majerus mojo Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Milwaukee? Bradley? ISU? Woof. Maybe Ford told all his high major buddies Pickett is already under wraps, and these small schools are the only ones left out of the loop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMM28 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Yeah Ford should stop recruiting him because Milwaukee offered. I forgot SLU should only recruit to other offers. Not how good of a system fit or evaluation or any of that overrated crap. How many stars! /bluefont Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickett visits SLU tomorrow, what you are seeing are last minute efforts to get him before Wednesdays vist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kshoe Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I want Pickett and hope he ends up a billiken, but I have to admit the reality that P6 schools aren't rushing to offer a scholarship is a bit of a red flag. Still hope he's a billiken soon though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 There are scores of people transferring out of schools and getting releases from LOIs. For some reason unknown to us Pickett appears to have fallen through the cracks and has attracted little attention, much the better for us then.

Offers since being released: SLU Indiana State Bradley Western Kentucky Maybe he is just not that good and we are not seeing clearly since he is local? With that said I trust Ford and Tate's talent evaluation so I hope he becomes a Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusam Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Pickett and Whaley are my predictions. When it happens I am going to go on and on about how I told everyone but no one would listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can edit and move posts and threads, and we can hide or delete posts. We don't have the ability to suspend posters. That falls on the administrator, SignGuy.

That falls on the administrator, SignGuy. It just seems that the threads have taken a bit of a turn for the worse, i.e. excessive bashing of SLU, Ford, and their recruits going unchecked and somewhat encouraged, or how about Glorydays2013 in general. Don't you have power of influence on posters, or even SignGuy to take some sort of action? It's okay. Pistol helped me tremendously and solved my problem. Maybe I'll just hope that someone starts a new website forum where actual SLU Billiken fans can gather and the Mizzou scum are not tolerated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old guy Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 2 hours ago, slufanskip said: I'm not sure I understand why some want to ban Glory Days? I'd love to hear the argument for. The issue with Glory Days, was not what he said in any one post, the problem was that he was posting constantly and that he changed what he said also constantly. On top of that he posted frequently taking credit for things he had said or claimed to have said at some point or the other. The answer to Glory Days is to ignore him, something we all can do freely, while allowing those like you that like to hear what he has to say. I do not think he is a destructive troll, I think he is a guy that has this dominating need to hear himself talk, and to be right about everything.

However I will say it is nice to have Mr. Gordon or a Larry Hughes type player sprinkled in with them over the hump to a final four. As for Glorydays2013 he is a young over zealous fan and I am thankful for all new comers. Glorydays2013 gets attacked constantly, all earned, and handles it pretty well without being nasty.

RiseAndGrind Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Class currently sits at #31 in ESPN's rankings. If Pickett is added (4*) and a big is added, I think the BIlls have a good shot at moving into the Top 25. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
