I enjoyed reading this quote: “It’s kind of close to home. I know they had a lot of St. Louis guys go there and have success. They know how to coach.” I know the perfect school for him!

Unfortunately, the whole team might have to redshirt if the COVID pandemic doesn't change for the better quickly...

Coach Ford was just talking about Fred Thatch on Rothstein's podcast on Monday. I doubt Fred is leaving.

#9) Big X now features Javon Bess!

By the way, the MAC is projected to be horrible next year. See the image below from https://www.barttorvik.com/ (A website similar to kenpom.com) For reference, the A10 is shown below... Switching would 100% ruin our strength of schedule. No thanks! **** The MAC has 1 team projected to be one spot better than Fordham. The rest of the teams are projected to be worse than Fordham... That's really bad!!

A single 6 seed from your conference is not super impressive to our fan base. Remember your audience.... SLU was a 4 seed in 2013 and was a 5 seed in 2014...

If you are looking for teams to root for in this year's TBT (The Basketball Tournament), check out: #21) Stillwater Stars features former SLU grad manager Phil Forte #7) The Money Team features Willie Reed And because we all love the A10: #8) Red Scare is a Dayton alumni team and features a former VCU player as well...

I assume this all occurred the year after Travis Ford left Oklahoma State, correct?

I thought this deadline had been pushed back. However, I have not seen anything specific. Does anyone know if June 3rd is still the deadline? https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/29171708/ncaa-extends-nba-draft-withdrawal-deadline-awaits-league-pre-draft-line (P.S. I 100% trust Pistol... so I assume June 3rd is the deadline...but... for some reason thought the deadline was pushed back.)

Done.

I think I've posted this once before, but I don't care how much talent you recruit, you can't do what Ford has done without at least being a decent game/bench coach. See below:

I wish Madani the best.

I'm hoping we tap into a European pipeline (Andre Lorentsson, Marten Linssen, Ingvi Gudmundsson) in addition to our local/BBE pipeline (Goodwin, Thatch, Collins, Hargrove, Gordon, Okoro, Perkins). I'm not opposed to opening other pipelines as long as we continue to make local Saint Louis recruiting a priority.

Side note: I think it is awesome that Conklin has a check mark after his twitter.

Coach Ford is great. Hard to argue with this:

I think Mooney should get consideration for COY. Going from #FireMooney billboards at the end of last year to 2nd place this year is honestly pretty impressive IMO.

You mean our stretch 4 who hasn't hit a single 3 all season (I know, I'm being too harsh.... he is injured and has a very small sample size for this season..) But even if he was healthy, I wouldn't count on KC fixing our problems...

Coachspeak... I remember Rick Majerus stating once that John Manning had the most NBA potential...

SLU was supposed to lose by 5-10 points. Ford and the the entire team exceeded expectations against the the #2 team in the nation according to barttovik.com (or if you prefer the #5 [prior to the game] according to kenpom.com). I give Ford credit for how well we did.

Best players from the decade: Mitchell, Jett, Goodwin, Conklin, French Best TEAM from the decade: 2011-2012.That team was so much fun to watch. Still can't believe that team finished the year as #14 in Kenpom.

I do think Jimerson will be the best shooter the Billikens have had in recent history. However, I do not think he will shoot over 50%. Remember the 3 point line will be moving back this year.

I also predict that Fred Thatch will score more than 2.5ppg. The article also predicts KC Hankton to score 3ppg. I would bet a large sum of money that Fred Thatch will score more than 2.5ppg. I would also bet a large sum of money that Fred Thatch scores more ppg than KC Hankton Overall, the article is great! Thanks again for both of your great work! I enjoyed reading.
