVC tournament. 

The BVF desperately needs new leadership. And we need to land some players ASAP too. 

Trilly predicts Swope to SLU

I feel like there is maybe a little creative over-emphasizing on the uncertainty he had regarding SLU at the beginning and the value that he got out of him and May talking every day for the next few weeks. It's a smart thing to do because it makes him look like there was a larger chance he was going back to ISU and it makes Chris May look good. It's a win/win for him to cast it this way and all coaches are good salesmen.
I'm more inclined to believe that when Trilly and all the national media guys said it was close to a done deal shortly after they didn't make the dance, it was really done at that point.

Gibson wouldn’t commit without the boyz comin. 

Steve please give us back the bad post option.
