Billiken Rich Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 There's not much to take from the 1st exhibition game except that Conklin will be 1st team all A-10. He was unstoppable. If you had to compare him to someone at about the same talent level as Brian at this point in his career, would you say Pippin? Rodman? Shaq?

I like what Conklin and Evans and Jett bring to the game-hope we learn to wrap ankles better for Conklin's sake-that injury towatrds the end of the game gave me cause for concern. Would they give us our money back if Conklin and Cassity can't suit up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slu72 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 It seems like we go through this every year. Some fans over react to how we look in these exhibition games. Most teams don't look good in these game, especially young teams. I remember a couple of years ago, the sky was falling after one of the exhibition games. A week or two later we beat Boston College. Last year, same thing. Looked terrible, a week or two later handle Nebraska. I wouldn't be shocked if we beat Georgia in a couple of weeks. The intensity will improve and the quality of play will get better. I am not expecting miracles this season and there will be a lot of inconsistency, but if KM comes back, I expect we'll be very tough to play against late in the season. Ace, GA would have been tough w/ WR and KM. Not saying it can't be done, but they're good. And Thompkins is solid. Would not be surprised to see him a 2nd team All American at end of year. Got to find a way to get him in foul trouble so he's on the bench most of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BERNY Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Not only does it not matter, it doesn't matter. Exhibition, Berny!!! Now leave like you said you were going to a long time ago.Really all I was doing was clarifying. SLU should play Lindenwood for an exhibition. That would be interesting.

I am aware of the preseason hype about Georgia. They will be good. I am not predicting a win, just saying it wouldn't surprise me like a win at Xavier would. Our game will be Georgia's first true road game and they were poor on the road last year. I will be disappointed if it is not at least a game we have a shot to win down the stretch.

BERNY, are you Brett Thompson's brother? I thought that's who you might be a few weeks ago when you were bashing on Willie but today your comment knowing what level of NAIA Cardinal Stritch is and requesting a Lindenwood game makes me think it even more likely.

Believe it or not I just heard a radio ad for Lindenwood basketball. They named Brett Thompson, Kramer Soderberg and Alex Bazzell as the star players. A frightening thought occurred to me that this could have been the core of the Billikens team now if the previous regime was still here.

No doubt, but you'd have seniors in Mitchell, McGuire, and a few other kids whose names escape me. Where do you think that bunch would have ended up in the A-10?

Pistol Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 No doubt, but you'd have seniors in Mitchell, McGuire, and a few other kids whose names escape me. Where do you think that bunch would have ended up in the A-10? Relphorde, Knollmeyer. I'd be curious to see what the last two classes would have looked like. My guess on how we'd be with the old regime: middle of the A10, behind Xavier, Dayton, Temple, Rhody, Richmond each year, and maybe another team that is good in a given year. For his recruiting shortcomings, Sodie kept his teams competitive in conference. Even in the disastrous 9-21 2004-2005 season which saw all seniors miss significant time, we lost 11 of 12 "close" games (those within 6 points or went into OT). With half of those going our way, it's a .500 season despite the injuries. We were always outclassed talent-wise but found ways to win or stay close. The problem with Sodie is that the recruiting would have kept us mired in the middle of any conference, the forgotten team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchhater Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I wish they had Lindenwood on their schedule for an exhibition, cause I bet Lindenwood would beat the crap out of Slu and give them a reality check. Other than BC the whole team didnt impress me at all and Rob Loe needs to go back to his country cause other than hittin a couple threes he is the most unathletic guy Slu has recruited in awhile. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BERNY Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I say this being sarcastic. The Thompson, Soderberg thing makes the game awkward and then the Alex and Kramer thing kind of puts the home town kids spin on it. SLU playing Lindenwood makes no sense. Also Im not bashing Willie, only stating facts about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion.Soooo, you're saying our 6'11 big man that can shoot 3's already is no good? That makes a ton of sense, you idiot. It's very rare for a freshman center to be dominant physically, and most of them NEVER develop a 3 point shot or anything close to it. I need some of that stuff you're smoking. -Just kiddng, Rob Loe is only here because he wasn't good enough for Lindenwood. I thought everyone knew that!
