very curious if this helps or hurts the pursuit of McKissic for SLU
The rich get richer. Self continues to spit in the face of the NCAA.

Anyone spending time reading this thread is aware that there will be a LOT of transfers to choose from. It will be extremely interesting to see what players Ford manages to get.
And also from my point of view Covid is likely to be a major issue next season as well. Just think about how these changes increase the complexity of a Coach's job to an insane level, as it was this season.
There will be a lot of them to choose from, but the biggest question of them all is: which ones will choose SLU?

All 3 UCLA Assistant Coaches from that ‘95 team became D-1 Head Coaches, Lorenzo Romar, Mark Gottfried, Steve Lavin. And yes, Jim Harrick was the HC.
Later, he would go to Athens, GA and form a band called Jim Harrick and the Mathematicians. I forgot about Gottfried. That 95 team was stacked. Bob Meyers - Golden State Warriors GM was a walk-on!

Booneville had their pitchforks out for Mark Smith.
Given the choice, and I know this may ruffle some feathers, Columbia > Manhattan, except for football. Snyder is a legend. He is the epitome of more with less.

Jim Harrick not Larry Brown.
That was such a good team - the Tyus Edney coast-to-coast still haunts Missouri fans to this day. Cam Dollar, Toby Bailey and the O’Bannon Bros were also incredibly exciting college players.
LoRo assistant coach on that 95 team as well. -

Indiana didn’t want him for some reason and who knows why.
I think he’d be foolish to go to DePaul as Loyola has long since passed them in terms of program strength because of him. He should just do it all again next year with Loyola. Yeah he loses Krutwig and Williamson but they have some really solid youngsters that fit time and a chance to develop this year.
IU must lean heavily on people with ties to the Knicks organization. Isaiah Thomas, Woodson, etc.

He went to an Elite 8 with 2 kids from St. Louis and a kid from Kansas City. Yes, the last 2 years have been bad. But if you actually paid attention this year (I did because 1 of my best friends is a big K-State guy), they were playing significantly better basketball the 2nd half of the season. Again, I’m a Billikens fan 1st and foremost. I want what’s best for our team. But saying that all K-State has done with local players is lose, or that they aren’t a threat to us in recruiting, is just not accurate.
And that team lost to Loyola with a trip to the Final Four on the line.

I hate to say it but Baylor is for real too. Post COVID they had an issue but they're firing on all cylinders again now.
Check out Houston, love him or hate him Sampson fields some good teams.
How will Nantz handle the ‘Cougs if they make it to the Final Four? I’ve always considered him to be fairly impartial, but that’s his alma mater.

‘21 Elite 8 Composition:
Pac-12- 4;
B10, SEC, AAC, WCC- 1 each;
ACC, Big East, A10, MVC, Mountain West- 0.
Pacific Time Zone- 5;
Central Time Zone- 3 (all former Southwest Conference schools);
Eastern and Mountain Time Zones- 0.
A true ratings bonanza.

Only a semi?
Walton took all the blue pills back to Bob Weir’s house.

Calling it now, assuming USC finishes off Oregon, they’re taking down the Zags.
A UCLA-USC national semi would give all of LA a semi.

I'm not sure your basis for this, he's been mentioned but there's at least 1 report that Beard is the 1st choice (Mav's beat reporter Brad Townsend). Horns247 reporting that Beard will be interviewed. They have to wait until 1 April when Beard's buy out drops $1mil. If I were going to pull another B12 coach besides Beard, I'd go for Drew over Boynton.
It would be pretty interesting to see the Drew Bros Rivalry in the BigXII as three Old SWC teams look to advance to the Elite 8.

Indiana went after Stevens and Holtman. Both turned them down. They put Beilien on the back burner. Beard and Musselman won't take the job. The booster who paid of Miller apparently wants an Indiana native son. So Keith Smart & Chesney are being mentioned but I think Mike Woodson takes the job.
What’s Lawrence Frank doing these days?

He was forced out. Underperforms year after year, finally gets a team to play to its talent level, then loses to a low-major team from the state of Texas in Round 1 of the tournament.
Tom Herman went 4-0 in Bowl games and that includes a Sugar Bowl win and was forced out. Chris del Conte doesn’t play.

I think Jordan and Has have some unfinished business.
I could be wrong but after the announcement they were both moving on and after the graduation ceremony I still feel that they were coming back.
I would really like to see the Goodwin family for another season at Chaifetz interacting with Jordan and the team.
The only thing I’d worry about is an injury that could cost them money in any sort of professional scenario. There’s a flip side to the coming back coin. And being SLU fans, you expect the snakebite rather than the pot of gold. Almost like we’re pre-conditioned to expect the worst.

He has an equal chance to see a big time football game going to SLU as he does Mizzou
I’ll “drink” to that. Great post.

Mario McKinney is headed to New Mexico State. I know nobody cares, but I just posted his name a few minutes ago, so I thought I'd let you all in on the conversation I am having with myself.
Another interesting transfer out of the Land of Enchanment is 6’7” walk-on forward Logan Padgett, son of Scott, who played for his pops for a year at Samford and then packed up for Albuquerque. Since the Lobos hired Richard Pitino, there’s been an exodus out of the Pit.
With Ford and Padgett the elder both sons of BBN, I’m wondering if there might be a call made. Could be a body if FO or JB run into foul trouble.

A creative excuse to keep your job that requires good recruits and coaching that he is failing at.
Blue font, the university looks horrible if they fire coach Martin, all he wanted to do was turn boys into good men.
Blue font me here, but I think he said he wanted to go see Boyz II Men if anyone was interested. But you’re right, Mizzou is already on bended knee with all of the racial allegations and protests on campus. Could very well be the end of the road if that happened.
I couldn’t help it, CB. -

Whittenberg was 3-25 in his last full year in the Bronx. Started out the 2009-2010 season 1-4 and was fired. He took over a bad team and he did lead some respectable teams. There were rumblings of some personal, non-criminal, non-sexual, issues, but I shouldn't repeat their nature as they aren't verified.
At NC State, he got let moved from Assistant Coach to University Community Relations, so he's not that connected to the basketball program anymore.
I’m sure being one of Valvano’s sons can only help when he can give recruits “tours of the university.” Regardless that recruits now couldn’t pick Terry Gannon from Rich Gannon, having that nostalgic feel of a championship winner certainly doesn’t hurt.
That’s like AB or LH working for Universitas. -

Anyone who thinks Moser will pull 5 star on the likes of Calipari or similar should be thrown off this board for stupidity.
During their run of 2018 they did a profile on the players. Moser focuses and recruiters winners. Guys who have won state championships. Maybe not the highest recruited guys, but those that will fit into his system, have won and most importantly work hard.
Guys I’ve been defending Loyola here since the bracket came out and they’ve made a fantastic run but they are a middle pack mid major at best and Moser may be gone after this year anyway.
Lando: think about Porter in this way... Loyola is a Gonzaga surrounded by a metropolitan area with 8.5 million more people than greater Spokane. Given time, a renaissance in resources and revenue, Loyola could be a juggernaut.
That is Mid Major Madness. -

The OU and the seven dwarfs was something OU pushed at some level at least until the until the end of the Switzer era. I bought a t shirt with that on it when I attended football camp at OU one year.
It’s amazing to think that the Texas -OU game was non-conference for the first 90 years of the Red River Rivalry. Then the SWC folded and the 8 became 12.
College football fans should put that game on the bucket list. Lots of scenery at Fair Park in Dallas during the weekend, Jimbo.brianstl and slufanskip like this -

60's rivalry 'tween NU & OU best in the land that period.
Also some of the most legendary coaching in the history of college football, which pains me to say as a native son of Texas. Better than Royal v Stallings in the old SWC, better than Ara v McKay, etc.
Doesn’t get much better than Wilkinson & Switzer in Norman going up against the statesman Osborne.

When was that? Nebraska was a power back then. Colorado had some good teams as did Okie State.
Nebraska and OU won every Big8 conference crown from 1963-1988. Then a Mizzou alum named Bill McCartney arrived in Boulder and received an honorary fifth down at homecoming. So nice of the folks in Columbia!

It’s more like him passing on us. This is a smaller version of Tatum. Has ties to the program, familiarity, waves to campus as he heads to CoMo.
