The current sophs and frosh will be upper classmen and we will have continued to recruit at a high level.

Bonner/Douglass, Spoon teams, Romar (Hughes, Tatum, Love, etc.), and Majerus's couple teams (The last two were Rick's not Crews'). I would go with this one, in terms of floor talent 1-13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glory Ravs just can't get his point across. In terms of talent on the roster, on paper, he thinks its the best team SLU has ever had. There's surely an argument to be made. Now what comes next, that's the real question. 1 minute ago, slufanskip said: You could be right but right now it's still just hope.

Let's see if Ford can out-coach good coaches. I have jjst always thought that Majerus was such a huge part of the success early in this decade. Turning "mediocre" recruiting classes on paper into Conference POYs, top ten teams, and several All A-10 honors.

Billiken Rich Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Again, it's time for Travis to prove he can coach a talented team with the same aplomb he showed coaching last year's magnificent 7(6.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love saying we hit the coaches poll top 10 that year but if memory recalls we were considered one of the most overrated teams in the tournament. Many including our own fans thought we were the upset team against NC state. Also on paper we have the most highly ranked roster Slu has ever had. Breaking last years record. We have more players on NBA watch than ever before. (French, Goodwin, Gordon and maybe the grad transfers) this is the first time since Jordair years that i thought we could be competitive in the Big East. A10 is ours to lose. If Goodwin wasn’t dismissed early we wouldn’t be hearing so much about Grady. #TeamBlue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it was and that team won in the NIT in the New Mexico pit, I still remember that game being down and coming back big to win that game. Charlie Newberry is one of my Billiken favorites. If that was the makeup of our team this season I would be as excited as I am for the current team this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 that newberry, douglass, gray, bonner team was real good and if not in a true one bid conference would have been an ncaa team in any of the bigger conferences. x had a very good team as well that year with larkin and strong and another big that escapes me right now and thus won the conference. that left us in the nit.
