SLU_Nick Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Recap - - Ford played with Shaq and he was the most dominant player he's been on the court with - Nesbitt praise - mature body, wants to be great. Relentlessness reminds Ford of Goodwin - Okoro praise - Okoro wants to get better, lives in the gym. - Ford confirms Goodwin definitely gone (which we already knew). May get a look in the 2nd round and Summer League. - Javonte - gotten bigger and stronger. Needs to hit 40% from 3 and be a better defender to play at the next level - Ford recruiting in Birmingham and Atlanta GA to watch recruits. He's Happy with where recruiting is. - Scheduling - thinks its the strongest schedule we've ever had. Calls Auburn and Memphis top 5 teams in the country. (huh?). Drake is gonna be tough with veterans. - NIL Talk - still trying to understand how to help student athletes. He's been contacted by companies about certain players. - Ford Stuen sad talk to end it. majerus mojo, SLUMedBilliken15, Dr. Holly Hills and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Just did a little homework on Belmont and this is a really dangerous game. They scored 81.3 PPG last season with no seniors. The only transfer leaving scored 3.1 PPG. They were 13th nationally in scoring, 3rd in 2P%, 4th in APG, 8th in FG, 14th in FG%, they don't turn it over much, they don't foul much, they make FTs at a good clip - super disciplined team that plays as a collective. The top 6 guys average between 9 and 15 PPG. Only knock is the weak SOS, but teams like Belmont were getting shut out of good games last season with the non-conference schedule scramble. They won the OVC (18-2) and then lost in the conference tournament and didn't get a postseason appearance. They'll be even better this year, even if they take a few more losses early. SLU will need to play its best basketball to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drake is gonna be tough with veterans. I don't think Memphis or Auburn will be top 5, but it wouldn't shock me if either were top 25. Memphis was basically top 30 last year and was the #1 defensive team in the country. They return their 2 best players and also add some bigtime transfers and three 4-star recruits. Auburn wasn't as good last year (60 in Kenpom) but does add a McDonalds All-American, one of the most sought after transfers in Walker Kessler, and a couple of other really good players. By my count we could play as many as 7 teams with tourney aspirations in the non-con majerus mojo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
