Slowry

I didn’t take it as the top spenders had to increase what they were spending. Just that players that had a great years got huge increases. I’m assuming players that had bad years took decreases. But to your point I think it’s going to have to cap out at sometime. I also wonder now if there will ever be a “salary cap” with NIL?

Yes he’s one I will check box scores on and see how he progresses. I hope he does great. I wonder if he looked better because of the talent level around him?

I really think that Avila in a different system would be okay at best. He’s a great passer and a really good shooter. But he’s thriving in an offense that accents his strong points. If he played as a traditional big down low like most teams run he would struggle. He’s slow and needs to bulk up to play down there. Plus adding the extra 25-35 feet he’d have to run each trip up and down the floor he’d be gassed a lot faster. I really hope he comes here because he fits the system so well. He’ll have a hard time finding a system that fits him like this one.

Size and shooting ability plain and simple. He’ll be a good player at that level. I could see after putting up good numbers and refining his shot he’ll play for a high level team his senior year.

I really feel like Texas is going to find out these are good players. But in the wrong system they’ll be average to better than average and that’s about it. Good luck to them and I hope they made a ton of money.

I really think Avila is mostly a product of the offense Schertz runs. He’s a talented player for sure. But he won’t fair near as well in a different offense. One of the great things about Schwartz’s offense is shortening the floor for the big guy. Avila isn’t fast. Running back down the court from the 3-point line is a lot different than starting under the basket. I hope he understands this.

Did you forget Ahern? Seems like a hot commodity. (Blue font)

I’m okay with that. Charleston is a great city to visit.

I always wondered if any other team made the top 25 and never beat a ranked team during a coaches tenure.

He’s not our coach yet and he’s beat the same number of top 25 teams at SLU as TF has. So there’s that.

Gibby would clean up in this offense.

Robi needs a lot of time in the weight room

I will renew my two. I didn’t renew 4 this year. I only attended 1 game this year. This is after about 90-95% attendance for the last 11-12yrs. There was no reason to throw good money after bad. Only reason I’ll renew is I’d never be able to get seats as good as I have again. If I had average seats the answer would be no.

I hate the committee and think that midmajors get shafted a lot. Problem with this statement is a 500 Minnesota team won’t have 40% of its games against quad 4 teams. But if your going to use this metric the NCAA should mandate these power 5 schools have to do home and home series with theses smaller schools.

Man I remember these times. I was a senior in high school. Had to use the phone to order tickets with my mom’s credit card. A few friends and I would jump in the car and drive 40 miles on a school night to go see a game. We’d park in someone’s yard because it was cheaper than parking in the lot. Some great times for sure.

Ever been in a bar at closing time? Not a lot of evaluation goes on. It’s pretty much you’ll work because you’re what’s left and available. I’m think this is what happened.

I wasn’t there last night but the guy that got kicked out would have been sitting right next to me. I was told by another person in our section that all he said was “your at SLU not Dayton” twice. He does have a loud voice. But in all the years I’ve sat by him I’ve never heard him get personal or cuss at the officials. Was told he didn’t do either.

Wonder who would be better Ahearn or Carrawell?

I wonder if we are the only team that was top 25 that hasn’t beaten a 25 team in 8yrs?

How do you know he did anything? Charged not convicted.

I was thinking today about an easy way to find this. Here are my thoughts. Total up what you’d spend going to a home game. Parking $15. Soda and popcorn for the kids. $15 A beer and pretzel $17 etc. Don’t go to the next 2-3 games. Take the money you’d usually spend at the game and donate it to the billboard. Attendance takes a hit. We get a billboard. And nobody spent anything more than normal.

Is there a bulletin board fund setup yet?

Not sure but the was a blond woman with him.

Not an update but good to see Mike Crawford at the game tonight.

Need two for tonight if anyone has any. Thank you.
