Yeah, I am really excited about adding Avila, but it does seem like adding him and Swope from their starting 5 was the minimum expectation. A lot of the connected folks on here were implying we’d be getting all of them. Ultimately I am pumped with the hire and Avila, so who cares, but what you point out is true. Now let’s see how Schertz builds out the rest of the roster.

We're dealing with 18-21 year olds making decisions in the presence of yearly dollar signs that I don't know if I'll end up reach in my life. Things change on a dime.

Hundreds of thousand of dimes, in the case of the 3 guys who landed elsewhere!

I think the addition of two rather than four returning starters extends the honeymoon period for Coach Schertz.  Four returning starters plus Jimerson is a preseason top 25 team because of all the known factors. Expectations by local and national media would be through the roof.

Two returning starters starters plus Jimerson plus a couple of solid pieces from the portal is a team that will be projected as top four in the A10 by the preseason outlets.  Two very different situations.  

Good point. I was thinking this is a NCAA team with 4 ISU starters and Jimmerson.  Now I don't know yet.  Going to depend on the quality of the transfers. Even then will they have chemistry.

Yay when is the last time we followed crystal ball predictions?

There’s a palm reader advertised right outside my neighborhood- past the east side into O’Fallon- haven’t visited- I envision Whoopi Goldberg from ghost.

You’re also thinking about Miss Cleo…

[Old guy]

Did both of the ISU transfers confirmed they are coming to SLU or not yet?

 

[Billikitty7]

I believe they are both here currently. 
Avila has been posting a couple pics of himself in saint louis

People thought that 3 were likely.  Kent visited Texas and went there.  It’s free agency, that’s how things work.  We got the prize of the 5, and a very solid guard.  Time to move on and see who else comes.

Hell’s Angels have took control of the palm readers, too.

Oh, I get it which is why I never bought the all 5 are coming talk. The power brokers on here probably should not have been making it seem like a slam dunk. Ultimately we got the prize and a tremendous coach, so I fully expect him to still build a high level roster without those 3.

There is a lot to do still, but I’m hopeful for NCAA or bust type of expectations year 1

[Westy03]

Tournament or bust should be the expectation every single year. Anything less and we are settling.

Trilly Donovan only predicted Robbie and Isaiah.  I listen to Trilly rather than Frank C.

MBM expectations are what they are. We always think we're better than where we're picked in the preseason. That's why we're MBMs.

If you swing by the rally they are holding in High Ridge right now you may be able to get some answers...

[Old guy]

OK, Avila is in. The waiting is over, a key component to Schertz team is secured. Now we can allow ourselves to start thinking big.

Know it won't happen, but I can dream,

Aidan Mahaney from St. Mary's is in the portal...

Give it a rest.

What is the status of Willard the CA kid who gave us a LOI last year? I also read Schertz was after him for ISU. Has he reneged? 

[FatherB]

Avila posted a Swope real on Instagram. Go Bills. Looking forward to the announcement tomorrow.
