Something has to change or we are doomed

Fate or destiny always carries everything up and down. This is a down, agreed, does it mean we are doomed?, no it does not. It does mean we will not be top 25 ranked.

[CenHudDude]

We will see where we are ranked when the roster is filled.

CBFan stands for College Ball Fan I dislike pro sports because of players behavior, strikes and greed.

I feel the same way about most people sports. But it’s also because of the owners greed not just the players.

What you think slu wasnt trying up to now?  You need to wake up out of your land of unicorns and rainbows.   You P5 slugs will be fine.  You have no idea what we deal with.

SLU's program isn't a dog and pony show.  You have a top end basketball stadium that 95% of the college basketball world are envious of.  You have a campus that is great and only getting better.  SLU is a world class research university and yes that helps.  You just took the best player away from a P5 SEC school.  Saint Louis is a hotbed for top recruits.  I get losing Yuri sucks but this isn't the end of the world.  Stop looking at what you don't have and start looking ar what you do have.  I think when you do that you will find SLU is an awesome basketball program. 

 

It's the Saint Peters of the world that are in trouble.  

[billiken_roy]

You are clueless.   Saint Peter's just earned a 7 figure paycheck.   

Of course Kansas cheats and gets that kind of money under the table all the time from the shoe companies.   So you think that's nothing.  

Our glitzy arena means nothing any more to these kids that know we can't compete with the power 5 corrupt schools in the long run in bring able to bankroll the kids now legally.

There appears to be some mutual interest between former Delaware Blue Hen  Andrew Carr and SLU from who is following who on twitter.  A 6'9" forward who averaged 10 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.1 blocks and shot 40.5% from 3 last season on 1.2 attempts per game.  Could be a guy that is developing into a nice stretch 4.

I get you're upset and you bleed blue and im an outsider who is just a fan.  Maybe right now a pep talk isn't what you want and if you did I'm not the one you want to hear it from.    SLU will have a great next season.  

[wgstl]

Maybe its the blue Kool-Aid, no frick it its not. 

 

It just feels like with a cast we have next year, getting a PG who can give us 8 ppg, 4 assists shouldn't be that hard of a task

Former 5-star Devin Askew has hit the portal again. He's been a bit of a disappointment, but maybe could thrive in the A-10. Plenty of opportunity for a pass first PG on this roster.

[BLIKNS]

Would he have to sit out a year?  Or have to get a waiver?

Who the hell knows any more - haha! 

As much as I want to, I just can't quit college basketball.... just yet.

He’s already struggled at two P5 schools. Sounds like the perfect candidate to transfer down to a top tier mid-major with plenty of scorers to pass the ball to.

*blue font* Maybe our new portal can get him some NIL $$$.

it doesnt help you are a fan first and formost from one of the most corrupt programs currently in college basketball.   cant wait till self or at least one of his staff is sent to prison.  that will make me feel a little better.

Wow how far he has fallen, he has to go to Hampton to be a featured player, this has to be a joke or am I missing something?

Depaul, Butler, Loyola, Drake, Missouri State, Murray State we’re not interested?

Each day and it’s just my opinion I believe there were some team issues with more than one player that split the locker room and the house is being self cleaned by the transfer portal.

The team played really well at the beginning of the A10 season and then fell apart.

More and more I feel that this is for the best.

I appreciate you and others moving forward with post like this thank you for the information.

I need to get out of dumps and put my energy into looking forward for players that can help SLU and forget about those that left.

Phil Forte is now following Devin Askew on twitter.  (This has not meant much for other targets we liked though....)

[slu72]

May 1 can’t get here fast enough. 

[Slu let the dogs out?]

Seems pretty simple to me: sign Pack, Turnbull, Carr, and Askew and then we all head to Field House for a celebratory Shirley Temple.

I personally know TJHawk and I know he has been volunteered his time and money to raise money for the athletic department at SLU even though he is a KU grad. What have you done other than be a crotchety nuisance and sit in your seat with your arms crossed in your sockless pennyloafers?

i have never worn pennyloafers sockless in my life.   i do sit arms crossed due to the close proximity to the adjoining seats and not wanting to make my neighbors more uncomfortable or appear selfish for hogging arm rests.  

well if anyone should know how to "raise money" for athletics it would be a jayhawk fan.
