Personally I would never spend time on a board dedicated to an inferior public university located in mid-Missouri when there is such a great one here. And just in case there are any potential recruits reading this, CHOOSE TO GO TO SLU AND SAVE YOUR VERY SOUL!!!

Agree Brian...but a really good recruit might wonder how a HC who is recruiting him hard could possibly lose to a lowly team like SIUE at home especially after his team had an 18 point lead in the 2nd half.

If you decide on going to that school, these are the fans that will hopefully be supporting you through the next four or five years. I would also check out message boards of the school and see how the fans are then. I talked with a recruit who was considering an in-state school but he hated the way that the fans treated the players on message boards. If a player on the team had a bad game, then someone on the boards would attack the play of this person. It was not a surprise that the recruit choose another school, even with it still being in the same conference. https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/74501-fans-do-play-a-role-in-the-athletic-recruiting-process-for-schools.amp.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t hate Travis Ford. Thinking a coach needs to achieve certain results isn’t hate. It is a standard all coaches should be held too. I don’t think Travis should be fired at this point. I am hopeful for how the rest of the season will play out, but that doesn’t mean he shouldn’t be held accountable if the season craters. It isn’t like my opinion matters because I am almost certain he will return no matter what. Travis seems like a pretty good guy and SLU could do (and has done) much worse. The only SLU coach I ever hated was Jim Crews. A bad person who basically stole the university’s money and who should have never got the job in the first place. dlarry, stmdragons and billikenfan05 like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheA_Bomb Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 T Ford had never finished above 4th in the A10 and people are arguing he could compete in the BE?! I also don't hate Ford. I just have no faith he'll ever win a NCAA tournament game at SLU. Dude has squandered Marcus Smart B12 PotY and YC the Nation's Assist leader. He needs to go.

I didn't express an opinion on that. Brian unequivocally stated that no recruit has ever been influenced by a message board. Looks like Brian was wrong. I don't necessarily agree that he's soft...no one likes reading/bad things about themselves. That being said, a player or coach who reads fan message boards is very foolish.

Almost as foolish as using an article with no listed author and no named player as proof that it did happen, but you do you. I am confident that no recruit has ever decided to not attend a school because a message board was not nice enough to the head coach.

What else would you call Message board chat? That’s another reason a kid would be nuts to base his decision on what he reads on a message board. Because it’s a bunch of anonymous people talking about stuff with no inside information. almaman likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you don’t get is my post or just about any other post on this board was as well researched as the link you posted as some kind of gotcha. Just the opinion of an anonymous idiot (I mean that in the best possible way) on the internet that spends too much time caring about a college sports team. At the end of the we just all want the Billikens to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
