HoosierPal Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 This reads like the game on the 20th is toast and the game on the 23rd v the Bonnies is questionable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierPal Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Frank and Rammer today: Rammer said individuals that had no symptoms nor positive test, workouts start today. He sees a way to play St. Bonnie with minimal practice, but for sure Dayton on the 26th. Other comments from Rammer on SLU coaches recruiting: Soderberg was too methodical, he could have had Ahearn, Stemler and Harrelson but Soderberg wanted to see them too many times, and didn't pull the trigger soon enough. https://590thefan.com/radio-shows/press-box/ wgstl likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a relative of mine and I won't tell the full story but SLU did all they could with him. Nothing illegal or anything like that from IU but he was taking the biggest offer he could get AGB91, RUBillsFan, billiken_roy and 2 others like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarke was lighting up the AAU circuit, including a 41 point outburst in the big event out in Vegas. Then he had a bad ankle injury prior to his senior season and never regained his explosiveness. At the end of the day we were never going to sustain success recruiting to West Pine. You have to be able to recruit good players outside the area, not just the mid-major kids in St. Louis who are interested in staying home. Can you imagine if Chaifetz Arena was never built? We might be La Salle right now. AGB91 and MusicCityBilliken like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I don’t think the problem was that Brad waited too long to pull the trigger with Ahearn and Harrellson, but that he never bothered offering them at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierPal Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Stu was on 550 last night. When asked why SLU's situation is taking longer than other teams, he said they had their first positives on Dec 30, then the week after they had one or more additional positives, as they were testing daily while in quarantine. This put different quarantine lengths on players depending on when their symptoms went away, plus the 7 day slow progression back into activity after symptoms disappear, on various schedules. He commented again that some players were in the gym with Coach Ford on Wednesday. He did talk with the A10 Commish, and she said SLU is in good shape (as long as they don't go out again). "There are 100 or more teams in the NCAA that have played 8 or less games, so SLU isn't the only team out on an island." Stu on the A10: VCU has put themself into a position to get a top 4 finish, Richmond will be fine, St.Bonnie will continue to be good, Dayton has slipped a little and not playing as good as people thought they would. It remains to be seen how SLU will compete after this long layoff, but should be competing for the top spot. SLU still is scheduled to go to VCU and Richmond. Both could be Quad 1 games. The LSU game should remain Quad 1, NCState is slipping. "I'm sure Goodwin will take his leadership to another level coming out of quarantine, realizing this will be a short season, and will be his last." Interview https://ktrs.com/the-big-sports-show/ Here is Stu's article today in the PD. https://www.stltoday.com/sports/college/slu/a-10-commissioner-says-slu-still-on-solid-footing/article_9d4e2caa-feec-5069-8507-470c63d59cb3.html MusicCityBilliken and Pistol like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be very surprised if he got it again. While 3 months is the official party line from the CDC, most believe that re-infection is unlikely for much longer (years). Just today there was an article in the Financial Times that said a study of UK health-care workers that have gotten it has shown it it be roughly as effective as getting the vaccine when it comes to likelihood of getting it again.

It matters because I'm pretty sure the NCAA said they won't worry about testing or quarantining players during the NCAA tourney if they got COVID within the last 3 months.

The issue was that Romar had offered Ahearn but when he left Soderberg took the offer back Brad really didn’t want him so it wasn’t like he lost out he had him already. Poor judge of talent.

To me, it sounds like they got it now but could be wrong. It is a long article but a few excerpts from it. Quote And then it all stopped, the virus doing what viruses do, spreading through nearly the entire team, halting the season and the Billikens in their tracks. When the Billikens do reconvene by next week, hopefully, Ford doesn’t anticipate much basketball at first, which is why he believes that Jan. 20 game against the Minutemen is a pipe dream. “They’re not touching a basketball for several days,’’ he says. “They’ll condition on bikes, slowly get back into it.’’ With so many players having tested positive, he’s worried about them physically — pointing to the still unknown details with the collapse of Florida’s Keyontae Johnson — but he’s every bit as concerned for them mentally.
