I just wish the team would release weekly injury updates. I feel like one of the reasons Thor left is this vanishing business. He was never hurt..I guess...but never used. We seem to be doomed to be forever short.

I get that this is college, not NBA, and media coverage is sparse...but what is going on with Jacobs and Hankton? Was Hankton even hurt again? I know Jacobs was...but this went on with Wiley where it seemed he stayed hurt forever. It is just strange. Hopefully we can keep winning and finish at least 4th in the league. Also, is Elliot actually walking/jogging around? It is so hard to get real injury news.

Shut it down

This crew is unbelievable.

Worst defensive performance in a while.

Now Jacobs gets hurt..with Thor gone....

This one is going to come back and bite us big time. He should have been used.

Play up and down to your competition

Well, thanks Pitt..... Should've had that one, and Houston.

It seems we may be stuck with "the cardiac billikens" all year, as this team cannot hold leads. But the A10 is bad, so that helps. A couple points. One, great job by Coach Ford to pull French with a phantom injury during that technical Saturday. HF was clearly not hurt, but taking him to the locker room let Javon shoot the technical, and we needed those 2 points. Secondly, I do not understand why Thor cannot at least see the floor for 5 minutes a game. This team is dying for shooters. Can't he come in and at least jack a few threes up?

Well, there we go. I am ready for more KC Hankton. Maybe he can stretch the defense some. We need players that want to play here and be with the program. Hopefully from here on out recruits are vetted better.

Does anyone know how to reach out to Earl Austin Jr. I am sure he knows the truth on this, as he seems to be tight with the Gordon family based on his comments on air

I can agree with this. If he can bring in recruits of this quality at a high enough volume, its ok if some do not take. But will that actually happen? Our margin for error is always so slim.

The Gordon situation is no surprise. We all had heard things going back to last spring. The thing is, this sort of thing traveled with Travis from OK state. He always has been known as a recruiter first, coach and mentor later. Before anyone flames me, I know RM got WIllie, but I think he learned from that. After Willie and S1, Rick focused on high character high academic players who could also perform on the court. That is what it takes to be a success at SLU. I think with all the turnover the last few years, its becoming obvious that Travis just wants to bring in as much talent as possible, without fully vetting people. Honestly, Gordon never should have even been at SLU, and was not going to work out. As much as I wanted him to because of his on court ability. We need a lot more players like Conklin, Ellis, Evans and Jordair and a lot less of Willie Reed, Gordon, Santos, Adonys, etc.. Maybe its time to reopen the Aussie pipeline.
