[Rebecca Tillett hired as Women's Basketball Coach]

Christy Jordan joins the staff as Director of Ops. Again it appears we're migrating the majority of Longwood's WBB staff to us.

There are many basketball fans in the STL area that do not have twitter accounts.

This is correct, all the players have more followers on Instagram from what I've noticed.

I think we need another team with the Rams as their mascot.

Ny Toang played very few minutes when the team was short of players.

She was injured for a portion of the season, though.

Smith wasn't on staff at Longwood. She was a fifth-year grad student (2 years JUCO, 3 years Longwood). Surprised she's going straight to an AC position, but hey, I guess Tillett has confidence in Smith's potential.

I only took a brief Google glance and saw Longwood and she was young, thanks for the other info, Pistol. Also related, Ny Toang just entered the transfer portal.

Tra'Dayja Smith (spelling?) Just announced as assistant coach. Looks like she's just bringing over her Longwood staff at this point.

Welcome back, your dreams were your ticket out
Welcome back, to that same old place that you laughed about

Well the names have all changed since you hung around
But those dreams have remained and they've turned around

Who'd have thought they'd lead ya
(Who'd have thought they'd lead ya)
Back here where we need ya
(Back here where we need ya)

Yeah we tease him a lot 'cause we got him on the spot, welcome back
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back

Slu72, I hate to tell you this but the fleur de lis, which used to be a main item of the French flag under the ancien regime, is what is called in La Marsellaise "l'etendard sanglant," the bloody flag. I know this is 200+ year old news but the fleur de lis may not have a markedly positive impact upon a French recruit

Heavens, we're descending into 18th century French politics on a basketball board

Hasahn just posted a video of him doing some football exercises, so maybe another shot at the NFL/XFL? My vibes are off the charts on that!

Associate

I've never understood the difference. I know one is technically more "senior" than the other, but are there different duties?

No info that I can tell. I think all the assistant coaches were let go, no word on if any of Coach Tillett’s former assistants came with her. Looks like it was just coach and the old Graduate Assistant Hailey Deistelkamp.

Looks like she brought on of her former assistants from Longwood Ryenn Micaletti.

I would agree with you until I saw what wgstl said.

That tells me they are not happy.

I didn't want to say anything, because it's pure conjecture, but I heard toward the end of the season the Perkins did not like playing with Yuri.

Even if he is officially in the portal, I still think there’s a chance he stays.

Well we've got 10 days to find out or 11, I guess.

 I could see this creating some issues, lol. Reformation 2.0 started because of basketball

What we need to do is to get the St. Louis Diocese to start an NIL fund, and then pass our money that way. The Diocese could actually use the players NIL in fundraising, at charity events, and in community service projects. Just need 1% of that holy rolled cheddar!  jk.

I advise everyone to stop the hate talk. While I understand the unsettling nature of this whole situation, this saga is not over yet. The last thing a player who’s on the fence wants to see is a fan base that is so quick to disown them. 

This is a great post. I'm not angry at Yuri, I'm angry at the changing system.

[Rebecca Tillett hired as Women's Basketball Coach]

Do we have any info on support staff/assistant coaches? I saw a post with the team running practice and was wondering if they had said anything about hires.

The Majerus years were the pinnacle of what I'll ever watch at SLU. That was the best time. From the 19 points at GW to the final presser with the players and coaches weeping to watching them bring home A10 championships and even Jett talking smack on twitter about SVU.

Players that play for the team and even stick around(think Highmark, Claggett, Jett, etc.) are not going to be that common going forward. The game just is not the same as it used to be, and normally when I hear that said I say "baloney" here I think that's true, because the money has changed. The money is what matters.

This is what upsets me the most, I think. I've been coming to Bills games since I was 5 and my dad has done stats for them since 1985 and he grew up watching with his dad. The Highmarks, Claggets, Jetts, and Bonners seem like a bygone era, but this has only happened in the past year. It just feels odd and sad.

[Transfer Watch - 2022]

This is verrrrrry very upsetting, but I'm kinda angry at Yuri for making it seem like he was going to stay for so long.
