Good grief, guess what happens when a coach bonds with Bernie over food?

Coach Schertz was on with Bernie today.  The most interesting comment was Schertz saying if ISU had lost to SMU early in the NIT, he might not have ended up here.  Over the length of the tourney he was able to develop a relationship with May, Pestello, Conran and Chaifetz.  They did a wonderful job of convincing him that he was the top priority.  May called him daily, sometimes twice a day, building the relationship. 
Coach's values lined up with SLU's.  "This is a job I could be at the rest of my career."  The City fits me and the school fits me.  He didn't want to be in a fishbowl.  His older son has special needs.  He is not nomadic by nature.  "Everything needed to build a long term winning culture is present.  Alignment is here from the top down."
Talked about his ISU team.  He isn't worried about how many stars a player has or who is recruiting that player.  Guys need to fit his system, even though his system is malleable. He will bend his style to what he has.  He had big at LMU, Emanuel Terry - cup of coffee in the NBA, who couldn't shoot or pass but was elite as a dribbler and a rim runner.  
Bernie asked about transfers, particularly the process and time table.  Coach wants to move expeditiously but intelligently and purposefully as possible.  Six or seven visits or more will happen in the next 10 days.  As of today, we have 2 players on the roster. We have one game scheduled. This will allow him to build the roster as he needs to and the schedule as he needs to.  He is confident we are in good shape with several players.  The goal of the schedule is to get an At Large if needed.  (Easy to read between the lines.)  We will have some good news in the next two weeks or so.  We can swim in different waters than we did at Indiana State because of all the things we have here at SLU. 
Bernie and Coach bonded over food talk.  Bernie promised to take him to a restaurant Majerus liked and they named a chipeno after him.

Steve please give us back the bad post option. 

The IU Indy Star beat writer had Conwell listed this morning on the "good fit" list, along with several other shooting guards.  The dead period ends tomorrow, so visits will resume.  Conwell is from Pike HS in Indy, will/has transferred after each of his two seasons, so look for him to set up multiple visits.  Will he stop by SLU?  I'd guess that he would.

That's a parody account

Roy Hobbs Jr, a redshirt sophomore out of Lenexa, KS, took the blame for those lights exploding, naturally. 

Schertz threw a high change up first pitch at the Cards game. No it didn’t bounce. 😀

Roster bits:
Avila is 99% a Billiken Expect 3-4 of ISU’s starters to be Billiken locks, with potential for more Strong mutual desire for Gibson and Larry to stay and be strong parts of the rotation, with heavy playcalling revolving around Gibson Strong interest in Turnbull (appears mutual) Christian Nitu out of Canada looking very positive  
 

so you must be on chris may's short list of close confidential friends to know that.   i'm impressed.   i consider myself a friend of chris may and he didnt tell me anything this specific.  

Posting without looking at the stats bites me again, didn’t realize Thames was 36% from 3. With his athleticism and ability to get to the rim, there’s a spot for him if he wants to stay.  

Mike “fan” is Billikenbooster.

An absolute home run press conference.  Those dwelling on negative issues, take your L and sit this one out.  Let us Billiken fan's rejoice.  I believe Jimerson was in attendance today.
Frank and Bob had Chris May on the radio immediately after the press conference.  It will be posted on The Press Box website soon.  Look it up.
Schertz is throwing out the first pitch tomorrow at the Cards game.  He apparently will spend a few minutes on the mound this afternoon to make sure, hopefully, he doesn't bounce it tomorrow.

Another coach that has a body resemblance to the Billiken, the last 2 (Spoon, Majerus) did well. We’re so back!

May on KMOX this morning. 
Woman's title was announced at the Zac Brown concert.
Geno Auriemma made the initial recommendation to May for Coach Tillett.
Schertz was on top of the very short list of coaching candidates.  The committee talked to a lot of various people during the process, community leaders, local press, other coaches, national press, etc.  Schertz is meeting with May this afternoon with the Press Conference tomorrow.  He will tour the O'Loughlin Champion Center and Chaifetz today.
What attracted him to SLU?  Ask Coach that tomorrow.   
Any players from ISU coming?  Who knows.

You thinking you played a part in getting Ford fired is how delusional you are. Can’t wait for the May billboard.
