That wasn't his question. SLU's recruiting, player development, and coaching, have been at an NIT/NCAA bubble level under the current regime. No more no less. And that all falls under the head coach too, good, bad, indifferent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoSluBills Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 At large hopes done barring us dominating a conference in which we've never finished above 4th under Ford. Bizziken likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old guy Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 I thought I would share Team Rankings report after the game last night. As you can read, in their opinion we are not doing very well. Read the report, taken from the Team Rankings projections, I think our real chance of making the Dance this year will depend upon winning the A10 tournament, 24% as per TR's projections. Saint Louis Basketball Predictions Update Dec 11, 2022 • After losing to Boise State 57-52 yesterday, Saint Louis is now projected to finish the regular season 21-10 (12-6 Atlantic 10). • The odds that the Billikens make the NCAA tournament are down to 41%, a decrease of 12% since yesterday. • We currently rank Saint Louis as the #72 team in the country, and the #1 team in the Atlantic 10. • Next game: Sat, Dec 17 vs. #99 Drake. Our power ratings give the Billikens a 71% chance to win. Bracketology Projections Make NCAA Tournament Get Automatic NCAA Bid Projected Seed (if Selected) 41% 24% 11 • Saint Louis probably won't get an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament, although they have an outside shot. • As for an automatic bid ... Saint Louis has a 24% chance to win the conference tournament. They're more likely than not to lose, but they do have a reasonable shot at winning. • We project the Billikens with a 3% chance to make the Sweet Sixteen, but essentially no chance to reach the Final Four. More Saint Louis Bracketology | Bracketology For All Teams Regular Season Record Projection Current Record Projection For Remaining Games Projected Final Record 7-4 (0-0 Atlantic 10) 14-6 (12-6 Atlantic 10) 21-10 (12-6 Atlantic 10) • Based on our projections, the Billikens will most likely finish the regular season with a record between 23-8 and 20-11. More Saint Louis Projections | Projections For All Atlantic 10 Teams Atlantic 10 Tournament Projections Get Atlantic 10 #1 Seed Projected Seed Win Atlantic 10 Tournament 27% 1 24% • The odds for Saint Louis to earn the #1 seed in the Atlantic 10 tournament are down 9% since yesterday. • The chance of Saint Louis winning the Atlantic 10 tournament has decreased by 4% since yesterday.

Scheyer’s young so Carawell can’t realistically see a path to succeed him in the near future. I've always thought about Carawell coming back home to coach SLU in some capacity. Clearly a lateral move to SLU won't get it done. Bring on former Cardinal Ritter teammate Jahidi White as an assistant, but mostly to just scare the sh*it out of opposing players (note: I have no idea what White is currently doing or if he's involved with basketball at all but I saw him at 3 Kings a few years ago and the dude is an absolute giant).

Even if his staff does the majority of the recruiting, you never seee a head coach get fired and the coaching staff retained. It's always a package deal. Fire Ford and our staff who is great at recruiting St. Louis will be picked up by Mizzou and Illinois. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobillsgo Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I don’t see it happening ever, but I’ll throw out Chris Mack’s name. Throw a bunch of money at him and see if he wants to come back to the A10, where he had a TON of success at Xavier. Probably just a pipe dream, but it’s nice to think about.

slufanskip Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 85/249 for 36% and 20/78 for 26%. Not saying Fords not ultimately responsible but you aren’t winning on the road vs Maryland, Auburn, and Iona much less at home against a good Boise St team shooting like that. It’s not like they haven’t had plenty of decent looks either. Their inside game stinks. Okoro can’t hit a layup. Forester has hands of stone. Yuri is trying too much to make something happen when we can’t hit a shot and he can’t shoot any better than the rest of the guards. Ford’s team, he’s accountable but players also have to play up to their capability. And please don’t start with the coach ‘em up or make adjustments or motivate them BS. You’ve seen the games, we’ve had open looks and just missed over and over again. That part isn’t coaching. The players and the coach have all failed so far RiseOfTheBillikens likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
