They’re the ones that can get us where we haven’t been in 15 years.
yeah, they’re doing the same thing with Marquis Kennedy too. He’s getting a lot of upsell for a guy that’s never been a full time starter, not even for a last place A10 team last season. I haven’t watched him play much, except against siu, but I sure don’t see what they see. I really hope we get the guy, and I really hope he is as good as they say. But I’m skeptical.Got Dam it….here we go again. You guys are really upselling this guy…..and I’m buying it. Don’t let me down.
I think people are looking at him as a Jones replacement. He’s been injured the past couple years at Loyola, but when healthy he gets downhill and to the rim just like Jones. His 3 point shooting has been up and down year to year, but he doesn’t shoot them as much as Jones does either.
He could definitely get 10+ points per game and he’s a really good defender. If he can stay healthy , he would be a really good pickup.
Respectfully, and I'm not just saying that, I'll take the under for a case of beer. You don't go from being a LESS than 10ppg player, then come HERE of all places where offense goes to die, and become a 10ppg+ scorer. Look at Newton as an example.
I think it's fair to note:
1. The team he was on in his early Loyola years when they made deep NCAA runs: was he needed to score more than 10ppg?
2. He has the capability to score 10+ as he has a number of games in the upper 20s.
3. Your point assumes offensive improvement isn't possible.
My expectation (and hope) is that we get 1-2 15ppg+ scorers so the burden isn't on Kennedy, but it's hard not to like what we would get with Marquise on the roster; he'd almost certainly get a starting or sixth man spot IMO.
Still being told all is well but I am getting impatient
I am thinking that we are getting to a point in the day where SIU will probably just do a press release on the web site this afternoon and then have the formal press conference (if they decide to have one) on Monday.
Keep refreshing the web site!!!
It’s Friday 4 p.m. news dump time!!!

We may not get an announcement today either. Almost all of campus is shut down today due to a major electrical issue that started last night. The entire campus was completely knocked out, classes were cancelled and all non-essential workers were told to stay home today.

Jerrance Howard is an essential worker. It's mid-April and there are five open schollies.
Ladies and gentleman. I was just informed coach Howard is here and it is a done deal
welcome to SIU coach Howard
