Wilson received a SLU offer last year and proceeded to blow up after that, ending up with 30+ offers, mostly within a few months' time. He signed with Alabama about six months ago and is now being released from his NLI per his request. I don't know whether SLU could or wants to get back into it, but he's probably going to have a very busy recruitment over the coming weeks (or days, or however long he wants to make it).
It looks like Alabama was over committed. They still need to lose one more player

Swamp east MO grad here - never equate Sikeston with Cape Girardeau - fighting words for sure.
I apologize. I should have known better

If that happened, the media should be all over it. Especially Cusamano. An all St. Louis lineup on the floor, even if not starters, is a big deal. Don't have the time to look it up or know where to look it up, but that probably hasn't happened since the 50s maybe?
Okoro is from Normal, IL and Fred is from Cape. It's a stretch saying an all STL lineup even though they did all play AAU here.

I wish I had the time to dig into the archive of this Board regarding Porter. No one was really was high on Porter. When Majerus had him fill-in, I don't believe he won a game. Back then, the board was high on Harriman. He'll make us the next St Mary's. Not to what is said here really matters.
When Porter left for Loyola, he did not turn them around over-night. His record his 1st 2 years in the weak Horizon was he had Loyola as the doormat. Then when Loyola switched to the MVC the attitude was, he is only going to make a bad situation worse. I recall watching Loyola and you could see him trying to institute a Magerus type style and the players were just not getting it. Kind of like the 1st 2 years of Majerus tenure here only Loyola had less talent. Porter in his 4th year did score a CBI championship, probably saved his job. Then the 7th year it all clicked with the final 4. He is young and if he remains he can possibly turn them out to be Gonzaga Midwest for the next decade. If he goes to some P6 school, he risks what Dan Monson & and now Archie Miller is.
Good for Loyola on sticking with him. Also in fairness to Porter, when he was at Ill State, he was screwed by the the AD situation they had. I seem to recall Majerus telling the story on one his radio shows.
A friend of mine son played for him at Illinois State. He was known as a good guy but not a good coach. Some how his contract was never signed so it was easy to let him go.

This program can do better - not saying it would be easy to identify who that is, but it’s possible. Other coaches could recruit St. Louis with the right assistants (e.g., Tate).
Not in any way knocking Ford but some high mid major is going to get a good one in Archie Miller.

Dillard adds up now that you mentioned him. No recollection of Grubbs.
Grubbs was a very highly rated player that left after a couple years because of some personal problems.

The tweet was out there, Carter did not confirm it happened, just that the rumor had been out there and why he chose not to report on it.
So if someone tweets something about you that is not true and I go ahead and help spread it across social media without verifying it that is ok? Maybe I am just from a different time

I agree with everything you said. What I have had a problem with and why I personally didn't feel compelled to say anything(outside of personal conversations) was that there was no concrete evidence. I didn't see those pictures until today, but even if I had those pictures I wouldn't have posted them because I still didn't have proof that Travis Ford got covid directly from that specific incident.
05 that's the problem I have with how this was handled. Chapley should have asked Ford about it before he retweeted the original tweet. Obviously he didnt or he would have mentioned it. I have an daughter that is a journalist so I am sensitive to criticizing young journalists but he made a mistake here. Hopefully he learns from it.

I doubt Ford is to happy with Chapley right now. Get the facts straight before smearing someone. Way to much of this going on

It's a bulletproof strategy. The NCAA have effectively turned the NIT into a mid-major tournament. Eleven of the sixteen teams are from mid-major conferences. You have to wonder if this is the long term plan.
3 Big East and 2 ACC teams that probably would have been in opted out. Long term the big conferences might think they are to good for the NIT but who knows.

A10 commissioner is good at lobbying for NIT teams but not so much for NCAA.

It has nothing to do with good programs. They want eyes, cities and in the end dollars!
They already have Chicago in DePaul. SLU and Dayton fill in and stretch them west.
11 teams allow them to have a 20 game schedule. They aren't going to add teams. It's not worth debatimg.

Never going to happen

Same amount of teams in as MVC. Obviously no respect for A10. Need to get in AAC

Who cares what Joe Lunardi and Jerry Palm and other journalists think? They don't run this tournament. Business executives do. They want the best product. The CSU Rams, Drake and Wichita State are not it. SLU's resume is considerably better than those teams. You think CBS's producers aren't relishing the chance to feature Jordan Goodwin and Travis Ford's 92 Final Four?
I think we will be first 4 in. We all saw each conference's product in the conference tournaments. The A10 was far above the MWC, MVC, AAC, and all the other non-power 6. There are so many great players. They have to give 2 at-large to the A-10.
I'm with you Matty. I could care less what the bracketologists say.

Shoot like we did before the covid and we are tough to beat. We hold a team in the 60s we should win.

UD is better than us this year. It’s not even competitive.
Which is odd. Last year we played a better UD team even twice. This year, with the same players, UD clearly outplayed us twice.
