I kinda want this to happen, just to watch Tigerboard explode. Can you even imagine all the “little brother”, “mid-major”, “A10 is a cupcake league”, “we make so much more money from SEC Network” takes that would flood that board? My God, it would be beautiful!

Underperforms year after year, finally gets a team to play to its talent level, then loses to a low-major team from the state of Texas in Round 1 of the tournament.

I feel fairly confident there's a 0.0% chance of Ramey coming to SLU even if he does transfer. BilliesBy40 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnbj14 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Leaving for Marquette isn’t like going broke. They’re a top 15 funded program annually. While Texas has a massive budget, MU isn’t far behind for basketball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be a great get but has he really lived up to his expectations at Texas? Ramey is a good player. I assumed he was not looking at SLU because he wanted the big time. Mizzou was his safety school. I also remember reading that he wanted to avoid C. Gordon as a teammate, which seems a lot more reasonable in retrospect. Maybe now we are more of a fit as a safety school. That said, Collins is our point guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. If you expected him to show like a kid that was just inside the top 50 recruits? That is pretty much what you got from him this season.

courtside Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I put it in the Coaches thread but in 2014 Marquette and Shaka were very close to being a thing. Some would even say they had an agreement that fell through. As far as Ramey and Texas and transfers, Ramey can defend, has 6'4 length, and Shaka's teams had top 40 defenses often/annually.

With free agency hitting players, it'll be interesting to see how many players simply follow their coaches to their new destination. Don't know if that fits Ramey at all, but I bet its pretty common going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was 12 when SLU moved conferences, so I don't really have any disdain there, but I know for a fact there are some older guys on here who lived through trolls from Marquette, Cincy, and co instead of the indians guy from Bona and the one loser from VCU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franchise_08 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Frank C mentioned our old friend Alonzo Verge is transferring and would be a favorable target. Not sure if we reached out yet. Averaged 14, 4 & 4 for a bad ASU team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reinert310 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I heard from someone who I think has credible information, but I can’t guarantee it, that Ramey and his family are big Adidas people. No, I’m not implying that he got paid (he may have, I have no idea). But us being a Nike school took us out of the running right off the bat. Again, this is 2nd/3rd hand info. So you can take it or leave, just what I heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed that part, but Coach Tate was on Frank’s show today and said they are definitely bringing in three players regardless if Goodwin or French stay or not.
