Slu let the dogs out? Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 5 minutes ago, HoosierPal said: Weber continues to amaze me. How does he pull in these players? Small sample size but in the few Mizzou games I watched this past year I think I saw Mark Smith take 20 shots and miss 20 shots. Clearly his FG% is higher than 0% but I wasn't impressed with the kid. He also appeared to whine a lot after missing a shot. billiken_roy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KState is a high major school that is beating out high mid-majors for players.

Taj79 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Bamisele played in 13 of 22 games and threw down 3.5 ppg. Geedubya will be the new Rhode Island .. cobbling transfer pieces together trying to put a cohesive outfit out there. And when it's all said and done, Bishop will take the shot.

ACE Posted March 30, 2021 Author Share Posted March 30, 2021 Braxton Beverly from NC State in the portal. Played a pretty good game against us. He's from Kentucky, so perhaps Travis has some connection. Good 3-point shooter and good assist/TO ratio so he could fit as that secondary playmaker. A pretty productive player for four years going from the ACC to the A10 could be a really good fit. It's worth reaching out to him to see if there is interest.

I don't see what is so amazing about this. Every time I've seen Smith play, going back to his time at Illinois, I have not been impressed. I think he landed at the right program. billiken_roy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if he gets some confidence back he could be an asset off the bench at K-State for a year. but that's probably his ceiling in my mind.

BilliesBy40 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 The only thing notable about Mark Smith is his recruitment coming out of high school. He is the cautionary tail of guys who blow up their senior year. He likely regrets not sticking with baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the choice, and I know this may ruffle some feathers, Columbia > Manhattan, except for football. Snyder is a legend. He is the epitome of more with less.

I really followed Edwardsville (coached baseball there as an assistant for 4 years)...he blew up quick, but how much of that was coaching a system around him?

Epenesa was such an incredible athlete and so physically strong, opponents spent so much time containing him and left smith one on one.

SLURadioBoy Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Goodwin is on Frank’s show right now. He said he will meet with agents to see what his chances are of going pro. If they say he will benefit from playing another year in college, he will come back to SLU as long as Ford will let him. slufanskip, kshoe, stmdragons and 5 others like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like he'll be back. I guess Frank didn't ask him about his roommate, eh? Pretty sure Travis will welcome him back unless he's got someone special in his sights from the portal. What coach would turn down an all conference player.? Kind of a strange thing for him to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Jordan said it in jest about Ford wanting him. Also, going pro does not necessarily mean NBA. If an agent says I think you can sign in Europe and make six figures he'll be gone. This conversation with Frank is undoubtedly good news, but I'm no where near "sounds like he'll be back" stage. billiken_roy and cgeldmacher like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he’s meeting with Ford today. I’m sure his future will be discussed and I bet Ford will welcome him back with open arms. He was asked about French as well. He said they haven‘t talked much lately and he’s not sure what he plans to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
