I see the STL Series SnapBack. Where is the Knoxville Series?

Haha don’t worry, we don’t stand a chance at landing Bates

Murray State is joining the MVC, but your point is still valid (albeit with slightly longer dives)

That is an interesting fact. I wonder how many sets of brothers are out there with one having coached NCAA football and the other NCAA basketball.

I thought of another wiry, son-of-a-former-NBAer who played for a now A10 team, so you aren't the only one dreaming

Context matters, and it is hard to read Schasz’s posts on there without thinking he/she views SLU as a side show at best. Just look at the language used. And I am someone who has been disappointed by Ford’s results on the court.

Thank you for sharing the link. @Schasz's posts on Vol Nation makes it pretty clear where his/her loyalties lie.

The First Amendment does not apply to a privately-ran message board, Metz. That is why Steve has been able to censor you over and over throughout the years. I do not blame anyone for being frustrated with OP sharing gossip from another team's message board and then following up with an apparent bias toward Tennessee.

I heard BJ Edwards plans to ask to be released from his LOI because he's interested in coming to SLU

How many did he end with? I am finding it hard to locate G League stats online.

This is all pretty silly. Yuri's usage will be way down, which means it will be incredibly unlikely for his APG to increase. Plus a lot of Perkins' points will be from semi-isolation sets.

Please explain. I struggle to see how someone like Bowers is a better choice for that role than a booster with real money.

6’8” wing player who was a consensus 4 star recruit. Yes, I think everyone would be comfortable with us doing the same.

Home run hire if he can assemble a staff that will hit the ground running in recruiting. Matta is only 54 too.

Lol. I’m sure he will get a chance. The hyperbole in the tweet is the main reason I commented.

Bess was starting his sophomore year before getting hurt.

1.5 ppg in 20 games played over two years. Not exactly a Javon Bess addition.

True. That comment wasn’t intended to be specific to Butler, but it probably appeared that way.

It’s pretty simple. ADs figured out a way to offload culpability for potential mistakes related to their number one responsibility. It’s similar to what many Corporate execs do, but much more effective.

Butler has always been delusional about their status in the college bball world. I have no sympathy for their struggles.

There is good, reasonable debate about our draw. I think it is very favorable all things considered. England: Possibly the most talented team, and my current pick to win it all. Nonetheless, there will be some favorable external factors, including playing the day after Thanksgiving. Wales/Scotland/Ukraine: Wales is the favorite to make it, but Ukraine may be the most talented of the three. Wales does not scare me. Gareth Bale is aging quickly. Overall, they are not the same team that made the semi-finals of the 2016 Euros. Iran: I do not know much about their squad. We cannot be scared of Iran if we want to continue improving our global stature in the sport.

I believe the kick-off times in the group stage are 5:00 am, 8:00 am, 11:00 am, and 2:00 pm central

Sure, they have talent as is evidenced by their placement in pot 1. Nonetheless, they are my preferred opponent outside of Qatar from pot 1.

That would be great. Portugal is another beatable team from pot 1. Canada is in pot 4. It is very possible their group will end up being the group of death unless they are drawn with Qatar.

FYI - Coverage of the World Cup draw can be found at 10:30 central on FS1 and on FIFA.com. The draw itself should begin at 11:00 am. Cross your fingers to be drawn into Qatar's group, as they are clearly the weakest team from Pot 1.
