Officially over 1000 names (1010 as I write this). The latest familiar to us is John Bol Ajak, redshirt freshman big from Syracuse. He barely played - showed up in 10 games, getting about 5 MPG in garbage time appearances.

A more intriguing Syracuse player and former SLU offer is in the portal: Kadary Richmond averaged 6.3 PPG, 3.1 APG, 2.6 RPG, and 1.6 SPG on 21 MPG. He's a combo guard with good size (6-5, 180) and plays hard both ways. He's not much of an outside shooter - 7-21 in 28 games - but I like the potential fit here. SLU was not a finalist for him the first time around but there's enough familiarity there with the offer.

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.

He's terrible.

Nimari Burnett is announcing his decision on 4/8. He's reportedly down to 7 schools - Illinois, USC, Vanderbilt, Oregon, Alabama, LSU, and Auburn - but I'll remove him from the list when it's official.

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. 

I certainly didn't get the impression he would definitely be back, I think it's 50/50 of course, but the two positives... he didn't close the door on coming back and IF he comes back, it sounds like he would stay Team Blue.

Anyone spending time reading this thread is aware that there will be a LOT of transfers to choose from. It will be extremely interesting to see what players Ford manages to get.

And also from my point of view Covid is likely to be a major issue next season as well. Just think about how  these changes increase the complexity of a Coach's job to an insane level, as it was this season.

There will be a lot of them to choose from, but the biggest question of them all is: which ones will choose SLU?

and none from here!?

So Goodwin probably coming back.  French may too.  Apparently no current Billiken is leaving and we are fishing in transfer pool.  

Looking forward to seeing which of our 15 players get on the floor next year :D

What makes you think French may come back? I still think Goodwin is less than 50%, but it did go up today.
