GBL_Bills Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Whichever one of you MBMs is the guy that keeps sending in SLU questions to the Athletic's mailbag, you're doing God's work. Seth just devoted multiple paragraphs to answering a question about Goodwin, and apparently called him for an interview over the weekend. Just wanted to say thanks to whomever you are.

RiseAndGrind Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I subscribed to the Athletic when it looked like they would cover a lot of teams not in the Power 5. I was disappointed in their coverage and cancelled. Are they getting better? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was disappointed in their coverage and cancelled. Are they getting better? If you're primarily interested in non-P5+BEAST CBB coverage, then I would say no, it isn't worth it. They do a weekly mid-major round up, and that's about the only inches of print dedicated to non-Gonzaga mid major talk. However, I'm a big MLB stats nerd, and I dabble in EPL and NHL, so the totality of coverage is worth the $30 annual membership I bought. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post SLURadioBoy Posted August 27 Popular Post Share Posted August 27 Some pub from The Athletic today... https://theathletic.com/2024750/2020/08/27/mid-major-mailbag-beware-saint-louis-program-climbs-the-wccs-rise-and-more/ Could Saint Louis’ Javonte Perkins be one of the surprise stars of college basketball this year? Despite coming off the bench last year, he still averaged 15 points per game (and more than 18 in conference play). Yet many college basketball fans have probably never heard of him. — Andy T. Jordan Goodwin and Hasahn French get most of the attention for the Billikens, but Perkins was the Atlantic 10 Sixth Man of the Year and led the team in scoring during conference play. Things really seemed to click into place for him in the second half of the season, which shouldn’t be too surprising since he was a junior college transfer adjusting to Division I. He had six games of at least 24 points from Jan. 17 on and became the guy teammates looked for in big spots. He led SLU in made 3s. Travis Ford’s team looks absolutely loaded, with French and Goodwin back after averaging double-doubles, Gibson Jimerson returning from a broken foot and Yuri Collins and Terrence Hargrove Jr .ready to expand their roles. As such, Perkins’ star potential may be limited because there are so many talented players around him. But if Saint Louis has the kind of year I think it’s capable of having, people will know a lot more about him and the other Billikens.
