The Billikens’ rugged, high-IQ frontcourt engine
In the 2011-12 season, Brian Conklin was the kind of forward coaches trust in big games: he led Saint Louis with 13.9 points per game and added 5.1 rebounds, while earning Academic All-America honors and finishing as a durable, dependable scorer who had never missed a game[5][7]. His strengths were efficient interior finishing, foul-drawing, and steady leadership, plus the toughness to play through an earlier ankle issue that never fully let him get back to 100%[8]. If your team wants a smart, physical, no-drama veteran who produces and sets the tone, he fits the bill[5][12].
