If we're going to run more zone next year, he'd be an interesting name. But he would get eaten up in man in the Big 12. You'd basically have to play a drop coverage defense like Purdue does with Edey because he's not athletic enough to guard the high pick-and-roll otherwise.

He's very very likely going with his coach who got the St. Louis job. He entered the portal as a no contact. Everyone basically expected this.

Dude has the best nicknames I've heard of in the college game.

"Cream Abdul-Jabbar"
"Larry Blurred"
"Steph Blurry"
"Milk Chamberlain"

I was only familiar with the first one but you are correct: they are all great.

Very unlikely. The only way it's possible:

1. He fits our needs

2. Fed a cultural fit

If he's not a match on both, he won't come to Baylor. There probably is little interest on his part anyway.

No he's not coming here, but there's been little to no chatter about him going anywhere else. I'm taking Goodman's tweet to be slightly sarcastic.

Logical conclusion.

However, his pick could be a surprise to everyone, just not the surprise any of them expect.

He's a pretty good doppelgnger for their Billiken mascot.

The surprise would've been him going somewhere else.

The St. Louis sports media were pretty certain he was following Schertz to SLU
