Tonka Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Forgive me if this is buried somewhere in recent threads, but when is SLU slated to do another summer international trip? I think a school can do one every 4 years or so? It would sure be nice to give these kids some more playing time going into next season, especially if we have a transfer or two and add a couple players.

billikenbill Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Believe Manning was a freshman during the Canada trip so it'd be time to do another one, next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeSmetBilliken Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Where did they go last? Canada. Won a few games, then lost to the Duke of Canadian college basketball, Carleton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Metzinger Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Canada. Won a few games, then lost to the Duke of Canadian college basketball, Carleton. Would their women's team be considered the Duchess of Canadian college basketball then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 fan Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I've been told they will travel in August. look for certain summer practices to be open practices, as they were 4 years ago. Currently, not planning on going to Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deutschkind Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Seems like international trips are great preparation. Gives the team an extra step up in between seasons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboy Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 -would anyone consider waiting a year on the trip to use as another attempt to get FBJT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufan13 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 -would anyone consider waiting a year on the trip to use as another attempt to get FBJT? I wouldn't. You have to run the team like you're not getting Tatum. This upcoming offseason is extremely important. I still see the potential in this team. But potential doesn't win games. You have to actually get better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianstl Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I would consider delaying the trip for a year for reasons that have nothing to do with Tatum. It really makes no sense to take a trip next season. You use those trips to jump start a season that you think you a chance to play in the NCAA tournament.

cheeseman Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Last time RM had to pay for part of the trip so who do you think is going to pay this time? Brian has a point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're confusing his recruiting trips to down under. Never heard he had to chip in for the team's trip up Morth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 You just take the trip every 4 years if you have the funding. It's that simple. Every team can benefit from extra practice and game exposure. You don't push that off. The goal is to make the tournament every year. If you want to make negative posts, I think there is a designated thread for that.
