GDT - Kentucky Wesleyan Panthers

[TheA_Bomb]

I just watched DII St. Edward's take a 7 point lead into the half vs #18 Texas.* Ya never know.   

 

 

 

*Texas is now ahead 76-53

Let’s just remember Louisville is one of the worst team in the ACC and their coach will likely be fired before the end of season in just his second year. 
 

but this has been a heck of a start for KWU.

Solid start for SLU as well.

UofL’s like Dayton. No competition in winter sports.

That's a farce. MAYBE they got half that.

They count attendance like the St. Louis Cardinals do.

Charlie Spoonhour packed in the fans despite all the other stuff going on in St Louis….

Something tells me Kentucky Wesleyan is going to finish higher than 8th in its conference.  Go Bills!

Louisville last season lost to a D2 team, Lenoir-Rhyne, that went 11-15 by 10.  I wouldn't read too much into it.  Louisville is a bad team.

I know all that.  I also know that Louisville has a better roster this year, including a 7-1 center who was on the U17 US National team and an improved 6'8 forward who would be the best frontcourt player on our team.  And Kentucky Wesleyan's 6'7 forward still cooked them.  The young man's a former D-1 recruit who transferred down last year.  Maybe he had a Conklin summer.

Carlos Skinner transferred from SLU to Kentucky Wesleyan back around 91. 

He was an honorable mention D2 all American there in '93. 

I saw online he's a successful Software Specialist now.

Agreed, but Charlie was in a much better league too.

Well, if he's there for the education, he now has 5 free years.  Doesn't seem too dumb to me.  Doubt he'll make a living playing basketball.

Due to the current transient nature of college sports right now, I don’t know how it would be a good idea for a kid to red shirt anymore.  Maybe unless it’s their dream school or playing for their dream coach (that is well established and himself isn’t a flight risk).

Just for informational purpose, CJ Noland played 31 minutes for N Texas State, scored 11 in an OT home court win over N Iowa.

Solid performance by Noland. I think Meadows is a better addition for this team because he’s consistent and stable at the point and the 2, which should limit turnovers. Shares the ball well.

Do we think Travis might try and recruit BV back to SLU?

[billiken_roy]

i hope not.   we werent good enough for him.  obviously he would rather sit around in the middle of Nebraska corn fields than play for the Billikens.

I really like our point guards. Well spaced with a dependable senior and a talented freshman. Nothing lost in the exchange with Noland. The big difference is in the coaching swap. Big win for us.

I'm not sure we can afford him.  He just landed a $35 NIL Shoutout.  https://opendorse.com/profile/brock-vice
