slu72 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Does this make 3 A10 teams named, ie URI, Dayton, and Davidson? If so, I would figure in this order: next SLU, VCU, RICHMOND, ST B’s (probably top 30). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonnies, Richmond, VCU and SLU. My guess is in the rank order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially considering they aren’t brining in any super high level recruits or transfers. IMO Mizzou is headed for a bottom 2 finish in the SEC and likely not even a top 100 team.

They rate every recruit based on how many other high major offers they had and who the high major offers were with. It just reeks of insecurity. But maybe it’s just me.

NH Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 These projections always have been very uninformed and pretty much useless. They don’t do much research and the only reason anyone checks them out is because they rank so many teams. Putting Mizzou 10th in the SEC is another example of how off they are.

There will be lots of whining on tiger board when they see the impact Okoro and Nesbitt make in college basketball this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the state, it is probably bested only by the maroon and grey of MSU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLUMedBilliken15 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 College sports madness ranks us 69. https://www.collegesportsmadness.com/article/19762 Saint Louis Billikens 2021-2022 Overall Rank: #69 Conference Rank: #4 A-10 Saint Louis Team Page Saint Louis has been a very good team over the last three years. Last year included an entire month of cancelled contests and it was tough for the Billikens to regain their form through a start and stop season. Still, Coach Travis Ford’s team went 14-6 during the regular season and earned a spot in the NIT. That was not the tournament SLU was aiming for but, all things considered, it was not a terrible way to end the campaign. 2020-21 Record: 14-7, 6-4 2020-21 Postseason: NIT Coach: Travis Ford Coach Record: 89-65 at Saint Louis, 434-322 overall Key Departed Players: Jordan Goodwin, Guard, 14.5 ppg Hasahn French, Forward, 9.2 ppg Demarius Jacobs, Guard, 4.9 ppg Jimmy Bell Jr, Forward, 1.9 ppg Key Returning Players: Javonte Perkins, Senior, Guard/Forward, 17.1 ppg Gibson Jimerson, Freshman, Guard, 7.8 ppg Marten Linssen, Junior, Forward, 5.5 ppg Fred Thatch Jr, Sophomore, Guard, 5.4 ppg Yuri Collins, Sophomore, Guard, 5.1 ppg Terrence Hargrove Jr, Sophomore, Forward, 4.2 ppg Markhi Strickland, Freshman, Guard/Forward, 2.6 ppg Andre Lorentsson, Freshman, Forward, 0.5 ppg Key New Players: Kyle Engstler, Freshman, Guard/Forward DeAndre Jones, Senior, Guard, Transfer from Central Arkansas Jordan Nesbitt, Freshman, Guard, Transfer from Memphis Francis Okoro, Junior, Forward, Transfer from Oregon Lassina Traore, Freshman, Forward Rashad Williams, Junior, Guard, Transfer from Oakland Projection: Losing the dynamic Jordan Goodwin could keep the Billikens at the NIT level. Goodwin averaged 14.5 points, 10.1 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 2.0 steals last year. He is now with the Washington Wizards. Forward Hasahn French is also playing professionally after tallying 9.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.4 blocks in 2020-2021. Saint Louis does have a superstar returning though. Javonte Perkins led the team with 17.1 points per game and knocked down a team high 38 three-pointers. At least to start the season, Perkins will be asked to cover even more scoring in 2021-2022. Gibson Jimerson, Yuri Collins and Fred Thatch Jr. are all young guards with a lot of potential. Jimerson is the shooter of the bunch and Collins averaged an impressive 6.1 assists per game during his second season with the program. Marten Linssen and Terrence Hargrove are the most experienced returning frontcourt options and they will be joined by Oregon transfer Francis Okoro. Okoro was never much of a scorer during his time with the Ducks, but the two-year starter will help keep Saint Louis solid on the glass and block a shot or two as well. Coach Ford also picked up a couple new scorers for the backcourt. DeAndre Jones was a four-year starter at Central Arkansas and averaged 12.9 points and 6.0 assists during a great 2019-2020 season. In that same year, Rashad Williams averaged 19.5 points with Oakland. billiken_roy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said this on Twitter, but my only real exception is that the only time Nesbitt is mentioned is in the “newcomers” list. West Pine Bills suggested that a lot of the preseason write ups might be done by AI, especially outside the top-25, which would make sense. It’s just shocking to me that everybody is basing their preseason analysis of Nesbitt on 3 games at Memphis under weird circumstances instead of the fact that he was a top-50 recruit in the country 9 months ago. Boggles my mind. bauman likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thought also was no mention of Nesbit? How is his High School career and projections any less relevant than that of any incoming Frosh? If all they know is he was let go by Memphis they are idiots. AI or not if your publication puts it out someone with a bit of knowledge should proofread it. And if you don’t know who Nesbitt is you shouldn’t be the one proofreading. Sorry but this is a fail for College Sports Madness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
