ACE Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 8 minutes ago, Crewsorlose said: This is good news. Where does the team stand right now? PG: Medley, Hughes Off-guard: Thames, Parker 3/4 wings: Hargrove, Jimerson, Rivera Bigs: Zhang, Cisse, Vice I'd say that's in the 6th-9th place range, if things break right. My desires are: (1)combo guard who can defend the ball, like what Demarius Jacobs could have been (2) wing 3 & d type, like Hargrove. 4/5 banger who can protect the rim, like French. All three can be 20-25mpg types. Hopefully Hughes stays as walk on, which would give us four scholarships still to give. My prediction is that two of the current players that you list will transfer, freeing up a couple more spots. The return of Gibby gives us one certain returning starter. This may be wishful thinking, but I would like to get three starting caliber players in the portal, plus a solid rotational player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get Caleb Love, Jimerson is returning, bring back Yuri for his final year of eligibility to run the Showtime, and watch this team take off. We would be so bad down low we would have to shoot 50% from 3 every single game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think Perkins being what he was vs 100% is the difference between being a 96 in the NET and the NCAA Tournament? I don't. This team couldn't defend and they couldn't set a screen to get open looks. Get closer to the 2018-19 style or we're going to be having the same conversations in 12 months.

Not with Caleb Love on the roster. He was the best player on a blueblood that played for the National Championship, was a consensus 5 star recruit from CBC, Mr. Show Me Basketball. Let's get him to SLU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slu92 Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 It’s nice to have some positive news for the first time in a while. This kid is a tough player for sure and I’m happy to see him back next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierPal Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 We need rebounders. Our top three rebounders from this past season won't be back. Hope the staff is reaching out to guys who care enough to rebound. I don't care how tall they are. Jordan Goodwin was (is) 6'3" and he was relentless on the boards. That's what we need. If you don't want to defend, please don't apply. willie likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquinas Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Gibson returning is huge! He has made significant improvements in his game each year, works really hard and he plays team ball. In my view he was our best player last year. His quick release is amazing. We now have pieces we can build around and hopefully attract the missing pieces.

Hell, I was one of the few on here that actually defended him when he was going through his month long shooting slump and people where whining he couldn't hit a big shot. Unlike you, all I want is for the Billikens to win bigger than they have. I don't care who the coach is. I will be just as happy if it is with Travis Ford as the coach, Jim Crews as the coach or Old Guy as the coach. I thought this just finished season continued a disappointing trend and it was time for a change. I will be happy as anyone if Travis Ford makes me look like an idiot. Keeping Gibson around is a good start to doing so. Old Guy as coach…this gave me a good chuckle. Thanks for the levity! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
