That way, the transfer can sit for the 18-19 season and be ready to step in after Henriquez, Bess and Foreman graduate. I know Ford has said he doesn't want to continue to build his team around transfers, but I don't think it is a bad approach with this scholarship. I agree. It would be nice to have a high quality transfer sitting next year when F/B/AD are in their Senior year and ready to step in the following year when they are gone and playing time is more readily available. I like that approach, because I continue to think the year after F/B/AD leave is going to be our most challenging year especially if Gordon would be leaving at the same time as a one and doner.

While I like the idea of an impact transfer, as long as Ford can get a kid he really likes in 2018 I think you do that. Odds are that there will be a transfer or two from our team after the year so I wouldn't want to pass on a quality kid to save for end of the year when one or two could open up anyways.

slusam Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 In an earlier interview Ford said he really likes the 2018 class and said they could end up with 3-4 recruits from this class. I would be very surprised if they save a spot for a transfer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3star_recruit Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 If we want to land a 4 star shooting guard out of high school, 2019 would be that class. Plenty of time to offer, should be coming off a good season and we're in on some pretty good players already. And we'd have that kid for four years as opposed to two. Going after another transfer in 2018 would sabotage that effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slusam Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Gordon coming will cause Foreman, Bess, and Henriquez to transfer? Maybe everone will leave and we will only have Gordon and Thatch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are assuming that they are on pace to graduate in 4 years even with maybe losing some credits in the transfer process. Also, what kind of logic would lead you to conclude that Gordon's arrival would cause any of them to leave when that arrival could be turning the team into a powerhouse?

Old guy Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 More than that, the transfers (Foreman, Henriquez, Bess, and Graves) will already have spent a redshirt year at SLU. Why should they transfer and screw up their remaining eligibility? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almaman Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 5 hours ago, TheChosenOne said: With regards to Hellems, any chance he was at the Chaminade/Althoff game where Hellems put on an absolute show offensively. Anyone at or who watched film of that game had to be really impressed. He knocked down shots from deep (7-9 from 3) as well as hitting mid range shots and getting to the rim (8-14 inside the arc and 10-12 from the line). The timing would line up (the game was on January 21st and the offer from Indiana was on January 24th). One of the better offensive games I have seen a kid have. In that same game, Goodwin had 42 points and 18 rebounds, so an impressive battle. We did have that one's stream posted here, I watched most. Classic local HS game for sure.

WVBilliken Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 SLU has 2 high profile recruits verbals for 18. SLU will get a 3rd, just need to decide which to take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a growing trend for transfers to go a third school as a GT. I think we played against two in the A10 and if I remember maybe it was Oregon in the Final Four with one also. So never say never. You get your degree in 4 and you want your final season to be memorable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be plenty of minutes left to keep Foreman satisfied. That is if Foreman bounces back fully from his hip surgery. Gordon can't play the 4 and 5 at the same time. French and Gordon won't be playing 30 mpg either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many averaged over 25 MPG? Ford had history of spreading out the minutes of his front court players at OSU, why do you think that is going to change now at SLU?
