SLU will have to pony-up to keep him. I don't think we should really pony-up for him. He's a great scorer but doesn't do much else and this year he's been very injury prone after the broken foot. He doesn't really warrant 30-a-game unless he's out there with guys who just plain can't score. Would rather build around better defenders. That's just me, though. Parker is one of the few D1 talents we have on this roster. AGB91 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not saying we should or should not but Gibby has played in every game over the last 4 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibson can go; too many other guys that can shoot 40% from 3 in the game today. I thought he was better than he was until i dug into the stats. A lot of guys can do what he does. I was talking about Parker; who is a much more dynamic scorer than GJ Heck man, even THJ is firing up threes in today's game. This isn't the special stat line it used to be. EVERYONE does this.

StLouBlue Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I had mentioned Alan Huss before along with Steve Lutz at Western Kentucky--both former Creighton assistants. This is only Huss first year at High Point & Lutz first year at Western Kentucky after 2 years at TX A&M Corpus Christi. Not sure either would look to jump after only 1 year but think both should be considered. Gibson looked a lot better when we had a real point guard. Meadows was miscast as a PG and Medley getting better but wasn't ready for big minutes this year. Parker when healthy had to have offense run through him--Gibson couldn't do this, depends on a PG. Hope both back next year and we have a real PG and another wing player at least. Ezewiro hopefully in better shape to play more minutes--Zhang & VanBussel have shown enough to come back and keep developing but a strong 4 will be needed.

slufan13 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 In the NIL/transfer era, every position can be upgraded every year. Guys like Jimerson and Parker would be nice pieces in smaller roles on a better team but both have huge limitations that will hold any team back if they're the focal points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the kind of coach we need, not a guy dependent on the portal and NIL. At least IMO that feels like what Schertz and DeVries have been doing in the MVC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry thought you were talking about Gibby. But ya, as legit as Parker is, this is a lot on injuries to go into next year thinking he’s your main guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLU pays better than every school in the Mountain West currently. SLU pays better (by double) than every MVC job. I am doing this quick so might miss a couple. Gonzaga is an easy #1. St Mary's has a solid track record, but Bennett is making a lot less than Ford there. Memphis in the AAC might be better. Nothing else in the AAC really comes close to SLU - maybe Wichita before the one Koch brother died. In the A10, Dayton or VCU might be viewed as better jobs. No one else is close. No one in the MVC is close. That is 5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufan13 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 SLU has the potential to be a top 5 non power 5 job. Great facilities, good financial commitment, good market, generally just good commitment to the program but not a ton of pressure to win, etc. slu92 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu92 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 If Travis Ford isn’t fired after the season is over, SLU is seriously a lost cause. Not a serious program, run by morons top to bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
