A lie from who though?
why would the agent make up the MOU? SLU would profit?
why would Schertz make up the MOU? SLU would profit?Would SLU bluff an MOU?
They saying their people close to Schertz are telling them he has made no indication he's signed anything or agreed to anything.
I'm just being a dirty MBM cause I care too much about this.

oh, so still HALF A MILLION dollars less
Well I heard it's 2 mil from us. Sure our whales want to try to pay less than what they were paying Ford so that 500k can go to NIL funds. But I bet we would raise the price though if needed. Maybe.
Just saying all 260 people in Terre Haute are going to do everything they can to keep him. And their insiders seem to think the mou is a lie. I should probably stop reading that ish though and just log off for a few days. Haha

1.8 mil was thrown out on tree board.

or find a coach that can understand this chart.
This is how sport should have looked day after NCAA allowed 3 point shot.
Yeah that chart should give anybody with doubts the reassurance they need that this is the guy. I wonder what McCollums look like.

Gtfo, he’s not staying at ISU. If it wasn’t a lock he’s coming here, he’d have for sure gone to Louisville. Over 20+ years of fandom, I’ve come to expect that what can go wrong with SLU hoops will go wrong, and even I think it’s a done deal.
I love reaffirmation. Thanks. I hope your right. Some celebration will be necessary.

ISU doesn’t have a President or AD, he’s not staying around Terre Haute. He was gone after this season, something may have worked in SLU’s favor for once.
I mean our president is gone in a year. I just get the feeling he doesn't want to shun that fan base. But could be wrong. He has to make the decision thats best for him.
And regards to mvc being bad. That's a good thing for him in some ways. See wich state at mvc. Gonzaga out west. There's some benefits to being the only good school.
Honestly ask yourself this.... if they win the NIT which I think seems pretty likely since they will get a home whistle the rest of the way. That podunk town comes together to try to get everything in line for one more year. Including a significant raise. Do you think he would leave? I personally don't. I'm also very pessimistic when it comes to the bills recently.

I think if the trees can find somebody with money in Terre Haute and manage to put together something close to what we are gonna pay him he may decide to stay. Just a gut feeling. Feels to me it'll be tough to leave after the NIT success. Had they lost already I think it's a done deal but just getting the vibe ISU is gonna go all in to try to keep the band together. Could definitely backfire for Schertz though if he decides to stay and they flop.

Back home again in Indiana
And it seems that I can see
The gleaming candlelight
Still burning bright
Through the sycamores for me
The new-mown hay sends all its fragrance
Through the fields I used to roam
When I dream about the moonlight on the Wabash
How I long for my Indiana homeYou're a weird one

The simplicity of the screen or denying the screen
the dribble hand off or not making the dribble hand off
So simple but keeps the other team guessing. Gotta have basketball players not just athletes that read the situation correctly. That's what we're watching.
I love watching it but everytime I watch they do well and they don't have the right blue on yet.

Schertz has a recruit coming from Canada (don't know if he comes with him or not tho) that some believe is the best high school recruit this year. I want that kid!
Lol compare this to Bruce

I'm so done with this . Just lose.

As we would. Which is why college basketball is cool. We just on the big boy side of the table.

Larry Blurred told fans he has 2 more years while ind state fans chanted "one more year" while ISU walked off the court today.
It's a real good thing this is all wrapped up and we have nothing to worry about. Cause if it wasn't id be real worried about us missing the boat.

When national media reports on it, it's done. You can relax now.
Current SLU players? You mean Jimerson and Parker? Thames? Thames is already home.
Parker's gone bro, and playing time is not going to be a factor for Jimerson. Jimerson can talk to Dr Chaifetz about the money. Has little to do with Schertz coming. If Jimerson stays Schertz will use him; if he moves on we will be fine.The other guys? We wouldn't be bringing ISU's team in if we weren't trying to move them on to future endeavours already.
Were you watching this team this year? This is a purge and replace situation; that's why we pursued Schertz.
Maybe you meant Medley; who is definitely gonna stay to be the "back up PG" .. lol
Additionally, you do know that we are already reaching out to guys in the portal right now .. of course you'd know this if you were paying attention to the news that you claim to care so much about.
Take a time out for mental health.
Again.... where have you seen it being reported that it is final... I've seen trilly white smoke post but it's crazy to me you think things can't change. You have way more confidence in us not to fruck this up than I do lol. PD article today about Indiana State fans making it difficult for him to leave.
I was thinking about Cian, but now Gibson. Any of those guys it would help to have a coach set and see what he has in store/ what his plan is. I think Cian will go to an a10 team and be a pain. But ya I'm not super worried about keeping anyone but people are saying wether Schertz becomes coach today or 2 weeks from now doesn't matter when it does make a difference.
Who is we? We have no coaching staff? Or the staff who is reaching out is going to be let go in a few days... How are we reaching out to people in the portal without a coach or a plan...

I think sometimes a few people on this board forget just how damn good Perkins was pre-injury.
Here is his performance in a victory against LSU featuring a couple of NBA players and the amazing Will Wade. An entertaining victory - too bad there were no fans to see it.
God that team had it all. We miss Jimmy Bell.

It's already done. you are just nuts. Ford is gone, he can't hurt you anymore.
What's already done? Coach has not been announced. The more they win the more other teams will want him and his players. You dont think them winning the NIT and a bigger school coming in at the last minute and throwing cash at them all is possible?
His players raise their NIL stock with every win. Other teams could key in on the individual players. If you are a SLU basketball fan (which we are learning some on this board just like basketball in general) you want them to lose as soon as possible.
The difference between coach getting to discuss playing time with any current SLU player today verses 2 weeks from now after they have been contacted by other schools is not negligible.

I’ve thought about it, and I’m pretty sure it’s best if ISU just loses tonight. Don’t need Larry Blurred to have any more national exposure prior to transferring to SLU. I don’t want some big name school poaching him from under our noses. Schertz without his guys is still an attractive candidate. Schertz with his guys, and a few more portal additions, is a likely A10 favorite year 1.
Agreed. Rooting for SMU tonight.

And given the state of college ball, I also don't believe we are operating from as strong a position as we think. It's a problem when we are no longer competitive for/attractive to coaches the caliber of Darian Devries.
This right here. Seeing public opinion of our program is very upsetting. I used to want to defend us but can't really do that anymore. I think we are in a really bad spot at a time where it's important to be in a good spot in the college mbb landscape.

i want nothing to do with dukies. dont ever forget when pretty q snyder got caught at mi$$ouri, his defense with the ncaa was "we did that all the time at duke." pretty much went away after that. but point is they are trained to cheat.
It's all fair game now. I'm tired of losing

Does he seem like the kind of guy to piss off that entire fanbase? You seen what he's been tweeting after all these games? I just don't think he would be saying all that if it was already decided. I would just stay silent and go about my business. It's getting to the point to where if they make a competitive offer and he still leaves it's going to be awkward/ a bad look for him. Again this just all my negative Nancy opinion.
