If Harvey is healthy enough to play and all parties want him to return, cool. Loyalty matters and I'm a believer in it. From a basketball standpoint, though, he can't be counted on to be a big contributor with all the time he has lost and, realistically, he had work to do on his game regardless of the health challenges. One of those deals where anything you'd get from him would have to be considered a bonus.
The tricky thing is, timing-wise, they probably need to make a call one way or the other now (and maybe they already have) to know if they have a third scholarship to play with this spring.

Another point guard!
Not crazy for the pool we are swimming in. Seem to be swimming in the low major or D2 pool. The players on the same level as us that we have showed interest in have played on losing teams. With over a 1000 players in the transfer portal we need a couple of impact transfers and so far I haven’t seen us attached to very many players that can make a huge difference. I sure hope I am wrong. I guess time will tell.
1) Stop stressing about where players come from, it is a useless tool to evaluate players. You haven't seen a second from this kid, or most of the other ones we have reached out to. he could make a huge difference for us.
2) We have reached out to about 30 kids. Some in lower levels, some mid majors, some high majors. some with mid major interest, some with high major interest. If you have not seen those, you simply aren't paying attention or are just ignoring them so you have a reason to complain.

Also very possible they’ve reached out to a bunch of guys we haven’t heard anything about yet. The Chris Payton stuff didn’t come up until yesterday. The staff is casting a wide net so who they’re talking to doesn’t matter too much.
Well, we're solidly in play for the country's #1 Juco D1 PG AND the #1 Juco D2 PG. I'd say that's not too bad. Plenty of fall back options.

Not trying to complain I just want us to be relevant again and after 15 years of frustrating basketball I am getting a little impatient. We need to add scoring to replace Coupet and just need more offense in general. The fact that I am still a fan and supporter after the last 15 years of SIU basketball has to mean something. The Saluki boards in the past had several poster's who had inside information, it seems that most of those posters are gone. Of course we still have Barkeep and a few others that have kept this board going and for that I am grateful. Hopefully us die hard Saluki fans are rewarded soon.

Lol we still have that information. Here is the problem though unlike previous coaches. Bryan keeps things pretty tight lipped.
If my memory serves me, I think 'our' first Spring/Summer signing last year was Coupet in early May. So while it is indeed possible to ink someone here in the next couple of weeks, I think we may have to wait until May before we see some action. Obviously though, it's more about WHO we sign than when.
Hopefully the staff is holding out for their targets instead of settling for lower profile guys. But man, I’m ready for some news. It feels like ages since we got a commitment.
Filewich to Wofford.
Filewich to Wofford.
Good for him! I think he'll have some success there
Thought Filewich would land at one of the Dakotas closer to Canada but nice landing spot for him. Hope he does well.
Huge fan of the Wofford program and think this move will be a win win for both Filewich and Wofford.
