These are good calls.

I am Social Distancing and really bored. It got me thinking - it seems like Travis Ford is mostly loved by the Billiken Faithful and hated by OK State fans who think of him as an underachieving, overpaid, bad coach. What other coaches have been fired/hated and moved on to another school and turned it around? Maybe it is a dumb topic but there are no sports on TV so cut me some slack.

Recruiting - 2020 Class (Optimal Vision Class)
RiseAndGrind replied to Quality Is Job 1's topic in Billikens.com Main Board
I love Goodwin and French but I am excited about how this team looks after they are gone too. It is going to be a completely different style of basketball I think. I think Ford's teams will always be "bigger and tougher" than the rest of the A10 but I do think we have the ability to add more skilled shooters/playmakers in the future. -

LEVI??? Off the cuff, Social Distancing, I think I would rather have Levi over Russel? -

With recruiting locked down for a month I'm guessing it will be a while before we hear anything. -

Well the Country is pretty much shut down so here's a 10 min video . It's 11 months old so I assume he's better now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=8&v=zmRaSihiEa4&feature=emb_logo -

I was really into the prospect of taking Mario McKinney so I guess I'm being inconsistent in not understanding why we would want Russell? Can @Coach314provide any insight? -

Decommitted with coaching change didn’t hear but it doesn’t make sense to me on surface -
For sure. I remember that period well. Was so excited to escape from the hell of Jim Crews. I'm afraid to go look at how brutal I was to Coach Ford. Oh well, I guess. We are one big happy family now.

Bryce Drew to Grand Canyon. I'm so happy to have been so wrong wanting him over Travis Ford. Probably my dumbest take yet.

"Basketball Mafia" does not want hockey at SLU
RiseAndGrind replied to VeniceMenace's topic in Billikens.com Main Board
My other thought is that I wish there was a "Basketball Mafia." Imagine our resources would be even greater if that was the case. -
There is absolutely ZERO "maybe" with Hughes Jr.

I wanted to say in my 2019-2020 random thoughts that Yuri would lead us to a Final 4 but I wussed out and didn't do it. I like this comparison too.
-
So basically we really want him

This makes for a good Friday!

I totally get that. It's only been a day so by next week I'm sure I'll be depressed hahaha

Just some random thoughts: Sure I expressed frustration in the moment during some GDTs but this season was so fun This season exceeded my highest expectations for the year. I am over the moon on how this team progressed Travis Ford had some really bad individual in game coaching decisions, but on the whole I give him an A for coaching this season I hope Ford gets an extension again This freshman class will be remembered as one of the best ever Perkins will be first team all conference next year I think we will have a significant recruiting win for the 2021 class I am oddly very much at ease with the abrupt end to the a season. I am totally fine with it.
