billikenmetz Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 These guys are good and they're handling a very pro-Okie State crowd well. 46-39 Saluki's at the half...not bad. Laury is a great coach and should be considered for the SLU job 06-07. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Lowery is a good coach, but don't you think he benefitted from the success of Weber and Painter. SIU was almost the perfect job for an unproven coach. Contrast that to what Soderberg walked into. Totally different situation. I'm really impressed with how SIU gets out on defense. Consistently disrupt what an offense wants to do. Looking at the strengths of that team(guards-swing forwards), I'm thinking Soderberg may be going after similar talents. This may be why it is being reported that Soderberg is seemingly going after 6'5-6'7 guys as opposed to that 6'8+ monster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3star_recruit Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 You've got to have the hops and strength to pull that off, though. If you're mostly an earthbound player, you've got to be a little bit bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
