This is an interesting one.

How so, Matt?

Saw where CA had another player to leave. I guess we're not the only one that happens to. Lol

We're already at 500+ players and all the coaching hires/fires haven't been announced yet. Going to be a lot more.

I am seeing 398 D1 transfers with that going up nearly 50 a day. There are now about 23 D1 schools with four or more in the transfer portal. Makes our "mass defection" of two, so far, look pretty mild.

When you consider the other two "involuntary" expulsions the turnover is significant. My point was that this much turnover is generally not positive. Not unheard of but stil hard to spin as just business as usual.

Departures Under Keller:

2019:
TJ - All-SLC
Aaron - All-SLC Defensive team
Karl
Jock

2018:
Stephon Fisher
Cam Mack

2017:
Lasani Johnson
Isaiah Traylor

Other players (Walk Ons) that have transferred in this time: Tyler Underwood, Chase Winchester, Khiorie Stewart, Jonny Dahl, Payton Stephens, Aaron Walton, Harrison Perkins

We hang around 5 a year counting the walk-ons, which push the number up a lot. Scholarship players we average 2.6 a year. Not bad numbers comparing to what other programs are seeing on a yearly basis.

Oliver Lynch-Daniels also transferring from HBU. I thought he was a young, talented player with an interesting skill set.

The difference is players are leaving mid season. Karl, Aaron, Cam and even Gilmore was off the team for a bit and came back

The Leon situation is what makes me think Aaron isnt completely gone.

Lynch-Daniels leaves and Janacek comes in.

im not so sure about that (my opinion). You dont get back in the coaches good graces by liking the comment Derrick jones says about SFA on twitter

and he has talked down to recruits about us...he gone...

Didn't catch that stuff. Just know he is still on campus and most guys would have packed up and left given his situation...

AA has enough snap to him to realize that grades mean something when transferring and being eligible...I think it is 24 passing hours per year to stay eligible...

Not about the men's game, but didn't want to start a new thread. UIW hires Jeff Dow as head women's basketball coach. Dow resigned at the end of his five year contract at ULM. His record in those five years was 44-103. He blamed it on lack of financial support and facilities. He was suspended in October for one week prior to the start of the season without pay due to HR concerns.

Oh, and although he had a winning record as head coach in his five years at IUP, his previous job, he was fired for claims of physical and mental abuse of players. He, of course, denied the claims. Interesting hire.

Not exactly a sterling resume' to hang your hat on...

Personally, I'd take Ladner.

I thought Adams would be a hot name, but then I looked at his past HC record & he seems like a better assistant coach IMO.

They would do well to hire Ladner.

I hate to see Ladner go...he's a good coach & this conference needs good coaches. SLU BB was on the rise...with coach gone and their seniors...hmmm?? What will happen? I enjoyed watching that team play.

For now, I'm glad that he is gone. Lol!

And, I understand why. However, SFA needs the SLC to get better. This does not help do that.

Exactly

That was fast.

Dang! No time for even an external candidate to apply.

Nicholls did the same thing and look where they ended up. When someone leaves you should always look outside to at least compare to.

The funny thing is that of the final 4 teams, Auburn had the fastest pace of play for the season, coming in at 155th, Virginia came in at 353rd. Dead last in Pace of Play.

Of our last two winning tournament teams, we ranked at 323 with the 2014 team & 217 with the 2016 team on pace of play.

Lamar looking for a new women's coach.

Maybe Lamar won't play so ugly with a new coach. Interesting...

I'm also glad that she is gone. Lol!
