Isn’t it kinda early in the year to be playing at Tom Gola?
-
Thames already making his presence known
-
So why didn’t we press all game like ford said we would then?
-
LHJ is the new Yuri when it comes to not getting yanked after making bad decisions
-
-
Ford with an adjustment?! A different lineup to start the second half!
-
What a pass!

Why is Dalger on the team? Honest question
6’7 Rashaad Williams

I’m just glad we’re actually shooting and making threes! 46%

I am starting to think we may have wasted a scholarship on Hughes.
I disagree that we wasted a scholarship but he is pressing way too hard right now
-
Larry clearly thinks he’s his dad
-
I never really bought into the “Ford yanking TJ” narrative but it is egregious with Bruce
-
It’s a shame that we’re getting good turnouts in the student section and the team is this bad. Probably not gonna last long

Nobody is Wired’s than Gus, this guy at least explained what the refs were reviewing.
He can’t get the number of personal fouls right
-
Man, does anyone else remember when it was said in the off-season that Hughes was an upgrade from Yuri? Crazy times
-
PA guy worse than Gus….

7 3pt attempts in the first half, courtesy of Travis “30 3s a game” Ford

TV showed them spraying his back down with lidocaine or something. He should be okay.
He walked off pretty easily but was grabbing his back

5 years and Ford still can’t get him an open shot.
He did have an open shot on the break but Dalger either completely missed him or just ignored him.

Really, name some. Then name some of those university coaching staff who tweet about it.
I'll hang up and listen.
Players quoted in the article stating how it's beneficial to have NBA players around. The coaching staff was supportive and Larranga is mentioned as well. And look at this quote "Although there are only two former Hurricanes currently in the NBA—James Jones (Cleveland) and Shane Larkin (Brooklyn)—there is a strong NBA presence within the program." Seems similar to what we're talking about at SLU; two guys in the NBA at the time (role players) and yet they still saw the value of having non-alum players come there to workout. Is Miami small-time?

Open runs with non-alum NBA guys have been going on at UCLA for years. UCLA players participate in them. STL obviously isn't LA, but I think it would undoubtedly be a good thing if SLU became a hub for local NBA players to get their work in with an opportunity for SLU players to join in. Beal and Tatum could be the start of that and there's no reason we should be discouraging them from coming here.
I didn't go digging for specific tweets from coaching staffs like you requested, but there are obvious examples out there of coaching staffs supporting non-alum pros practicing at their schools publicly.

This isn't about caring about whther Tatum came here or not. It is about a university and a program promoting their program using players that never played here. Its weak. This is far from the first time Ford's staff has done something like this with Beal and Tatum.
The University or Program isn't promoting Tatum or Beal. A grad assistant (who is his own person) posted a video of two All-NBA guys practicing at his workplace. This is peak off-season controversy.
