Having an MLS team with a Youth Academy located 1.5 miles from campus is proving to be a huge benefit to SLU in recruiting.

Midtown Madness: An Interview with Davell Roby
Lord Elrond replied to Podcast Bot's topic in Billikens.com Main Board
Thinking about it, it does make perfect sense. -
Look at the bright side, next time we face Duquesne, we won’t have to worry about Megan McConnell. The A10 defensive player of the year, who took us for 22 points and 11 assists last year, is now with the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury.

I think there is talent in our roster, but not much returning experience. It will all depend on how quickly the freshmen develop and how quickly the transfers adapt to the team. I’m sure other teams have their issues, but we may have more than any of them. 14th in the A10 preseason coaches poll would not be a shock. 12-13th is the highest we can reasonably hope for.

Debate Topic: Hardest or Easiest A-10 Schedule?
Lord Elrond replied to SluSignGuy's topic in Billikens.com Main Board
Very true. Play whatever schedule helps us win the A10 tournament -
We were 7th in the preseason poll last year, coming off a WNIT Championship season. We ended up 10th. This season, after losing a lot of players, I doubt we make it much higher than 12-13th in the 14 team preseason polling for the A10. Just a guess on my part.

Looks like Jahda Denis still isn’t in St Louis. I’m guessing the issue is getting her student visa. While it’s not a big deal when she gets in here for summer practice, I wonder if the issues she’s having getting a student visa don’t point to a bigger problem SLU will have with enrollment in the fall. There has been a lot said by Sec of State Marco Rubio about how they shut it down the application process for awhile, and I hadn’t heard it was back and running (you have to apply in person at a US embassy or Counsel office in the country you are a citizen of to get a student visa, and that all runs through the Sec of States office). As I say, from the point of view of the SLU WBB team, this is a very minor issue, hardly worth mentioning. If this is pointing to a reduction in foreign students attending SLU next year, this is a very big deal for the university as a whole. All we can do is wait and see.

Looks like SLU just announced a new assistant coach/recruiting coordinator, Frozena Jerro, late from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She has a very long resume with an impressive wealth of experience as assistant and head coach at various D1 programs for nearly 30 years.

Possible NCAA Tournament Expansion Back in the News
Lord Elrond replied to ACE's topic in Billikens.com Main Board
The people in non-P6 conferences on those committees would generally like to get a higher paying P6 conference job later on in their careers. -
Couldn’t agree more. The SLU Athletic Department is simply not doing a marketing effort anywhere close to what other colleges do. We need new thinking in that part of the department regardless of what you think of the AD himself.

Stu had a great interview with him. I’d love to see Stu follow this up with a similar interview after July 1st with the new president. You raise a good point about the Champions Center. I don’t think it moves the needle in giving us an advantage. I view it as more of what we have to have to stay competitive with our peers (whom I define as Dayton, Xavier, Marquette, Butler, Creighton, and a few others). Others may throw other schools in there, but whatever group of our schools that we want to be like, we need to have similar facilities to. We don’t need better, but we need to be comparable, otherwise we are at a disadvantage to those schools. Just my 2 cents.
