I'm sure many of you are excited about the excellent new additions to this years squad. I know I am, and I'm hoping to see many of you at the Meet and Greet. Heard season tickets sales are moving in a very positive direction, so if you have not purchased yet, please do so soon. Even if you can only make a couple of games per year, proceeds assist SIU Athletics. Hope to see y'all there!
GO DAWGS!
This is an event very much worth attending. It will have you wishing the season started now!

@salukiworld Thanks for adding this additional information SW. It sounds like a fantastic event. Hearing some very positive things about this years squad, especially our transfer PG and Big C. Guess I need to start practicing my shot in the driveway! 😀
Who will be there tonite? Looking forward to meeting many of you!
I'll probably be in the front row, with my Saluki hat on, and long sleeve maroon button down. Jeans on with size 14 cowboy boots a blazin! Let's GO DAWGS!
Cade Hornecker was heavier than I expected from the waist down, very sturdy legs. I was informed that he is very smart and very driven. Clarence Rupert is a big dude until he stands close to Scottie Ebube. It was a good event, I didn’t see the size 14 cowboy boots though!

Are you surprised ?

Those long eared pups are cute!
That pic of Bryan's kid with the Salukis is precious
Looks like Rupert will be a quotable fella. Enjoyed this comment from him about Saint Peters' upset over Kentucky: "Kentucky had 20,000 fans there and we had maybe six,” Rupert said. “So we looked at those six fans and said, ‘We’re going to give you a show."

I think he'll be a fan favorite!

I feel like he will be a KEY player in bringing this team back to potential NCAA tournament games and that, as well as his personality, drive, etc, will indeed make him a fan favorite.
