I think at least a couple of those guys will be encouraged to move on or will see the writing on the wall when it comes to playing time. I agree that we need to see what this season brings, but if any of them were to go, Neufeld would be my bet. Ford has said pretty positive things about the others at some point. I think even the most questionable among them will be worthwhile role players. Roby and Gillmann will be seniors; they put their time in.

johnbj14 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I truly believe next season will be an NCAA team. Transfers have gotten pretty solid reviews in practice, two well-regarded players of a physical style are coming in as well. Also there is still a scholarship available, and the players this season could perform much better under Ford. I'm drinking the kool-aid.

I think this is important: Goodwin and French will not have to change their bodies to be successful at the next level. That is a potentially major hurdle they have already cleared.

He doesn't take many perimeter shots, but picks his spots carefully and makes them at a good clip. He's a dreadful FT shooter, though. Hopefully he puts in a lot of time at the stripe in the next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kshoe Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I'm in the camp that this can be an NCAA team next year. Need to stay healthy, use the last scholly wisely and most importantly have 2-3 returners step up this season and prove they can play a role on an NCAA team. i certainly was never one that believed it would take 10 years to get the program back on track but I am very impressed with how fast Ford is moving.

slufanskip Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Welcome to SLU Mr French. We could start 5 players all ranked in the top 150 in their classes coming out of HS. Adonys-39, Goodwin 56, Bess 119, DJ 133, French 139. Obviously rankings don't guarantee success, however since Larry have we had a player ranked top 50?, 100? Hell, have we even had another top 150? It's going to be fun this year just watching who gets to stick around and earn minutes in 17-18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeSmetBilliken Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I'm excited about this commitment. While I'm sure there are times I've thought this and turned out to be wrong, French seems like the type of player that we've gone after in the past and missed on, and then we watch from a distance as the player becomes a solid player, leaving us to wonder "what if?".

almaman Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 These top 150 numbers are they all from same rater? or is it like being an All-Americans where there are a number of legit sources for a list. Also is it top 150 overall or by position? Thanks I'll take my answers off my feet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westy03 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 This is fantastic. Its pretty amazing the recruits Ford has already pulled in considering the state of the program. Also, its great to see some of these national writers like Biancardi, Eric Bossi, Evan Daniels, etc.. commenting on our commitments(Goodwin and French). We have never really had that before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previously, I volunteered to host during Arlington Texas' Final 4. I Now live in Austin and we could rent a bus to shuttle us from my place to SA, it's a 1.5 hr drive. We could pitch in for a keg of Easy Drinking Busch Light to make the ride better or just stop at Buc-ee's for tall boys. Overflow goes to Knight's Inn. Breakfast Tacos are complimentary.
