ACE Posted April 8 Author Share Posted April 8 I should quit staring at the Portal and hitting the refresh button over and over waiting for something of interest to pop. I should just go outside soon and stare at the sun. Lord Elrond and MusicCityBilliken like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slu72 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 What are we down to, 5 returnees? A lot of work to do for Coach Schertz. billiken_roy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACE Posted April 8 Author Share Posted April 8 No surprises so far- I think Gibby, Thames and Larry are the only possibilities- maybe Curcic - but he’s another one who could follow Harriman. billiken_roy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taj79 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 The whole roster is essentially gone. Depends on how you take that ... good or bad. But one thing is certain, there will be no "he was a Travis Ford recruit" excuses as next year unfolds. NextYearBill likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish every one of them well in their basketball and college careers, but no one else besides Gibson is a good fit for the new system. Move/cut without the ball and elite passing and shooting--that is what is needed for all 5 positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobillsgo Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I really think Gibby, Curcic, and Thames (if he improves his shooting) are the only ones who could realistically fit into Schertz’s system. Hughes is too selfish with the ball, and in love with the mid range, which Schertz despises. I guess those things could be unlearned, but I don’t know if it’s worth it. Might sound harsh, but we need to rid ourselves of almost all of the Travis Ford era. Talk about a roster filled with a bunch of different parts that never made any sense. slufan13 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posting without looking at the stats bites me again, didn’t realize Thames was 36% from 3. With his athleticism and ability to get to the rim, there’s a spot for him if he wants to stay.

Bilzz Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Schertz was a finalist for him at ISU. Re-opened his recruitment today. Could be a coincidence, but probably worth keeping an eye on it.

The Hughes family transcends the Travis Ford era. And Curcic and Thames aren't any more deserving of a spot than LHJ is. I hope Schertz sees a place for him.

I don’t get the narrative that Hughes wouldn’t fit in Schertz’s system. Good 3 point shooter,good defender. Won’t have to handle the ball as much. Not a knock on Thames but I see him as a better fit. I know Thames had better 3 point numbers but it was a small sample on mostly open shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clocktoweraccords2004 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Any loss on the French guy? Any SLU players leaving now I assume got the talk from shertz already. Gibson being there today gives me hope he stays. Nothing wrong with a complete rebuild, and the isu players plus 3 solid transfers is a good roster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LHJ, shot 35% from 3, which is very average for a D1 combo guard. He was also a starter on one of the worst defensive teams in the country. I don't recall him shutting down anyone, and he didn't light up the steal stats, so I am not sold on the good defender narrative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much better than Hughes. Our lack of an inside game limited open 3’s. Larry was usually given the top defensive assignment. Yes I know this was by default. We were a terrible defensive team because we couldn’t protect the rim. Too much help vs guarding the line . This is my biggest Ford defensive criticism. I am not trying to make him sound like an All American but I think he would be a strong rotation player. cgeldmacher likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep down I think he will. Cement the SLU legacy as an all time great and win some games in the new system on the way out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
