Yes, notice an IMMEDIATE post on the website of any new commitment.....that's a big change...and it's now appearing in my facebook feed as well.... 2010andBeyond and MusicCityBilliken like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraz Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 4 hours ago, slu72 said: I’d be wary of any more FR unless they’re a game changer. They’re likely gonna sit, get ticked off, and then leave. Fill it out with experienced guys to provide cover for injuries. Find an Avila in training and he’ll likely stay because Robbie may go pro after this season. His backup will then see potential minutes in his future and likely stay. According to nba.com Robbie’s not on the radar for the 2025 draft. He’s not projected to be drafted in 2026 either. Things can change, but we should plan on 2 seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLURadioBoy Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Frank said on his show that Casey’s commitment is supposed to come today. He mentioned him and Avila playing at the same time with Casey being the 5 and Robbie playing the 4. Not sure if that was his assumption or what Schertz told him. With the way Schertz’s offense doesn’t use traditional positions, it doesn’t really sound like something Schertz would say.

This is interesting, mainly because im not sure even coach could comfortably say he may even play a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In an early interview with Bernie, Coach said he can adapt his style to the player on the roster. He mentioned a starter at LMU, Emanual Terry who had a cup of coffee in the NBA, but he couldn't shoot or pass, but was a runner and a great rim protector and defender.

ACE Posted April 24 Author Share Posted April 24 I understand some of the concerns about Hunter's efficiency, but when I look at his video, I see some similarities to Conwell. Maybe it's because they have similar size and are both lefties. Conwell did not have good efficiency his first year either, but greatly improved by playing under Schertz. Perhaps Hunter could do the same in this system. He may not be quite the same scorer as Conwell, but would probably be a better distributor - closer to being a PG.

SLUMedBilliken15 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I want Hunter. His FT % is great. Therefore, I bet he can shoot. Just needs to take more high percentage shots. Thats where Schertz's system comes into play. I bet he would do well here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was in the portal last season (before his injury) committed to Butler and then reneged and stayed at Central Ark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look for athletes who you know can shoot and defend, but maybe didn't put up numbers at their previous school for whatever reason. Then, let their natural athleticism and shooting ability thrive in Schertz's system where they might be getting many more open shots. That's another reason I feel as if Gibby might have a great final season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLUMedBilliken15 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I predict Jimmerson will be known as one of the great Billikens of all time with records nearly impossible to beat (***due to COVID and RS, but regardless). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufan13 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Hunter doesn't necessarily seem like a great fit but 1) Schertz has shown an ability to improve players efficiency and 2) having a guard with a lot of experience is something we needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
