As many people expected, hours after the Sycamores lost in heartbreaking fashion in the NIT championship, news broke that Josh Schertz is headed to SLU. Really a great hire. I, along with many on Twitter, am surprised that he's not holding out one more year at ISUb for a top tier P6 job. Supposedly he was in the running for the Louisville job this year. SLU has excellent resources and is probably a top two or three job in the A10, so maybe he is thinking a few years of success there could put him in the running for a blue blood type job.
I expect the Billikens to be competitive right away. Likely that Coach Schertz brings over quite a few ISUb players. Don't be surprised to see Robbie Avilia vs Miles Rubin next year. Hopefully, "Cream Abdul-Jabbar" doesn't view it as a revenge game against the school that supposedly went cold on his recruitment!
When one of the best mid major programs offers you $2m per year, you take the job. It would crazy to stay at Indiana State for another year in hopes of an offer that may never come.
