moytoy12 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 That's where we're at this year. A good, but not great team. Lots of hustle, but poor execution. Poor FT shooting. Great D. We are what we are this year and that's an NIT-level team but good enough to win the conference tourney. To be honest, it's a little freeing as the rest of the regular season doesn't matter all that much in terms of the Big Dance (unless you think we're going to win out, which is unrealistic at best).

VeniceMenace Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Agree, once again SLU loses three critical players -- Welmer, Santos, Gordin -- and is now paying the price. But nobody tops Ford in the A10 as a recruiter, future is bright and this team still has a real shot to win A10 tourney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EssEllYou Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Thatch, KC and Jacobs are decent but not gonna get us to the tournament. French and Goodwin are great but not consistent enough. If these freshman arent better than what we've seen over the last 2-3years, we are in trouble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrockL Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Thoughts? Ford skipped the post game radio interview and apparently was quick with the media in his press conference. I personally could care less, but this "LeBron Gaines" dude is making a big deal of it on his Twitter acount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsey and Earl probably would have made excuses for him. It's not a huge deal but its weak and unprofessional to handle it the way he did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So depressing to think about what this roster--especially the front court--could have been. Every year it seems we can't catch a break.

This is the Coach Ford that Oklahoma State fans have been up in arms about all these years: the coach who can recruit athletes but not take advantage of their athleticism. But I really do think recruiting will be his saving grace in the A10. Coach Ford went 13-3 in the A10 with a UMass team he constructed. Once this roster looks more like that one, we'll be in good shape. brianstl and Bonner89 like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With regards to recruiting, I am starting to fear that he doesn't recruit with any sort of plan. Sure we have athletes and size. But the parts seemingly really don't fit together and they definitely don't fit a slow grind it out inefficient style of offense. French and Gordon and by all reports Santos all were very similar in style and court preferences. Jgood and isabell both need the ball. In comparison, Conklin complemented Loe in style. Mccall and Jett complemented each other stylistaclly. Chemistry matters. I fear that chemistry on the court is being overlooked on the recruiting trail.

I imagine Jimmerson will be similar to Wiley but hopefully healthy and thus more consistent. I imagine Perkins will be unique compared to this year's roster. Hargrove is another athlete with a slashers first mentality. Yuri is unique in that he's a true point guard. But I am concerned about his size. I am also concerned with JGood not having the ball in his hands because that seemed to hurt him earlier this year when Isabell was running the point. Im really hoping for a stretch four/high post kind of big. I was also optimistic about the incoming class this year and didn't foresee any issues. I hope you are right and they impress next year. We cannot keep having high expectations with results that fall short of those expectations if we want to build the type of long-term success we desire.
