Louisville fans last night on a spaces said WW wasn’t proven enough, lol.

I was going to tell you “get over it, it happened years ago”

You alright?

Mo state never made sense. In the interview with McCollum a while back that was posted here, the question was asked what schools needed to have for you to consider going to, and said they needed to be in position to win the conference. Mo state is far from that(although losing Schertz and Devries is a start).

So like Frank, if Frank was a millionaire, cared about SLU, and others actually cared about anything he ever said

Correct, and this seems...off. "O my god they said they would kill you? I think I'll go there then"

GmU wasn’t all that great, so taking 5 to a harder conference would have been a nightmare for a coach to start off with. Opposite of this situation. Still agree that it’s hard to assume a number as high as 5, but they do seem loyal to JC based off of that ISU fans have been saying

Holds offers from AZ st, Creighton, Illinois, Mississippi St, Pitt, TCU, and UNLV. Also found it interesting when surprised to see our lone commit not de-commit yet, 05 pointed out that he also held an offer from Schertz and ISU.

Gotcha, knew he was close to them but just thought it was Nashville for some reason

I thought he was living in Nashville? Would make sense if he was living in Tampa area

He said originally Schertz was the front runner for SLU job. He then mentioned again that a deal was near complete. Then he said its would be announced after ISU season was over, then posted the smoke tweet.

who?

If you have the right person picking coaches, it's just fine. See VCU- Within the first 2 years after a coach leaves, they bring in someone and make the tourney + they made extra cash for the AD with the buyout. And it will happen with Odom next year. 2008–09 Anthony Grant 24–10 14–4 1st NCAA First Round 2009–10 Shaka Smart 27–9 11–7 5th CBI Champions 2010–11 Shaka Smart 28–12 12–6 4th NCAA Final Four 2011–12 Shaka Smart 29–7 15–3 2nd NCAA Third Round 2012–13 Shaka Smart 27–9 12–4 2nd NCAA Third Round 2013–14 Shaka Smart 26–9 12–4 2nd NCAA Second Round 2014–15 Shaka Smart 26–10 12–6 T-4th NCAA First Round 2015–16 Will Wade 25–11 14–4 T-1st NCAA Second Round 2016–17 Will Wade 26–9 14–4 2nd NCAA First Round 2017–18 Mike Rhoades 17–14 9–9 5th None 2018–19 Mike Rhoades 25–8 16–2 1st NCAA First Round 2019–20 Mike Rhoades 18-13 8–10 7th —[a] 2020–21 Mike Rhoades 19–7 10–4 4th NCAA First Round 2021–22 Mike Rhoades 22–10 14–4 2nd NIT Second Round 2022–23 Mike Rhoades 27–8 15–3 1st NCAA First Round 23-24 - NIT 24-25 Likely NCAA if Odom isn't picked up this summer - While Shake and Wade are outstanding coaches, Rhoades is eh, and Odom is another one we could have gotten with our resources.

Conference will want to add, but will want to add Tv markets that expand the conference. This is why I feel Dayton has a long way to go. If they were a perennial power, that changes things.

Dayton I think has the biggest challenge.

Bummer.

Wish he would stay doing what he's doing now, I like him.

Schertz is a smoke screen for Mack. SLU playing it right.

100%. A lot of people think that ship sailed, I do not, but time isn't on our side. Between The big 3 fighting for that spot, neither have all 4- Tv market, facilities, NIL/spending, winning. SLU has a better chance of getting the last one, than Dayton and VCU have of getting the first one.

Thanks to WPB for finding it, Trilly is saying he continues to hear a deal is in place, just waiting for ISU season to end. to announce.

If not for Frank, Aherns name would never even have been heard or thought of in the coaching search.

Ya I dont think any of that nonsense I mentioned would work right now, but a lot will change in a few years. And perhaps its the NIL that will make money off of the players leaving through a buyout. Would still help the smaller schools anyway

No clue. But imagine having a coach who could land diamond in the rough types, only to make money when bigger schools come in and pay the buyout. May be what saves smaller schools

This got me thinking. College sports is gonna get even crazier when players have a buyout
