Ya this is why I'm confused. If SLU basketball truly has the backing of major doners like we hear about than we should be able to be very competitive. We don't have a football program to share money with... We won't be competing with Texas but we should be able to compete with schools of our level.

That's right. Apologies. So there has to be someone coming still

I want big bodies that can win the a10 though lol. Didn't see much in the video. So our bigs as of now are Bruce, cisse, and stef.... I was just really holding out for a splash big who could help us win now.

I'm pretty meh about this. But guess we'll see.

Javon bess averaged 3 and 3. Just saying.

Mo State also just got Cesare Edwards. Transfer from Xavier former four-star recruit. 6'9 pf. When it rains it pours here I guess.

Ya I got that vibe just following him on some social media. That's what I was thinking though. If only Lannex wouldn't of closed.

Kramer to Mo State

I'm going to hope this was because we have someone coming in that was going to take his minutes. The father being hired at UNLV thing makes sense though.

Hahaha thinking the same thing.

Came here to say this.... What if??

Fair didn't realize the women had some nit success. Not trying to minimalize their accomplishment as I'm an equal opportunity SLU athletics fan lol

Fixed it for you.

It wasn't a diss..... I was just saying that's a weird goal to strive for.... And that's just not true? But whatever I'm not trying to take anything away from them.

Ford hasn't finished outside the top 6 besides the first year where sit 2 threw everything off. I'd even argue without that we would have been better years 2 and 3. What evidence is there that he won't have success picking up talent and be competing for the top of the A10 again next year? Edit: I could be mistiming the sit 2 stuff. I just know I haven't seen anything to make me think we would slide to middle of the pack next year.

That's fine lol. Just saying If the guys lost to Tennessee by 45 in the first round of the tourny I'd have to name my first kid Schasz. I hope you are right.

Great story. Super happy for them and the team and the future. They lost to Tennessee by 45 my guy. Could work out. Definitely a world where Ford is fired and we go backwards. Nobody seems to mention that though.

Ya and Dayton missed the tourney after being 24th to start the year. Strange how that happens. I saw Baldwin tear us up a few times. Fred probably would of helped with that. I saw Perkins on the bench all of last year, didn't play at all, so not really apples to apples now is it. You're smarter than this. I won't be upset if Ford leaves. I just think it's wild how quickly everyone is to throw him to the wolves. Question for everyone. What happens when we fire Ford and we finish 7th or 8th next year with a gutted roster? Will you guys be happy then? Would hate to have a few down years ala ok state. I'll be at chaifetz for every game for the next several years anyway unlike some of you but all this is definitely interesting.

Well... There is a few reasons. And they are good ones lol see @ACE recap of last several seasons in whatever thread that was in for the list.

100% agree

Sure. But you don't make a thread called "is so and so fired?" And fill it with comments from 'fans' wishing that the man who has led your program for the past several years is fired out of the (team) blue. I really question if some of y'all know what actually benefits and what hurts Saint Louis University. But carry on. I'll hop back off.

Type of guy to call out craziness on the slim chance someone who matters starts looking into how our fanbase acts

If you are a real SLU hoops fan you don't need to keep reiterating to everyone that you're a SLU hoops fan. You just act like one.

Having a thread hypothesizing about our current head coach of the last 7 years possibly being "fired" on hearsay is pretty low brow if you ask me. But the lunatics have been running this asylum for a few weeks now so can't say I'm surprised.

The billiken basketball drama never ends!
