Excited to launch a new sports agency today called Recruit Advisor. We’ll help high school athletes navigate the communications and compliance challenges of earning a college scholarship. Check us out >> therecruitadvisor.com

Thanks for the memories @SaintLouisMBB. #RollBills

Bacon and Billikens to start the day. LFG!!! #RollBills

In a tournament of story lines, few better than @JoshSchertzSLU and @Robbie_Avila30. Stuck together from Indiana State to SLU and achieve tournament dream in last ride. Fun to see loyalty rewarded.

A summary of my friends @Venmo transactions this morning: 🏀🏀🏀

We are Zo back! #GoBears

Mr. March

@WyattWheeler_ “We did it. It’s over.” 😂 Starting to think you have this effect on programs.

We did it. It's over. Hell of a first season on the beat. Thank you for putting up with me, accepting me, interacting with me, reading my stuff, etc. Better days ahead. I had fun sometimes kinda.

Today I'm launching Forthwell, my personal brand — and the name says everything about what I'm trying to do with my life. Forth. To move forward. To go out into the world with intention and purpose. Well. With excellence. With care. With conviction. That's the goal. Not just to be busy or to build things, but to move through the world in a way that actually matters — and to pour that same standard into every endeavor I'm a part of. I'm genuinely humbled by the work I get to be involved in. Consulting, civic leadership, technology, faith, community, writing — each one a different expression of the same deep desire: that the work I do would be a blessing to the people and communities around me in some real, tangible way. Forthwell is the home for all of it. Come take a look — forthwell.co — and I'd love to hear what you're working on too.

I was at an event where @JoshSchertzSLU answered the question about why he chose @SaintLouisMBB. He made a hell of a compelling argument for the unique potential this job presents. If I were betting, I’d say he’s got a long and successful career in STL ahead of him no matter what he accomplishes this season.

Did you know that, according to Child Care Aware of Missouri, the average annual cost of child care for an infant in Missouri is $13,780? For a 4-year-old, it’s $9,568! Learn about Child Care Works, a new child care cost-sharing program in Missouri at missouriindependent.com/2026/03/02/com…

@WyattWheeler_ Used to get these hourly from @KC_Hains and @JayBirdKC. Simpler times.

Still getting Matt Hackman seeding charts after leaving the Missouri Valley Conference 🔥🔥🔥🔥🐐🐐🐐🐐

@scottfaughn @RGreggKeller Don’t get the frustration — I think he’s elite.

@RGreggKeller It’s a dark dark time.

Someone please check on @scottfaughn.

“Those dreams are formed now. Go chase them. Go get them.” Legendary sign off. 🇺🇸

@alexteaton Incredible stuff.

Today is Johnny Gaudreau, Jr’s birthday. You cannot make this up. 🇺🇸 Sports is the best.

Pretty insightful stuff, as is usual for Buffet.

Have to imagine the offer to stay and resign at end of season is the beginning and end of the “for cause” claim. Certainly appears to be a Hail Mary effort for K State athletics and probably something we’ll see more of with these monstrous buyouts looming.

The @SaintLouisMBB getting national love. Jay Bilas calls coach Schertz an offensive savant. Seth Greenberg even complimenting Bob Ramsey and Earl Austin for their clever nicknames: “Instant Sharma”Joe Lunardi called this team one of the best in A-10 history.

Damn near grew up in this place. Such a cool venue and so many memories.

Congrats to Recruit Advisor Athlete @CalebEOtten on earning his first offer. With his work ethic, his future is very very bright. Go Caleb!
