But trying to make offensive projections based on drills seems to me a waste of time. If that meant anything, Andre Lorentsson would have started. Forgive me but it's an impossible to imagine Lorentsson yesterday as anything but the 12th or 13th guy. I'm not talking about standing in a corner and making 9 threes. I'm talking about the full contact, full-court drills. Quote

I know this is hard to believe but Lorentsson was the high scorer in one scrimmage and nearly that in another. He just couldn't could guard anybody. I don't think scoring will be a problem for him at Toledo either. The question how committed is Toledo to playing defense? Because if they just try to outscore people, Lorentsson will make their rotation. Quote

Perkins fell a couple times near basket. That made me nervous though I'll need to get past that. Sweeper got in the way one time I'm planning on going Friday. Are they selling anything beyond popcorn? (It's around my dinner time.) Asking the important questions. Quote
billiken_roy Posted August 1, 2022 Posted August 1, 2022 it seemed they were pretty limited yesterday. didnt have beer or soda. just water and gatorade. and the only food i saw was the popcorn. they are planning to have at least that friday though according to the lady at the stand. Quote

almaman Posted August 2, 2022 Posted August 2, 2022 any idea where roster will be updated on school website? Quote

Old guy Posted August 2, 2022 Posted August 2, 2022 9 hours ago, Crewsorlose said: Perkins seems very hesitant physically. I think we'll need to be patient as it may take some time for the guy who'd be running point in 1-4 sets to close out games and finishing over guys in traffic. I think Perkins is taking the correct approach. This is just the beginning of practice, there is no need for him to push his leg at this time. Better to start slow in the practices and build up. Hopefully he will improve by the time the season starts. Quote

VeniceMenace Posted August 2, 2022 Posted August 2, 2022 SLU needs to update that men's basketball roster page. Just because you don't have everyone's mugshot yet doesn't mean you cannot post their name and info. The current page doesn't reflect a first-class program.

Pistol Posted August 3, 2022 Posted August 3, 2022 I think they still have some class updating to do. Some guys should have the "redshirt" tag in front of their class listing. Forrester and Pickett should probably be Grad Students. Parker is listed as a junior but only played one JUCO season despite being there for two. Brandon Courtney isn't listed yet. Quote
