Ask yourself how many players do you recall having had fractures of both feet while in active play and in the space of a couple of years apart. And this occurred during a charity function? Who were they playing, the Celtics? I think it was the Special Oly thing the team did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he is saying that joints get stressed when a person grows faster than what would be considered a normal pattern. The stress causes problems as time goes by for those who fit this pattern - just one example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he was only ranked just shy of 300 when he finished high school 2 years ago, so he's obviously no good.

If Burton wants #3, then we have a self confidence issue with either him or Bess. If he wants #12, then we are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACE Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 13 hours ago, Franchise_08 said: Some recruiting news: JUCO SF Tommy Burton, Jr. (6-8, 195, 2.5★) has received an offer from Saint Louis. His stats are very unimpressive and he is listed as a SF, which doesn't figure to be a great need. It appears he is only a freshman, so he would have three years of eligibility. My guess is Ford may envision him as an athletic 4, which would make sense. I would expect there to be a lot more recruiting chatter over the next week or two. The list of available transfers grows every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks good in some stretches of the video, but in others I think he's just okay. The thing that concerns me about his stats is that they very gradually went down over the course of the season.

Glorydays2013 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Ford is probably the best recruiter the A10 has right now. I trust his judgement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
