  1. I can't speak for the St Louis HS community, but typically a HS coach would be in the realm of 60-80k, usually the camps funds then go to the assistants who are paid little to nothing during the season. That said, there are Texas HS football coaches making 6 figures, I just don't see that being the case here.

    My guess would be he's making 75k, maybe gets another 5-10k off camps (but most anything made there goes to assistants). As a SLU assistant coach he should be in the 125k range.

  2. This is interesting, I was in St. Louis over the weekend and had this same thought about St. Louis having an MLS team. I think they would get the support and it would be great for everyone. Maybe they could rent out SLU's stadium to start and provide some revenue for SLU.

  3. I must admit, I went Barnett, Macura and Martin. The 4th that I went with I have not seen talked about much, Sean O'Mara, perhaps people don't think we have a strong chance with him, but a little while back one of the ESPN analysts comments was that he would be the big score of our recruiting class and a big that could play right away for us. Hope they're right.

  4. Just a quick question: how does one get an "offer" from an Ivy League university? It's my understanding they do not offer athletic scholarships. Do they get around it by offering academic scholarships?

    You are correct, what they have done is tell the player there is an available spot on the roster if the player wants it.

  5. Personally, I think Ben McLemore is worth risking a very high pick (maybe #1???) on, mostly because of his already exceptional shooting ability and ready-made NBA game. His legitimate ceiling, and a player he compares with favorably from a physical standpoint, is Ray Allen. (Both are 6'5" and around 200) In fact, Ray Allen's shooting percentages as a freshman at UConn are very similar to McLemore's (McLemore shot slightly higher from three than Ray and had a better free throw percentage; Allen had a better overall FG%.)

    The one thing that you need in the NBA to succeed and get to the next level is exceptional long-distance shooting. If you can draft a player that is already an elite shooter, and should get better over the years, then you have to consider that. Out of the teams with the top 5 picks, only Washington is a decent 3-pt shooting team (10th in the league.) The other four finished 23rd (Cleveland/1st pick), 29th (Orlando/2nd pick), 27th (Charlotte/4th pick) and 28th (Phoenix/5th pick.) Those 4 teams are in desperate need of some outside shooting. McLemore and Porter provide the best options at the top of the draft in that department

    There is 1 major difference between Allen and Mac, Allen has always been an extremely hard worker, Mac is not.

  6. As a Cavs fan, I have two choices: 1st Nerlens Noel and would expect we will be in the lottery again next year which could be really good for the long term or 2nd Otto Porter who adresses the largest team need and will be a very good player, probably not great though. Please no Mac.

  7. Not to change the subject, but I was wondering which one of our coaches focuses on the big men? I'm not sure I feel they're doing a very good job. CE performed admirably last year, but mainly as an oversized guard (not trying to argue 3,4,5). Loe shows signs of development, but I can't help but feel that happens more when he is in New Zealand.

  8. Just read an interesting article, the SEC has hired a scheduling consultant and the league will review all non-con games for approval. Seems the SEC was pissed about their poor showing this year. Should be an excellent way for teams like SLU to get some SEC games on the schedule (see Vandy as example). Would be great to see us line up some solid future games beyond this year.
