I know...was just wondering if there were certain schools that had assistants with strong STL contacts. Not counting schools like Duke, Kentucky, KU, etc that can basically recruit strong anywhere.

WIth so few schools with connections to recruit St. Louis, the Billikens should be able to clean up now.

sorry, I was thinking king of our comptition. I know Ford and Tate do a great job.

As a fan not fortunate enough to be living in billiken land, what asst coaches at the d1 level are known for recruiting st louis besides jamall walker?

Those c's now play in texas.

Not sure if this has been posted, but in the new ESPN 2018 rankings, Torrence Watson is now 56th overall. http://www.espn.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/221101/torrance-watson

Does anyone have any idea how many St.Louis area natives are currently coaching in D1? I know Martin at Mizzou and Tate w/ the Billikens, but is there anyone else?

Lewis said he was going back to Duquesne w/ the coaching change.

Some kids broke into a campus store and tried to steal some items. Check bottom of article. http://www.jucorecruiting.com/?p=1107 Update 12/30/2011: Several sources have told JucoRecruiting.com that the 10 players were dismissed for breaking into the campus store and stealing various items. It’s unfortunate that 10 players would do this and jeopardize their academic and athletic careers.

Merry Christmas all!

KU and major players dont want to play because they might lose, period. It is better for KU to lose to a ranked Kentucky team, than to lose to an unranked SLU team (in KU's mind).

Missouri....I wonder if Missouri would play a series that included a game at Sprint Arena and a game at Scott? The KC game might interest them since they are losing the KU rivalry series and might want to stay relevant in the area.

Before this season, I would have said Jim Littell at Okla. State.

Gangsta's in no way reflect toughness. The original Gangsta's of New York and Vegas were basically cowards who would attack when no one was expecting it.

Would rather not say - I am at a midwest high school these days.

As a longtime high school and college coach, I would be appalled if my kids thought this type of activity represented "toughness."

I think all of it could have been avoided by giving a "T" to the participants of the halftime incident. Officials should have gathered both coaches, issued warnings, awarded "T's" and moved on.

Thank you...I will earn your trust.

Not that interesting, really.

Sorry, I'm new...been reading for a few years. Long time coach and been a fan of the Billikens since they came to Wichita for the NCAA tourney.

New handle? Explain please. Longtime reader and fan, first time poster.

Couple questions I have....why were T's or warnings never instituted during the game? Players were barking all day long, what did the refs think were going to happen? Secondly, I never saw law enforcement on the court either. In my experience, these type of "bad blood" battles typically have law enforcement very, very close by. While a coach can't be blamed for not kicking a player off when his livelihood depends on wins and losses, I think a coach should be fired when the players he recruits resorts to this type of activity. It is my understanding that Yancy had had a few similar episodes in the past.
