I'd like to see how SLU does in the post-Majerus' players era first. Perhaps I'm in the minority, but I still need to see more from a program that is relevant pretty much for the first time ever before I jump onto the "SLU is a must-add" wagon. Plus, I'm not particularly impressed with them being on the list of six schools currently in the NCAA tournament that fall below the APR minimum score of 930. Kind of embarrassing for a Jesuit University if you ask me. I'm not saying SLU is just a flash in the pan, but I'm also not yet convinced they're much more. I'd take a wait and see approach, at least in the hypothetical situation that that were doable.

This...pretty much.

They still have an interim HC. Wait and see, for sure.

Welcome to the Big East!! Glad to see that Xavier is joining the conference. As a St. John's grad and huge fan, it's been tough to watch the slow demise of the Big East over the past few years. I am so glad that we're all liked-minded schools and I think the league will be incredible!!

Welcome! looking forward to playing a real team in New York, not one in the Bronx.

Thanks - it's going to take getting used to seeing SJU as someone other than Saint Joe's around here.

OK, lock this Catholic news thread. I'll start a Big East one.

You could just delete your initial post and all 98 pages would go bye-bye.

I agree with this. Especially the APR.
