List your five (not six or seven) Billiken favorites for the decade.  They need to have played on teams 2010-2011 up through this year's team, for at least one season.  No rules on positions or years played, just list your favs.  I'm seeing about 7 to 8 common names. 

Mitchell, Jett, Goodwin, French, and a close one, but going with Evans for #5.

Mitchell, Jett, Goodwin, Evans and Conklin. I hate to leave French off but Evans and Conklin were both first team all conference players and each has one of the the two best advance metric seasons of the decade.

By far the most talented decade of my lifetime for the program.

Best players from the decade: Mitchell, Jett, Goodwin, Conklin, French 

Best TEAM from the decade: 2011-2012.That team was so much fun to watch. Still can't believe that team finished the year as #14 in Kenpom.

Jett, Goodwin, French, Evans, Bess.

And there's my personal b*tch trolling right along ...... he's so far up my *ss, he need a snorkel to breathe.

Thicks's 2011-2020 all-decade starting five:

  • Kwamain Mitchell
  • Dwayne Evans
  • Hasahn French
  • Jordan Goodwin
  • Jordair Jett

I would put Yuri Collins and Terrence Hargrove Jr. on the list based on potential, but they'll be eligible for the 2021-30 decade.  Then, again, so will Goodwin and French, but I can't really think of any players, aside from Javon Bess, that I would want to replace them with.

Obviously, you're being funny, but as a straight man, I have to respond that Pearson isn't eligible:

You could also argue that Gordon isn't eligible, either, because half of a season isn't "at least 1 season."

Mitchell

Goodwin

Jett

Bess

French

I think the biggest part about the Majerus teams was that the whole was greater than the sum of its parts - Jett, Goodwin, and Bess should be automatic on everyone's list, IMO

Actually, I take it back; I can think of two players to replace Goodwin and French with, to preserve them for the '21-30 decade:  Bess and Willie Reed.  A lineup of Reed, Evans, Bess, Mitchell, and Jett would definitely be formidable.

Imagine not having Goodwin on your all decade team

Well, if J-Good is left off many people's '21-30 all-decade team, that means SLU will have gotten some fabulous talent the rest of the decade!

Jett, Kwamain, JGood, Bess, Willie. 

I know I'll get flack for Willie. But these 5 would be hard to beat w/ him at the 5. Now if for some reason he's ineligible, got to go with French. Hate to leave off Evans and Conk but, again, these 5 would be hard to beat.

French would not be the leader in blocks of Willie had played 4 years

You're probably right, but even if Willie had returned, he never would have finished all 4 years. I'll always say if we'd had him for the 11-12 season, Rick's last, we would have gone deep in the dance. Like real deep. We would have probably been a 3-4 seed and never had to play MSU in game 2. But even if we did get them w/ Willie at the 5 we would have won.

French averaged 1.8 blocks his first two seasons. Willie averaged 1.7 blocks in his two seasons.

I’m saying currently, French would probably have it if both played out their 4 years but Willie as a 4 year player and French halfway through Jr, Willie would be the all time leader
